Goals
The water information domain landscape is evolving: How do we organize the community to help create interoperable ways of accessing and disseminating data - designed to provide information for decision-making - built as a system-of-systems designed to integrate data and observations from numerous government and non-government sources?

- -Informatics approaches (e.g., standards “grid”; ontology software, semantic web, integration applications etc)
- -Water data availability
- Review areas of active collaboration
- How do we coordinate and build community?
- Inform GEOSS discussion related to water and climate change?
Next Steps
