<div>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.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<span>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 Pińa, 2019), and knowledge graphing technology may
provide the needed infrastructure to bring these initiatives for particular societal issues and problem spaces to bear."</span><br>

use case. As we need more detail for particular use cases, we can go back to respondents to get it. (In fact, having that kind of dialogue is in some respects as important as the information itself.)</span></p>
