  •  Statement by Emily Law, President of the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP Federation) 

     
    I would like to first thank the chair of this meeting and I would like to express our thanks to our Russian hosts, Roscosmos and Roshydromet, for their kind hospitality and this wonderful meeting venue here in St. Petersburg. 

     

    The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners, known as ESIP, seeds innovation, develops best practices and advances technologies across broad-based, distributed communities of science, data and information technology practitioners. ESIP’s status as a leading United States-based collaboration network and neutral convener has made it the go-to place to forge consensus on emerging data-related topics. ESIP became a...

    Statement by Peter Fox, President of the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP Federation)

    Thank you, and good morning.

    The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners, known as the ESIP Federation, seeds innovation, develops best practices and advances technologies across broad-based, distributed communities of science, data and information technology practitioners. The ESIP Federation’s status as a leading United States-based collaboration network and neutral convener has made it the go-to place to forge consensus on emerging data-related topics.

    The ESIP Federation was created by NASA in 1998 in response to a recommendation from the National Research Council, and it has a history of leadership and service to...

  • Abstract:

    The mission of the Data Stewardship Committee is to assist ESIP to continue its leadership role in promoting the collection, stewardship, and use of Earth science data, information, and knowledge that are responsive to societal needs.  As such, the Data Stewardship Committee:

    1. Develops and fosters practices and standards that ensure continued and reliable information content, quality, access to, and usability of Earth system science data for as long as they are deemed to be of value.
    2. Facilitates the long-term preservation, stewardship, curation, and access of/to Earth system science data and information.
    3. Advances the development of data science as a professional discipline that adds value and increases the use of Earth system science...

    Executive Summary

    Our world is rich with scientific data.  These data hold great potential for progress in science, innovation, the economy, and broader society.  

    And yet, much of that potential lies unrealized due in large part to insufficient planning, management and resources. Scientific data are lost, inaccessible, unreadable, too big to handle, undocumented, and more.  Our national scientific data enterprise is evolving and maturing in an uncoordinated fashion. As data volumes increase exponentially—along with complexities and sources—the...

  • Abstract:

    A critical part of effective Earth science data and information system interoperability involves collaboration across geographically and temporally distributed communities. The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) is a broad-based, distributed community of science, data and information technology practitioners from across science domains, economic sectors and the data lifecycle. ESIP’s open, participatory structure provides a melting pot for coordinating around common areas of interest, experimenting on innovative ideas and capturing and finding best practices and lessons learned from across the network. Since much of ESIP’s work is distributed, the Foundation for Earth Science was established as a non-profit home for...

  • The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP Federation) is a consortium of more than 130 organizations that collect, interpret and develop applications for Earth observation information. It contains NASA, NOAA and USGS data centers, research universities, government research laboratories, supercomputing facilities, education resource providers, information technology innovators, nonprofit organizations and commercial enterprises. Despite the variety of organizations constituting the ESIP Federation, they are bound by the following common strategic goals [ESIP Federation Strategic Plan (2009-2013), January 30, 2009]:

    1. Increase the use and value of Earth science data and information.
    2. Act as a facilitating, coordinating and...
