Interoperability and Technology
Get Involved
The committee provides a venue for a monthly community webinar on current Information Technology and Interoperability topics. In early years, the webinar series was known as the "IT&I Rants and Raves" a title the committee is bringing back starting in 2023.
Rants and Raves are designed to get smart people to share insightful, provocative views of what's great and what's not about technology and interoperability in modern Earth science. We welcome, high energy talks on personal pet peeves: topics that you can't believe in this day and age we're still dealing with, or solutions that you can't believe that in this day and age more people aren't using.

April 13th: Tom Kralidis - Evolution of open source geospatial python.
Free and Open Source Software in the Geospatial ecosystems (i.e. FOSS4G) play a key role in geospatial systems and services. Python has become the lingua franca for scientific and geospatial software and tooling. This rant and rave will provide an overview of the evolution of FOSS4G and Python, focusing on popular projects in support of Open Standards.

ESIP Vision
To be a leader in promoting the collection, stewardship and use of Earth science data, information and knowledge that are responsive to societal needs.
Information Technology and Interoperability Committee
The Information Technology and Interoperability Committee of the ESIP Federation is a standing committee created to:
- ensure that data, information and services can be readily exchanged and integrated to improve Earth science data, information, products and services; and
- encourage the use of standards and protocols relevant to interoperability;
- encourage the use of best information technology practices to ensure the quality, usability and breadth of standards and protocols relevant to interoperability.
