Agenda:

1. Discuss Use Case Information Needed Template. Of the template information requested, what do we keep, and what do we not. Please take a look at the use cases provided to see how well the information requested can be accommodated.

2. Discuss next ESIP Meeting theme: Earth Science Data Analytics. .

3. Open Mic

Presentations:

None, this time. Worked off Google Doc: Use Case Information: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/108glVB8Rni8M47e5G1_oZ6g1q5AOxzdTbC_P2WrEt6o/edit#gid=0

Notes:

Thank you all for attending.

Today, agenda topic number 1 captured the bulk of time during our telecon. We had a very good discussion describing and discussing the information we should pursue when collecting Earth Science Data Analytics use cases. We examined/compared the categories that we had come up with and the categories utilize by the NIST Big Data Use Case gathering effort (see: http://bigdatawg.nist.gov/usecases.php). By consolidating the categories, we acknowledged that we may be asking for more information that is available in our use cases, but that is OK as we learn. It was also noted that the NIST list addressed categories valuable for Big Data utilization use cases, thus some NIST categories amy not apply to ESDSA use cases. Again]n, we'll give it try. Steve consolidated categories and ESDA group comments in the above mentioned Google Doc. See action.

We did not get a chance to talk much about Earth Science Data Analytics as a potential theme for the summer's ESIP meeting. See action.

Post telecon note: At Monday's Visioneer meeting, which I suggest attending if you are interested in being part of forward looking ESIP activities and direction, Summer meeting logistics was discussed, theme did not get addressed. So, I have nothing to report on that, at this time

4. Open Mic

Actions:

Steve - Define the candidate information to acquire for our use cases, based on the goals (above) for collecting the use cases
