From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)

ESIP ESDA Collaboration Area Strategic Plan 2016

ESIP Vision

To be a leader in promoting the development, implementation, and deployment of Earth science data analytics tools/techniques that facilitate gleaning knowledge from Earth science data and information.

2015-2020 Strategic Plan Goals

  • Educate ESIP members on the significance and future development growth of Data Analytics
  • Compile and categorize existing ESDA tools/techniques according to ESDA defined types and goals
  • Provide a comprehensive gap analysis between ESDA needs and available tools/techniques
  • Create a path for Information technologists to develop needed, but unavailable, ESDA tools/techniques that increase the use and value of Earth science data and information
  • Seek graduate data analytics/ Data Science student internship opportunities

Collaboration Area Plan

Collaboration Area Objective:

  • Provide a forum for ‘Academic’ discussions that allow ESIP members to be better educated and on the same page in understanding the various aspects of Data Analytics
  • Bring in guest speakers to describe overviews of external efforts and further teach us about the broader use of Data Analytics.
  • Perform activities that:
-- Compile use cases generated from specific community needs to cross analyze heterogeneous data (could be ESIP members or external)
-- Compile experience sources on the use of analytics tools, in particular, to satisfy the needs of the above data users (also, could be ESIP members or external)
-- Examine gaps between needs and expertise
-- Document the specific data analytics expertise needed in above collaborations
  • Seek graduate data analytics/ Data Science student internship opportunities


Things we may do to fulfill our objectives:

Things our collaboration area needs to deliver our objectives?

(e.g. Partnerships, in-kind support, staff support)


How will we know we are on the right track?

How will others know what we are doing in & out of ESIP?

Cross-collaboration area connections

(Identify other areas that you consider cross collaboration. Are there things that you need us to provide in support the cross collaboration?)</nowiki>
