We next talked about our two sessions at the Federation Meeting, in January
+
Agenda:   
 
 
1 - '''Earth Science Data Analytics 101''':
 
 
 
Purpose:  To ‘educate’ ESIP community on what Earth Science Data Analytics means, and provide exemplary use cases.
 
 
 
Cluster Goal:  Bring in speakers to provide their Data Analytics Use Cases to stir innovation juices that can generate ideas/techniques/collaborations/etc. that can facilitate/aid usage of data analytics
 
 
 
Draft Agenda:
 
 
 
- Introduction to Earth science data analytics – (15 min)
 
 
 
- 3 or 4 use case speakers (10-15 min each)  I have 2 already…any suggestions
 
 
 
- Current Data Analytics technologies useful in Earth science (15 min)
 
 
 
- Panel – Q&A (all speakers)
 
 
 
Excellent suggestions were made to ensure speakers targeted our interest in learning how they perform data analytics in their research.
 
 
 
 
 
2 - '''Earth Science Data Analytics 201''':
 
 
 
Purpose:  To scope a study that would meaningfully benefit the ESIP and broad community; Develop an outline for the study
 
 
 
Cluster Goal:  Discuss: Publish our findings; Generate a library of Data Analytic methodologies
 
 
 
Discussion and work breakout.  This is where we will further discuss and develop a more detailed outline for a paper that describes Earth science data analytics methodologies.  It seems the bulk of our research at this time would be gathering and characterizing use cases.  This lead to the possibility of creating an Earth science data analytics library of such methodologies. 
 
 
 
More to come.  '''Be a part of some ground breaking work'''
 
 
 
 
 
The following was provided to initiate discussion of such a paper:
 
 
 
1. Take what we learn, refine, and define about the different types of Data Analytics
 
 
 
- Descriptive Analytics
 
- Diagnostic Analytics
 
- Discoveritive Analytics
 
- Predictive Analytics
 
- Prescriptive Analytics
 
  
2. Associate exemplary Earth science use cases to each type
+
1. Review ESDA Use Case provided in Google Doc. 
  
3. Associate Data Analytics techniques/tools to each type
+
2. Discuss ESIP Summer Meeting theme
  
4. Associate user categories to each type
+
3. Open Mic
  
5. Describe skills and expertise needed for each type
 
  
- Currently, we talk about our expertise and experience, but they seldom seem to connect to each other
+
===Actions:===
  
- This will help us, the industry, and hopefully, educators, focus their understanding and interests regarding Earth Science Data Analytics.

REMINDER: AGU sessions that pertain to Data Analytics:
+
Ethan M, Robert C, Tiffany M, Steve K - Each person enter up to 2 ESDA use cases into the Google Doc (prototypes entries) to determine if the information we are gathering per project will lead us to be able to categorize the data analytics being utilized. Due Friday, February 13.

Agenda:

1. Discuss Use Case Information Needed.

Continuing our face to face at ESIP, we decided to build a library of Earth science data analytics use cases, but first needed to ensure the information requested was clear and appropriate. I created a Google Spreadsheet open for review and comments. Besides the folks who, at the face-to-face, signed up to spend a little time to review and provide inputs on the spreadsheet, if others wish to be involved in editing, please send me an e-mail.

2. Discuss ESIP Summer Meeting theme

Earth Science Data Analytics. Let’s continue the discussion started in January to help the meeting organizers with gathering speakers, themes orientation for the rest of the Federation, etc. I will know more before Thursday.

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
