Interoperability and Technology/Tech Dive Webinar Series
Rants and Raves Webinar Series
An activity of the ESIP IT&I Committee.
TBD (Jan/Feb): Bob Arko on Linked Data
3 Dec 2015: Rebecca Fowler with a pre-AGU talk on scientific communication
Note: Not regular date/time -- first Thursday of December at 2pm ET.
12 Nov 2015: TBD
13 Oct 2015: Raj Pandya on AGU's Thriving Earth Exchange and Sharing Solutions
Note: This webinar postponed from originally scheduled time
New Time: 13 October (Tuesday) at 11am MT / 1pm ET
The Thriving Earth Exchange is a network and platform that connects community leaders, sponsors, and scientists and helps them combine science and local knowledge to solve on-the-ground challenges related to natural hazards, natural resources, and climate change. I’ll talk about the general principles on which we are building TEX and describe the basic modules that are part of the TEX. Drawing on the lessons learned from our pilots, all talk about how we are developing modules and launching new projects with several partners. I’ll describe a range of projects – from a community monitoring effort in Denver to a Pamiri Mountain project to integrate climate projections into traditional calendars. I’ll introduce our nascent “share” module, and describe our partnership with Amazon Web Services to move prototype community-based solutions to the cloud to enhance their adaptability. And, just to live up to the name, I’ll frame it all around a small rant about the loading-dock model of science and a rave about more participatory approaches.

Abstract
"Catalog-driven, reproducible workflows for ocean science: Comparing sea level forecasts along the US Coastline"
Rich Signell
Filipe Fernandes
The USGS Integrated Ocean Observing System (US-IOOS) requires that data providers use standard web services (OPeNDAP+CF, OGC WMS, OGC SOS) for distributing model products and insitu observations. The services are captured in ISO metadata records and searchable via standard catalog services (OGC CSW).
This presentation will demonstrate how to use this system in a reproducible Jupyter Notebook, discovering, accessing and using model and observed water levels along the US Coastline, using a free python environment that can be installed on Mac, Windows and Linux in less than 10 minutes.
11 June 2015: NDS Labs, Matt Turk
Matt is a member of the NDS Labs technical advisory committee and will present NDS Labs as a platform for exploring data services -- enabling the separation of data and its representation, and how NDS Labs is functioning as an emerging platform for such separation.
