    • Breakout sessions – how many?
    • Identify reps of various research and application communities for:
      • their understanding and requirements for quality

Notes

  • Peter G.: represents an OMB view on the "Influential" aspect Information Quality. Quoting NOAA Information Quality guidelines: "Influential information means information the agency reasonably can determine will have or does have a clear and substantial impact on important public policies or private sector decisions."
  • Bruce B: suggested to address how to address probability uncertainty in climate change forecast and how it affects risk management.
  • Joanne N. volunteered to represent the land community
  • Siri-Jodha: asked if we are limiting ourselves to Remote Sensing (RS) data. Greg's answer: "yes".
  • Bruce B: suggested to use the nine GEOSS Societal Benefit Areas (SBAs): Agriculture, Biodiversity, Climate, Disasters, Ecosystems, Energy, Health, Water, and Weather to represent broad communities (to start with).
  • Hook H.: Quality Taxonomy as a start for Data Quality ontology exercise at the Summer meeting.
  • Siri-Jodha and Ted H. discussed whether the ISO quality standard can be used now.
  • Siri-Jodha has previously extracted ISO quality definitions - the doc is on IQ page under References--> IQ Standards
  • Greg L: is Friday good for this telecon? Answers: JPL has every other Friday off - need to figure out which Friday to choose :-)

Action Items

  • All: by Apr 1 identify potential speakers
  • All: identify main D&IQ topics for the summer meeting
  • All: reach out to different communities and identify reps.
  • Greg will contact Peter Cornillon for SST, Ken K. and Ed A for Ocean Color
  • Hook and Greg: setup a page for collecting and aliasing quality-related terms
