Discovery Hack-a-thon (Hook, Chris)

Metadata casting for data services and events (Brian)

  • This was not covered...

Synergy, spinoffs from EarthCube Charrette (Chris)

User Intent model (Discussion with Microsoft*)

  • Sameer from Microsoft discussed "user intent modeling" at the charette
  • Is there something to the concept of "user intent"?
  • Users have to know about the Earth Science data search engine before they can use (must be found from Google/Bing)

Discussion of role of Discovery services in ESC and EarthCube

  • EarthCube not yet talking technologies, mostly process...
  • We should jump in again once EarthCube is ready for implementation

EarthCube Discovery Data Mining and Access session at ESIP

What's next for DCPs?

DCP-5: Valids and Restrictions for Query Elements

  • http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/DCP-5
  • This is going to be further revised using the OpenSearch parameters extension
  • Updates coming soon!
  • Side Topic:
    • We need to start considering sustainability of this cluster
    • We also need to start being more aggressive about deciding and implementing the DCPs
    • Some may be concerned without how much influence they should have on DCP decisions
    • Best Practice: Not opposed should equal a yes! (Though, if you can't understand a proposal or why its needed, then it may not be good!)
