Members of the Strategic Planning Working Group are invited to post their comments related to the progress made during the period 2004-2007. The last Strategic Plan's Goals and Strategies are posted below.
WOW... editing a table on the wiki is not as straightforward as one might like... perhaps we should consider another CMS for this kind of activity... hmmmm [BC]
Goal | Strategy | Accomplished | |
---|---|---|---|
Be the primary facilitator, coordinating body and advisor to promote the use of Earth science data and information. | |||
Provide strong leadership for the Earth science data and information community. | Yes – established stronger ties to ES agencies (NASA, NOAA, EPA) and provided a forum for interagency dialogue to advance field; Became an observer to GEO; became active in supporting applications & societal benefits clusters; {ESIP organization also allows/promotes leadership to emerge from within the community [BC]} | ||
Develop a long-range planning capability that proactively positions the Federation to influence the evolution of future Earth science data systems and their use. | {How is "influence" built and supported by the membership? For the leadership of the Federation to speak for its members we need to have much stronger internal communication [bc]} | ||
Promote the efficient integration and flow of Earth science data from collection and analysis to end-use. | |||
Encourage the development, testing, promotion and dissemination of interoperable systems. | Yes – Facilitated linkages between NASA and NOAA on metadata standards, operationalized portal for info dissemination | ||
Position the Federation as an organization on the cutting edge of developing technologies that aid the discovery and sharing of scientific data, information, and knowledge for Earth science purposes. | Yes – Formed Semantic Web & Web Services Clusters, IT&I Committee-sponsored workshops at semi-annual meetings, co-locating some NASA DSWG meetings at ESIP meetings; support to USGEO NTOs through clusters | ||
Improve the quality and usability of Earth science data and information systems. | |||
Facilitate user input into data and information systems. | No-Maybe – limited success by AQ & Water Mgt Clusters | ||
Develop and implement a mechanism for assessing data quality. | |||
Improve the discovery, ordering and acquisition of data products through proliferation of successful data and information systems and the capabilities they offer. | Yes-EIE portlets for specific topics are operational but still limited. | ||
Increase the use of Earth science data and information. | |||
Advance Earth system science by providing data and information to relevant scientific disciplines. | Yes in the applied sciences through clusters and Shenandoah testbed. | ||
Establish the Federation as an important resource for networking with other scientists, learning about new technologies, presenting research, and pursuing funding opportunities. | Yes, the ESIP Federation has been linking partners and others together to pursue collaborative projects. We have been co-I on several applications. In addition, NOAA’s Climate Program Office is engaging us to link science & technology to climate stakeholders through RISA. | ||
Incorporate Earth science data into Earth system science education. | Yes, ESIP Federation partners continue to infuse data into educational materials. Leadership from TERC on educational data access involves many ESIP partners. | ||
Incorporate Earth science data into operations and decision support systems. | Yes, AQ and Water Management Clusters & the formation of Carbon Cluster. | ||
Expand public awareness about the importance and value of Earth science and Earth science information systems. | |||
Conduct a targeted public awareness campaign about how data generated by Federation members can be used to understand the Earth’s environment. | Yes, limited – published Observations (stories brochure) in 2005 | ||
Market Federation partners’ products and services. | Yes, ESIP Federation Education Center and EIE portlets. Also, connection to GOS ESIP Federation community | ||
Target new members selectively and encourage active involvement and retention of current members. | |||
Develop an effective internal communications program to inform members about Federation operations, member updates, opportunities for collaboration, funding and other Federation support services. | Yes, 30 new members were added during 2004-2007; began distributing digest of grant opportunities at meetings; provided more breakout time for networking/collaboration that is member-driven | ||
Facilitate collaboration and networking among Federation members. | Yes, provided more breakout time for networking/collaboration that is member-driven; developed system to track partner expertise to be used as a collaboration finder | ||
Solidify a stable funding base for the Federation and the Earth science data management and information community. | |||
Create an effective resource development program for the Federation. | Well…diversified to include NOAA & progress toward EPA has been made. |
