<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The presentation of earth science may be one particular cause of knowledge challenges, since it may be difficult to know when you have found the data that are needed to
address your question. Different communities have their own specific needs and it may be difficult to ascertain whether a dataset that is generally useful for answering a question is useful in the particular case. The earth sciences have developed keywords
to tag dataset according to their anticipated uses (citation), which satisfies federal agencies’ needs to demonstrate applicability of their research products, but it prescribes uses for datasets that often go unverified. These keywords fit within the earth
science’s ontology of data uses, but place based communities often need to know about more specific aspects of those applications.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">A novel application of discovery metadata is to append previous exemplars of a dataset’s usage. Here, secondary users of data annotate how data have been applied in specific
scenarios, using a technology called knowledge graphing. Therefore, instead of searching across characteristics of datasets and their primary uses, examples of actual use in derived and more applied scenarios may highlight how data were able to be applied
by secondary users to elucidate a challenge to very particular questions to solve specific problems. Therefore, discovery of data based on derived and applied uses of the data may be particularly helpful to practitioners who don’t have enough training in
the originating scientific discipline to anticipate how data that are generally useful for a question is applicable to their own questions. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">The usage of data is not a characteristic of that data, and it becomes added value to that data that may append to catalogs and websites where the data may be made discoverable
and accessible to a broader audience. This functionality may not be all that useful to scientists working in the originating field, because they have a good grasp of a dataset’s utility, and can rather easily assess the particular scenarios where a dataset
may be useful in application. However, practitioners don’t have this facility with the originating scientific discipline, and are not going to research primary literature in order to find datasets that may be useful to their questions. Access to a library
of scenarios where datasets have been applied to specific societal problems may help practitioners identify the relevance of data to their own questions. A resilience genome has been proposed to address knowledge challenges in the agriculture and climate
decision-making space (Wee and Piña, 2019), and knowledge graphing technology may provide the needed infrastructure to bring these initiatives for particular societal issues and problem spaces to bear."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
