| − | The purpose of the Products and Services Testbed is to provide an environment where innovations in prototype standards, services, protocols, and best practices can be explored and evaluated. The testbed serves as a forum for innovative collaboration across all sectors of the Federation to improve availability and access to our member products and services for mutual benefit.

| − | | Emily Law || Disaster Life Cycle Testbed - An ESIP Product & Service Testbed Proposal: Establishing a Collaborative Common Operating Picture (C-COP) || Start a framework for addressing recent Presidential Executive Orders (PEOs) that address the importance of building resilience in the face of a changing climate both nationally and internationally. The testbed will provide a forum by which ESIP members can not only improve their products, but also share best practices for other members considering how they too might have data products to offer to the disasters response community. || Disaster Cluster || 2014-10

| − | | Eugene Chi || Connect, Share and Discover ESIP Research and Expertise using VIVO Technology || ESIP community needs a searchable database cataloguing the research and expertise of ESIP members to promote integrated and interdisciplinary research. VIVO is a semantic-web-based research and expertise discovery tool. This work is to use this technology to research and develop a testbed system for the collection and discovery of ESIP research and expertise, and includes extending the VIVO ontology to include the ESIP research and expertise ontology. || ESIP Testbed Web Support || 2014-10

Testing the service by means of an online hackathon should also allow the service to be known more broadly... In-depth analysis of the types of data collection, visualization tools, and technologies used by these data catalogs and registries. || ToolMatch - Semantic Web Cluster || 2014-10

| − | | Matthew Ferritto || [http://testbed.esipfed.org/node/7288 ToolMatch Service Testbed Project] || Address two use cases by developing out The ToolMatch service - 1) that its difficult to know what tools can be used on a dataset, and 2) the converse; it is difficult to know what datasets a tool is capable of working upon. The ToolMatch service will have, at its foundation, a simple ontology and set of rules that will describe what kinds of tools work with what kinds of datasets. For both use cases, a simple user interface for user interaction, and a simple RESTful web service for use by applications and data portals, will give the client access to the ToolMatch knowledge base with the same goal of matching tools with data. || Semantic Web Cluster, Energy & Climate Cluster || 2014-04

| − | | Michael Huhns, Line Pouchard || [http://commons.esipfed.org/node/7772 Evaluating the ESIP Ontologies for Mapping and Reconciliation] || Many organizations, groups, and individual scientists are developing ontologies to specify the semantics of their domains of interest in environmental sciences. The ontologies are useful, but largely exist in isolation. There are major benefits to be obtained by relating the ontologies to each other and reconcile their differing specification languages. The objective of our effort is to develop a semi‐automated means for curating ontologies and reconciling their representations. The result will be greatly improved accessibility and usability of the ontologies, which will help to accelerate research in environmental sciences. || Semantic Web Cluster || 2014-04

| − | | Bruce Caron, Adam Shepherd || Working Group Syndicated Content Tool || Similarly focused working groups across organizations such as ESIP, Research Data Alliance (RDA) and EarthCube (EC) could share content from their respective online website workspaces through a syndicated RSS feed for display on the other related working group websites. Coincidentally, all of these sites run on the Drupal platform, for which, the EOSDIS group developed code, or Drupal module, that syndicates content across multiuple Drupal sites – the Earth Data Federated Content Tool (ED-FCT). || TBD

Such a framework would be used to capture and represent rich, semantic annotations about what objects and features are present within the scene, the interactions between them, as well as further describe such objects and interactions. || http://commons.esipfed.org/node/7864

Mb-system was supported by NOAA from 2002 to 2004. It does not work in windows and is complicated to install and use. Goal: Create a one click installer that will install Cygwin, mb-system, and supporting files on a windows system. And pull out a python wrapper for Apple and non-cygwin installation. This will provide a GUI to export the data in xyz, ascii, and GeoTIFF. || http://commons.esipfed.org/node/7760

It is imperative that the aquaponics systems be suited for the region based on climate and population and that the people of the area are taught how to use and maintain the systems. Through the use of technologies such as Esri ArcMap, Worldview, iRODS, ect. geospatial data from a variety of DAACs will be used to pre-plan for a case study on a particular region. || http://commons.esipfed.org/node/7871

| − | | Kyle Nelson || Enhancing and Educating with the WxSat Mobile App || At the 2014 Summer ESIP meeting a poster was designed and presented to promote the idea of building upon the successful WxSat app (iOS and Android) that allows users to view global visible, infrared and water vapor satellite data on mobile devices. Current products are viewable in black and white but color enhanced imagery can allow for ease of identification of key weather features. Satellite imagery is becoming more prevalent with ease of access online and is being displayed increasingly often on local and national weather segments. To enhance the understanding of the all who view satellite data, an educational tutorial will be created with case studies for all three imagery types. Meteorological phenomena will be identified through annotated still and animated images to provide a conceptual model for the user to apply when viewing satellite imagery in real time via the WxSat app or another source. || http://commons.esipfed.org/node/7860

Minecraft stores its world maps in Anvil file format that has similar characteristics that HDF has. By converting NASA HDF data into Minecraft map, kids and educators can play with NASA Earth Data easily in 3D. || http://commons.esipfed.org/node/7742

| − | | Matt Ferrito || ToolMatch Extension || The ToolMatch project was based upon the idea of semantic matching of data collections and tools that could be used with those data collections. Specifically, two use cases were developed for the service: 1. Search for the tools that can be used with a given data collection, and then find out what the tool can do with the data collection. 2. Search for collections that can be used with their tool, and capture information about what the data user would like to be able to do with their data. The poster created and presented at the 2014 ESIP Summer Meeting was based upon the idea of an extension of the second use case. This extension involves the semantic matching of data collection content with applicable tools. This matching is stricter than than matching based upon information about the data collection, but the use case itself is broader in scope. Ex: Given rainfall or topology measurements, determine which tools within a hyrdologoical model can be used with the data content. This will allow the appropriate tools within the model to be used with the matching data collection content. || http://commons.esipfed.org/node/7735
