External Relations
From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
Subgroup Members:
- Chris Lenhardt
- Stefan Falke
Issues to Be Addressed:
- Interfacing with other organizations – national & international (AGU, EGY, GEO, CEOS, ISRSE, others?) – how do we support our efforts in this? ESIP ambassadors; distinctions between wearing multiple hats; collaborations
- Map relationships across organizations; what’s the landscape (concept map development tool)
- Training for and Engagement of Next Generation of Data Managers – academic discipline; stewardship
Discussion:
Should we interface? Yes! The listed group represents a good start. But, these should not be the universe - where are the smaller, lesser known organizations (e.g. less formally strucutred groups like the EPA Data Summit)
