Notes:

Thank you all for attending. Making good progress...

At this telecon, we discussed the Use Case Google Doc that we generated from our Use Case Google Spreadsheet, depicting the Use Case template in text form, for population. The document also contains it's first Use Case. The template consists of:

  • Items 'a' through 'c' that provides Use Case identifying information
  • Items 'd' through 'f' that describes the data analytics being used and technical reasons for needing the used data analytics
  • Items 'g' through 'l' that, along with 'd', 'e', and 'f', allow us to categorize the Use Cases for further analysis

Sources for additional Use Cases were provided:

See Actions below…


Next we discussed the possibility of sponsoring a data analytics workshop at the summer meeting. Recapping some questions from our March telecon:

  • Who is our audience? ESIP technologists, who, once hearing problem/needs of at a analytics users, can go solve it.
  • Who are our experts? Suggestions made: Power users, who deal with lots of distributed heterogeneous data; Decision makers who can express what their needs; Google; Chris Mattmann (already in the Federation); Larrabee Strow (AIRS Scientist); of course, Peter Fox

At this telecon, potential themes focused one or more of the following:

  • Applying analytics to environmental issues
  • The Progression of data analytics tool capabilities currently available to potential capabilities that will be needed
  • Matching data analytics needs with available tools
