** From Brian Wee's presentation on NEON: Interoperability is one area where this Cluster and LTAR probably can best collaborate in a mutually beneficial way (e.g., all measurements consistently done for all sites). LTAR is cognizant of the need for interoperability.

** [https://www.rd-alliance.org/case-statement-wheat-data-interoperability-wg.html Wheat Data Interoperability WG ]
** From our Cluster's previous discussions, the other two promising areas of collaboration are data products and data archive.
 
* Introduce Reid Boehm, new Student Fellow for our Cluster; Doctoral student at U TN; thesis topic: agricultural information
 
* Cluster's 2014 plan
 
** (1) Inventory of relevant ESIP capabilities
 
'''''Previous Action:''''' Bill will email request to esip-all re: any members who have collaborated or are collaborating with any USDA agencies.
 
** (2) Review of literature and other sources on external (to ESIP) work on climate effects on agriculture
 
*** Science literature (Reid et al.)
 
*** USDA agencies, CCPO (Bill et al.)
 
*** Other sources (e.g., state orgs., Library of Congress) (Nancy et al.)
 
** (3) Gap analysis (needs of LTAR) that ESIP can fill
 
'''''Previous Action:''''' Bill to follow up with Jeff McWhirter on RAMADDA. <== Decided to hold off a bit.

1st item: discussing possible shift in time of telecom due to schedule conflicts<br>
 
Doodle poll: Wednesday at 11 or Tuesday at 4  send out with 2 slots<br>
 
2nd item: discussing data projects and data archives NAL (Simon Liu)<br>
 
item 3: Introduction of  student fellow Reid Boehm, Doctoral student in Info Sci. at University of Tennessee, writing dissertation in agricultural information management<br>
 
item 4: collaborations with USDA from ESIP<br>
 
Purpose to find out what is going on outside as well as in- review of literature and other resources<br>
 
CCPO Bill Hohenstein- focus with LTAR<br>
 
1. Go through all the agencies and summarize what they are all doing in this area<br>
 
2. Nancy brought up last meeting other groups: commodity companies etc.<br>
 
3. Reid review of scientific literature<br>
 
useful review of the landscape of efforts
 
Leading to
 
Gap Analysis: Needs of LTAR and what ESIP can fill
 
 
 
Question from Erin about GEOSS task connection- another area to think about<br>
 
Also Brian Wee and Mark Parsons RDA - Wheat Interoperability Working Group
 
 
 
Previous action Chris Lynnes- How to engage with LTAR collaboratory area - with Earth Science Collaboratory- may not be ready yet. Perhaps get back with Mark Wahlbridge to find out about tools needs first
 
 
 
Nancy asked did you have any wiki page form for reviewing?<br>
 
Bill - this is more just typical review about what people are doing<br>
 
Bill added post-telecon: Let's put what we find out in [[Review of past and ongoing work on climate effects on agriculture]].
 
 
 
Talking about the summer meeting in Copper Mountain- Mark Wahlbridge spoke last summer, planning to meet again and speak with him again, narrowing down more needs that we can fill<br>
 
Also as a speaker: Simon Liu - preview of the archive plans - also Brad Doorn from HQ perspective<br>
 
Reid suggests For meeting have a concept map - to see gaps of information work<br>
 
Reid - action item to send example to cluster '''''DONE'''''
 
* Example from Reid's research:
 
[[File:Example from reid.png]]
 
* Example from ESIP social network:
 
[[File:Network map example esip social network.jpg]]
 
 
 
We will aim to have this review of projects and literature plus group map of concepts, plus focus on needs of LTAR
 
 
 
Nancy- another thing would be to expand who would be active in the group- perhaps by invitation- maybe outreaching to some of these other organizations<br>
 
Organizations in Colorado, others<br>
 
Bill- as we do the review we can keep that in mind - maybe regional for LTAR<br>
 
Colorado department of ag - drought monitoring may be a good place to look for participation
 
 
 
Look at particular local groups, universities, CUAHSI, connection to GEOSS<br>
 
Also if you can think of anybody from respective organization wants to participate
 
 
 
Post-telecon addition from Erin re: Possible connection for July meeting - [http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/06/us/next-phase-of-obamas-executive-push-climate-hubs.html?smid=tw-share&_r=1 1 of the 7 new Climate Hubs will be in Fort Collins, CO.]
 
 
 
Sending out the Doodle poll for 2 specific times for meeting
 
 
 
Meeting next month first week in March, day and time: TBD
