Session Ideas

Science Data Mobile Apps and Other Mobile Technologies to Improve Data Access and Usability

• Description:

Mobile devices (smart phones and tablets) are commonplace among Earth science data users. This provides opportunities and challenges for bringing new capabilities to users via apps that go beyond what can be achieved with traditional computer applications This session focuses on the innovative use of mobile device unique capabilities (their mobility and ubiquity; location awareness; photo, video, and sound recording; accelerometers, networking, etc.) for apps that bring new data access capabilities to users and broaden the number of users using EO data.

Data Systems Interoperability - Solutions for Bridging Organizational Stovepipes for Improving Data Access

• Description:

Users have multiple Earth science data systems available to them from many domestic and international organizations. Although there is increasing adherence to data system standards, users are still confronted with having to learn the unique access tools from each organization. This session focuses on technologies that improve data discovery, search, and access for users needing data across multiorganizational data system boundaries by harmonizing multi-data system access and giving the user a seamless experience.
