By Nancy J. Hoebelheinrich, Knowledge Motifs LLC, USA

Overview – what’s to be covered

• Who / what is ESIP& how is work done

• Past & present activities / products of clusters / communities in these areas

– Data & Informatics

– Education & Outreach

• Current Collaborators

• Possible synergies?

Umm… who?? Or what??

Foundation of Earth Science Partners or ESIP Federation

A brief history

ESIP Organizational Structure

• Membership Types

• Type 1

• Type 2

• Type 3

• Associate Membership

• Membership not necessary to participate!

ESIP Organizational Structure

• Membership Types

• How is work done?

• Products & Services Testbed

• Data stewardship committee

• Semantic web cluster

• Data Management Short Course (cluster?)

Is a knowledge network for science data and technology practitioners, i.e., people who are building components for a science data infrastructure.

The ESIP Federation…

People of ESIP and the ESIP Communities They Connect To

Committees

Working Groups

Clusters

People

Are community-driven, highly participatory and open to science data and technology practitioners from across the data value chain.

ESIP Members

Some partners are networks themselves Unidata, DataOne, NEON, US-GIN*, Data Conservancy*, National Phenology Network, USGS Community for Data Integration* AGU Earth and Space Science Informatics (ESSI) Group on Earth Observations (GEO) NASA, NOAA, EPA

ESIP Partners by Type

Type I (Data Centers)

Type III (Application Developers)

Type II (Researchers) Type IV (Sponsors)

Supports science through discipline neutral IT collaboration and partner implementation. Using community consensus, the ESIP Federation addresses informatics, science, technology and governance topics through its many formal and informal groups.

A few definitions from ESIP POV

• Data & Informatics

– collaborative activities in data preservation and stewardship, information quality, data products and services, discovery, cloud computing, and semantic web.

Data Stewardship

• Provenance Context & Content Standard

• Data Stewardship Principles

• Data Citation Guidelines

• Identifiers for Data objects

• Next … Identifiers for Researchers???

Data Informatics

• Ontologies • SWEET

• Data Quality

A few definitions from ESIP POV

• Education & Outreach

– DM short course

Associated activities / organizations

• DataOne

• DataConservancy

• NSF’s Earth Cube

• SCIence Data Infrastructure for Preservation’s focus upon Earth Science data (SCIDIP-ES)?

• Digital Curation Centre in the UK?
