Interoperability and Technology

Revision as of 08:04, November 15, 2023

Welcome to the Information Technology and Interoperability Committee Wiki Committee Chair: Dave Blodgett

Get Involved

The IT&I committee provides a venue for a monthly community webinar on current Information Technology and Interoperability topics. In early years, the webinar series was known as the "IT&I Rants and Raves" a title the committee is bringing back starting in 2023.

Rants and Raves are designed to get smart people to share insightful, provocative views of what's great and what's not about technology and interoperability in modern Earth science. We welcome, high energy talks on personal pet peeves: topics that you can't believe in this day and age we're still dealing with, or solutions that you can't believe that in this day and age more people aren't using.

Upcoming meetings 3pm ET (calendar)

To be a leader in promoting the collection, stewardship and use of Earth science data, information and knowledge that are responsive to societal needs.

Information Technology and Interoperability Committee

The Information Technology and Interoperability Committee of the ESIP Federation is a standing committee created to:

ensure that data, information and services can be readily exchanged and integrated to improve Earth science data, information, products and services; and
encourage the use of standards and protocols relevant to interoperability;
encourage the use of best information technology practices to ensure the quality, usability and breadth of standards and protocols relevant to interoperability.

-Persistent Unique Well Identifiers: Why does California need well IDs?
-Groundwater is a critical resource for farms, urban and rural communities, and ecosystems in California, supplying approximately 40 percent of California's total water supply in average water years, and in some regions of the state, up to 60 percent in dry years. Regardless of water year type – some communities rely entirely on groundwater for drinking water supplies year-round. However, California lacks a uniform well identification system, which has real impacts on those who manage and depend upon groundwater. Clearly identifying wells, both existing and newly constructed, is vital to maintaining a statewide well inventory that can be more easily monitored to ensure the wellbeing of people, the environment, and the economy, while supporting the sustainable use of groundwater. A uniform well ID program has not yet been accomplished at a scale like California, but it is achievable, as evidenced by great successes in other states. Learn more about why a well ID program will be so important to tackle in California and offer your thoughts about how to untangle some of the particularly thorny technical challenges.
