ESC 2011 11 21
From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
Earth Science Collaboratory Telecon - 21 Nov 2011
Plan for ESC Charrette
Start off with superset of topics, then downselect... Start off with topics
Goals for the Charrette
o Engage more active workers on the ESC o Use cases /scenarios as to how people would interact with the collaboratory (e.g., log onto svc, create expmnt, publish to others, use identifier for experiment, all contextual info then available for the experiment; can obtain code, parameters o What are the main challenges, what should we focus on, what is our roadmap? Work on planning... o If we already have challenges, then brainstorm ideas and solutions to challenges. o What difference will ESC make to individual scientists? o What is out there that we can leverage? Technologies we could use? (Technical)
Candidate Topics
- Sociological
- Gamification?
- Well-structured robust circles of sharing (compare models for sharing)
- Programmatic
- How does ESC work with / fit with EarthCube? (talk w/P. Fox).
- Monitor EAGER awards
- Monitor EarthCube site
- Invite the movers
- How do we engage multiple agencies to participate? How to set up a multi-agency steering committee? (e.g. NOAA EDM meeting, USGS CDI, NASA ESDSWG, invite to participate)
- How does ESC work with / fit with EarthCube? (talk w/P. Fox).
- Technical
- User Stories
Breakouts?
- Single group vs. heterogeneous groups vs. groups all covering same group of topics
- Good to hear diversity of comments, but can get more done in splinters
Plan for Four Pronged Approach to ESC
Candidate Agenda Items
- Defining a mode for coordinating the four areas (sociological, technical, programmatic and user stories)
- Identify 1-2 most important challenges in each area
- Brainstorm approaches to above challenges
- Recruit "champions" for each area (i.e., someone to keep momentum going)
