Revision as of 14:26, November 21, 2013
As the workshop in January will be closed, in order to get community input we will create a forum.
Forum goals: inform the community, gather input.
Part 1, purpose for the forum
ESIP believes that a high level coordinated vision and plan for scientific data is needed...
What we are trying to accomplish.
The elevator speech - where did that end up???

Part 2, Questions for the community
How should these questions dovetail with our workshop planning? NO questions for workshop, so we don't need to coordinate.
Straw questions
- What is your vision for the future regarding scientific data? Please be bold and include fanciful, idealistic, lofty, and even utopian ideas.
- What do you think should be the scope of the study?
- Given that either extreme of depth or breadth is of less general use, what exactly should we target?
- Earth Science only or broader? For example, does it make sense to start "small" in the Earth Sciences and then generalize? Or, as data management problems across all domains are basically similar, should we start with the more general and perhaps go into greater detail later?
- Data? Software? Methodologies?
- What would be metrics for assessing study success?
- An NRC data study is risky because the topic is extremely broad, the community of data users is vast and heterogenous (and can include commercial interests), and the outcome will not be a focused mission, facility, or research initiative. How should that risk be managed?
*Erin to work w/ Google form and doc, and report back regarding structuring the questions.
