How do we in the Earth & Space Sciences
• Find out who is doing what?
• Share experience and expertise
• Coordinate activities
• Reduce replication of effort
• Promote common practices (standards)
• Stimulate wider participation
• Reduce the digital divide
• Raise awareness about the need for modern, professional data stewardship
• Educate; influence decision makers
• Inspire public interest
eGY Embrace and extend IGY principles …
International cooperation and data sharing
Global, cross-disciplinary scope
Universal, open access to data
Timely and convenient access to data
Data preservation
Capacity building, especially in dev. countries
Education and public outreach
Themes
Data access
Data discovery
Data release
Data preservation
Data rescue
Outreach & Education
Capacity building
WG: Virtual Observatories
WG: Best Practice
WG: Data Rescue
WG: E/PO
WG: Data Integration and Knowledge Discovery
.
The “heroic” science funding paradigm
Role
Provide an international, cooperative environment to
– inspire
– facilitate
– encourage
– promote
– inform
Deliverables
