• A National Earth Science Information framework
  should be
• distributed
• interoperable
• uses open source standards and common protocols
• respects and acknowledges data ownership
• fosters communities of practice to grow and
• facilitates development of new web services and
  clients
• Users access a science data catalog to discover
  available geoscience data by location, from all
  federal and state holdings
• User can select and acquire data for input into
  software applications to achieve their goals
  applications may be on the web, or hosted locally
• The original data source would be credited with
  the download

• VICTORY MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

8
Objectives of NESIS Community

• Create a community of practice that would
• enable science through informatics
• engage other communities (science domains and
  other informatics groups)
• work to be more effective science information
  providers
• speak with a united voice
• work toward long-term sustainability of NESIS
• Communities of practice are groups of people who
  share a concern or a passion for something they
  do and learn how to do it better as they interact
  regularly

9
To Bring the Community Together to Effectively
Create a NESIS We Must

• Generate an organizational structure that is
  appropriate to the objectives and character of
  the NESIS community

10
Action Items

• Form a task force to engage successful efforts
  such as CUAHSI, IRIS, and JOI in discussions on
  the appropriate organizational model
• Identify additional stake holders as needed
• Pass along proposed governance structure to
  community for review (through WIKI initially on
  geoinformatics.info), approval, and
  implementation through
• Establish the science drivers for the effort
  (WIKI driven)
• Immediate opportunities for collaboration

11
HOW DO WE GET STARTED

• Form task force
• Work on what we can now
• Deal with existing break outs with this structure
• Point data system attributed for location and
  time
• Group on names and TLA, MFLI, NMLEA
• YAML
• What else?

12
Task Force

• Consult John Wilson at New Mexico Tech for CUAHSI
  experience
• Consult with David Simpson for IRIS
• Consult with JOI representative
• Walt Snyder
• Doug Walker
• John Alroy
• Linda Gundersen
• Lee Allison

13
Science Drivers Group

• Frank Spear
• Michael Gurnis
• Hubert Staudigel
• Emi Ito
• Maureen OLeary

14
Immediate Opportunities

• Steve Richard
• Sri Vinay
• Doug Fils
• Allister Rees
• Chaitan Baru
• Hassan Babaie
• Sky Bristol
• David Maidment

• Identify common needs
• Build test beds
• Evaluate interoperability
• Foster collaboration
• Define the attributes NESIS

18
The community of informatics providers and
scientists whose aim is to enable transformative
science across the earth and natural sciences by

• Fostering communcation and collaboration
• Sharing resources and expertise
• Enabling interoperability
• Sustaining service to the community over the
  long haul

19
For Public Consumption
20
Transformative Science Goals

• Domain Specific
• Transcending domains
• Can be based in part in the Science Magazines top
  125

21
What are the next steps

• Get outside facilitator to help the process to
  move along.
• recognize this workshop was targeted to the
  NSF-EAR community but we see our interactions
  with the larger ESSI community
