Philosophy
In the Earth and space sciences, as in other disciplines, ready and open access to the vast and growing collections of cross-disciplinary digital information is the key to understanding and responding to complex Earth system phenomena that influence human survival.
To that end, we have a shared responsibility to create and implement strategies to realise the full potential of digital information for present and future generations.
vision
We will achieve a major step forward in Earth and space science capability, knowledge, and usage throughout the world for the benefit of humanity by accelerating the adoption of modern, visionary practices for managing and sharing data, information, and services.

Challenging the “heroic” science funding paradigm
Do our reward systems recognise that making data and information easily accessible shifts work and responsibility from the user to the provider?

Activities - eGY in your workplace
1. Identify and undertake eGY-related activities2. Encourage others in your community to become active in issues of
modern data and information management3. Form an eGY Task Group or Committee4. Use 2007-2008 as a target date or milestone5. Consider creating a virtual observatory6. Report eGY developments and opportunities to your community.7. Access expertise through the eGY networks.8. Promote your work via eGY News, the website, and meetings.9. Use eGY to strengthen bids for funding.10. Organize meetings, workshops, and symposia11. Participate in international eGY events12. Consider outreach, education, and developing country needs
To support eGY …
• Sign the Declaration• Market and promote eGY• Publish news articles about eGY and its messages• Use the eGY logo and brand name to mark activities, events,
publications, communications, and so on• Join an eGY Working Group / create a new one• Serve on the International Committee• Identify new opportunities for eGY• Pass a resolution supporting eGY.• Attend conferences; help organise events.• Conferences 2007-2008: include an eGY windup event - celebrate

GEOSS
International cooperation and data sharing
Universal access to data and information
Timely and convenient access to data
Global, cross-disciplinary scope
Data preservation
Capacity building, especially in developing countries
Education, public outreach, information for decision making
embraces and extends IGY principles…
serves to
Facilitate, encourage, promote, inform, and inspire:
– Ready access to data and services (“e-Science for Geoscience”)
– Establishment of virtual observatories throughout the Earth and space sciences
– Responsible data stewardship

Declaration for a Geoscience Information Commons
“Knowledge is the common wealth of humanity”
Adama Samassekou, Convener of the UN World Summit on the Information Society
The principles on which eGY is based have been articulated by ICSU, the World Summit on the Information Society, CODATA, and other bodies. The principles are encapsulated in the eGY Declaration for a Geoscience Information Commons - a statement of aspirations and principles of data stewardship.
Declaration for a Geoscience Information Commons
PREAMBLEArticle 1: Data access
Earth system data and information should be made available electronically with interoperable approaches that facilitate open access.
Article 2: Data releaseOwners, custodians, and creators of Earth system data should work together to share their digital information with the world community, though in a manner that respects propriety requirements and security constraints.
Article 3: Data descriptionProviders and users of Earth system data and information should share descriptions of structure, content, and contexts to facilitate interoperability and the discovery of relationships within and between information resources.
Article 4: Data persistenceData and information about the Earth system should be preserved and sustained in forms that are both software and hardware independent so as to be openly accessible today and in the future.
Article 5: Data rescueEffort should be made to identify and rescue critical Earth system data and ensure persistent access to them.
Article 6: Common standards and cooperationStandards for interoperability should be identified, created, and implemented through international collaboration.
Article 7: Capability building Communities with advanced information technology and communications capabilities should contribute to developing such capabilities elsewhere to reduce the digital divide.
Article 8: Education and public outreachStudents, scientists, decision-makers, and the public should be informed about and be enabled to contribute to our understanding and management of the Earth system phenomena that influence human survival.
