LEARNING APPROACHES FOR DATA MANAGEMENT, I00S AND GEOSS
Citation:
LYON, J. G. LEARNING APPROACHES FOR DATA MANAGEMENT, I00S AND GEOSS. Presented at Oceans 2005 Symposium MTS/IEEE, Washington, DC, September 09 - 19, 2005.
Impact/Purpose:
The overall objective of this task is to provide the Agency with improved science guidance and strategies for more effective science management and administration.
Description:
For approximately two years, US national Agencies, other Nations and international groups have worked on delivering plans to shape a Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS). The goals and objectives have been to pool observations, information, models and decision support tools to address nine areas that would benefit society. In some ways, this approach is different from other efforts such as WMO, IGOS-P, IOOS, GMES, and others. In some ways it is the same. The joy of this work is being able to borrow with attribution excellent ideas from a variety of other efforts. In particular, the Data Management and Communications (DMAC) efforts of IOOS have been helpful and full of good practices that have shaped the thinking of the US Interagency Group on Earth Observations and the authorship of the US Strategic Plan for Integrated Earth Observations and Reference Documents. Notably, one of the identified early outcomes of the US work on GEOSS is that of Data Management. The Federal Enterprise Architecture and DMAC have been valuable in shaping these documents and others, and some of capabilities that have been employed are presented in the talk.
