Value of repo depends on a combination of their activities, and maturity. e.g.,.
- value should go up with higher levels, but how to quantify is difficult
- NASA L1-L4 levels.
Users: a similar degree of differences between their expectations/needs, and the value they might assign (or could be assigned to them)
Comments:
- when companies do ROI, it is based on cost-to-produce, and they anticipate an amount in return. Ours: it costs $x to produce, and we give it all away. so no value is really known.
- Universities when economic impact for their existence: what methodology do they use?
- studies on NSDES - valuation of satellite data (economist with UCAR) - perhaps NASA has some of these also.
