== Main objective ==

[http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Summer_2011_Meeting Prepare for the Summer 2011 ESIP Fed meeting]

== Theme Idea for the Summer meeting ==
Data/Information Quality

== Topics ==

*Data quality provided vs. data quality needed (fitness-for-purpose). Solicit and present data quality needs for climate change, air quality, disaster management
*Pixel quality vs. product quality
*Validation issues. What is Level 3 data validation? What is Level 3 data quality?
*Best practices in different communities addressing data quality, e.g., SST error budget
*Existing IQ frameworks and methodologies (Data View)
*Quality ontology 
*Quality provenance
*Quality harmonization
*Interaction with QA4EO and other international entities dealing with data quality for earth observations

== Breakout sessions ==
*IQ cluster (terminology, standardization, IQ framework, IQ4EO white paper preparation)
*Semantic web cluster (to discuss data quality ontology)
*Air quality cluster

== Discussions ==
Tuning the summer meeting tangible objectives:
*White paper(s). Formulate and consistently present user requirements for data quality
*...

Suggested speakers:
* Eloquent representative from a user community who present a compelling story for data quality specific to her/his community. Potential candidates: Jim Hansen for Climate change; Caspar Ammann from UCAR 
* Programmatic view  - Martha?
* Data provider response - Wentz?

Suggested topics:
* Summarize presentations from the last AGU quality and uncertainty related sessions. 
* Select just few communities to start with - cannot work with too many before and at the meeting
* Involve educators as a specific community 

Suggested workshops:
*Present accomplishments in data quality area by various ACCESS and ESTO projects.
*Do actual data quality framework development based on inputs (if any) from the IQ cluster members
