EARTHCUBE TEST ENTERPRISE GOVERNANCE
An agile approach to design a system that catalyzes the field and works for you
How do we bring your tools, standards, and skills into EarthCube?
Stakeholders (Assembly) – governance
ideas, testing
Integrate stakeholder concepts –
crowdsource
Synthesize and recommend governance
model to NSF
Establish Test Governance
Facilitate convergence on system design, data standards
Evaluate results: basis for long
term governance

END-USER SCIENTIFIC GRAND CHALLENGES: CENTRAL THEMES
Multi-disciplinary science to further understand our environment E.g. physical, chemical, and biological processes in ocean ecosystems
Understand, adapt to, or propose changes in scientific approach Better use of available data or new ways of
collecting/distributing data Improved collaboration and coordination among disparate
funded projects/programs and disciplines; including improving upon the use of existing facilities and observatories
Communication of science (& data) to society
Full list of Science Challenges at : http://workspace.earthcube.org/content/end-user-workshops-synthesis-science-grand-challenges
END-USER TECHNICAL CHALLENGES: CENTRAL THEMES
Search and Access
Lack of awareness of existing tools and resources
Need for improved tools to enhance discoverability
Need for increased awareness of resources within and outside of specific domains.
Need to incorporate legacy/dark data
Quality and formatting barriers to accessing found data
Storage
Tools
Software and algorithm development need to keep pace with research advances.
Need for Increased visualization capabilities, simpler tools
Lack of tools to facilitate capturing metadata and documentation
Full list of Technical Challenges at: http://workspace.earthcube.org/content/end-user-workshops-synthesis-technological-grand-challenges
END-USER TECHNICAL CHALLENGES: CENTRAL THEMES
Sustainability Need support for long term archiving and retrieval
More data producers than managers
Need for Increased training in data use and stewardship
Need for easier ways to move and share large data sets
Interoperability Inconsistent/ incomplete metadata
Formats and archiving standards vary across projects, and domains
Compliance mechanisms for providing metadata at point of acquisition
Increased uncertainty comes w/ new sources, uncertainty needs to be communicated
Cultural Lack of incentives for sharing data. Academic culture still very publication focused, need for better ways of
recognizing academic merit of data.
Need for more communication between data producers and data managers and tool builders.
Need for different types of support for diverse users.
