View source for Summer 2007 Session: Agency Standards Adoption

Agency Standards Adoption Session Summary

What multi-agency groups already exist that are interested in standards? ESIP, FGDC, OSTP Data Sharing Committee, CODATA, US-GEO, GEOSS, CEOS, 
World Data Centers (ICSU)

How do we use these existing groups effectively?

How do we aggregate and present to the community the benefits that 
projects have achieved from using standards?
Journals – CODATA Data Science Journal, new Earth Informatics Journal

How do we aggregate and present to the community / management the costs 
of not using standards? (this is sometimes embarrassing to the agencies)

    Deaddata.org – a web-based community that leverages mass
    collaboration to read datasets that have become separated from their
    documentation.

    Special Sessions at AGU?
