ESC Implementation Strategies
Important Feedback and Notes
- NSF Earth Cube looks a lot like ESC
- But other agencies (i.e., federal employees) have difficulty directly working with NSF
- Frank (NASA): Is 5-7 Year time frame too long?
- Chris: Progress and benefits will be incremental over that time
- Eric (NOAA): Some parts of ESC are pretty far along, e.g., virtual observatories, space data
- Chris: Yes, these parts represent Prior Art in some cases, components that should be leveraged or incorporated in other cases
- Kevin: primary qualities - develop trust, how do you share trust? (good question)
- Chris M.: How do you incentivize participation? Lots of portals being developed, scope the collaboratory within its funding.
- DataNet: how does data extend beyond the grant. Now: how does the software extend beyond the grant? Open source, etc.?
- Paulo: Earth Science Domain Scenario for collaboratory. Does the infrastructure have to be Earth Science specific? Is funding more available to a more general approach (such as OCI)?
- Chris: The stakeholders are domain specific, which is directly tied to the funding.
