The Proposed Data and Information Service, some key issues, and charge to the breakout groups (Microsoft PowerPoint, 1.9 MB) -- Mark Parsons
Breakout sessions, Part I:
1. What standards should IPY adopt and what are appropriate methods to encourage
adoption—include metadata, doc., data formats, transfer protocols, etc.
Session leader: Paul Cooper (Microsoft PowerPoint,
36 KB)
2. Managed access to data, especially social data, including consideration
of working with CODATA on their Global Information Commons for Science initiative.
Session leader: Paul Uhlir
(Microsoft PowerPoint 36 KB)
3. Determining archives and “affinity centers”, relationships to
the other Geoscience Years.
Session leader: Vladimir Papitashvili
Breakout sessions, Part II:
1. Methods for data discovery—how might a portal work.
Session leader: Paul Berkman (Microsoft PowerPoint 264 KB)
2. Data and publication submission processes—carrots and sticks.
Session leader: Jim Moore (Microsoft PowerPoint 48 KB)
3. Semantics — ontologies, taxonomies, and language issues.
Session leader: Heather Lane (Microsoft PowerPoint 36 KB)
DIS Governance
Given the results of the breakout sessions, how can the overall DIS manage
itself? For example, should there be a steering committee, technical working
groups, etc? How might eGY help? Does CODATA have a role?
