Notes

In attendance: Emily Law, Brenda Jones, Call-in User_2, Dave Jones, Maggi Glasscoe, Sean Barberie

Emily leading off: Agenda, introduce me Next agenda item: Maggie’s data, how can we engage a broader set of users?

Dave: Data sources for those within the disaster lifecycle cluster

Static? Updated?

Try to display these in the data sharing and collaborative environment

Data sharing

Credentials

Select a few administrators who can be trained on how to use the platform and then begin testing.

Emily: Quality determination criteria. How can we determine when the data is ready for prime time?

Dave: An ESIP seal of approval or quality stamp would be a boon to ESIP.

Items: timeliness of the data, Satellite, derived, model output, updated from field, UAV data?

Sean: for our purposes, do we have a preferred data format?

Dave: KML, webmapservices, JSON, etc. All possible.

Maggie: preferred ArcGIS online, AGOL (fema geoportal), so shapefiles are preferred by gov agencies. KML good for people in the field.

Emily: even though a product may not be in the format that we find most useful, maybe we can use a conversion tool land have our preferred product available.

Emily: are we going to be able to put up information for end users soon?

Maggie: Yes, napa e-Decider products are ready to start. Possibly a google docs.

Sean will be uploading this file to google docs and sharing with the group

Dave: working with the data will give us some idea of what is and isn’t useful.

Next agenda item: walk though disaster lifecycle cluster Strategic Plan for 2015:

ESIP Goal 1: increase the use and value of Earth science data and information

Task: Identify, promote and showcase trusted authoritative data sources/products for decision making across all member organizations.
