"Research Priorities for the Science Data Enterprise"
Workshop invitation, goals
Proposed text:
"The ESIP Federation, with support from the Moore Foundation, LASP?, DataONE, the Board on Research Data and Information and the National Consortium for Data Science, is convening a one-day workshop to scope a study that would be done by the National Research Council in 2014-2015 on Research Priorities for Scientific Data Infrastructure. The workshop seeks to:
- Define the primary emphases of an Academy study (domains, practice, priorities for research and funding, infrastructure)
- Identify some of the grand challenges in scientific data infrastructure
- Articulate why a study of these issues is needed now
- Define the stakeholders of the study
- Determine the best approach and produce a roadmap for moving forward with an Academy study, beginning later in 2014.
The results of the workshop will be documented in a formal report, including highlights of key inputs from workshop participants and consensus recommendations made by its participants. The workshop report would be presented to the NRC’s Board on Research Data and Information and made available broadly throughout the Earth and environmental science community, and beyond.
The workshop will be held on January 8, 2014 in Washington, DC and will bring together distinguished participants, representing broad stakeholder interests and thought leaders in the field of data science and supporting infrastructure. The workshop will be facilitiated by William Michener, University of New Mexico Libraries and PI, DataONE."
