2011 Rant and Raves Webinar Series and Telecon Information

""Rants and Raves Webinar 2011 Series - March 02 at 02:00 PM EST""

As part of its Rants and Raves Webinar series, ESIP IT&I presents a talk by Dr. Brand Neimann.

Title: Build an ESIP Data.gov and the Atlas of Science in the Cloud

Short Abstract: During a recent FESIP Visualization Telecon (November 8, 2010), I suggested that ESIP build a Semantic Web application for Data.gov and that I would like to help and show that for the Winter Meeting Poster Session on January 4, 2011. This presentation shows how the ESIP Drupal Web Site and Media Wiki content can be turned into a Data.gov database application using Gov 2.0 cloud platform tools that have been used in a series of Data Science Products.

Rants and Raves Webinar 2011 Series Kickoff - February 02 at 02:00 PM EST

The ESIP Information Technology and Interoperability Committee continues its Rants and Raves Webinar series. The Rants and Raves Webinar provides a platform to any ESIP member to present any Information Technology and Interoperability related issues, seek suggestions/ideas or present cool new technology useful to the ESIP community. Dr. Kuo will present a proposal for a data analysis environment based on his perspective as a practicing scientist.

Improving Interoperability and Science Productivity: Proposal for A Data Analysis Environment

By Dr. Kwo-sen Kuo, Principal Scientist at Caelum Research Corp.

There is currently a serious lack of Earth science data interoperability. Combining/Fusing data products even from the same instrument, say MODIS, (but for different science disciplines, such as atmosphere, ocean, land, etc.) is often a laborious undertaking, let alone data from different instruments or platforms. A Data Analysis Environment is therefore proposed to make data fusion easier for the scientist users to improve data interoperability and, in turn, science productivity. Motivations, requirements, and envisioned functionalities of the environment will be discussed at this meeting.
