Hi all,
In order to get some discussion going in the ESIP Federation Air Domain,
I've seeded the SWICKI discussion area with a few ideas I've developed from
my experience and observation of the Unidata community. As you will see,
my background is somewhat narrowly focused in the area of technology
infrastructure for real-time data and analysis tools for the atmospheric
sciences research and education community. Please keep this in mind as you
read the information and ideas I placed there. The idea is for the domain
participants to build the SWICKI pages collaboratively and this is just
intended as a starting point.
The top level of the swiki is located at:
<http://swiki.dpc.ucar.edu/ReportOut2002/164>
One short term objective is to develop a core poster for the Air Domain, so
please keep that in mind as you contribute your materials and ideas.
The swiki is very easy to use. You simply hit the edit button and position
your cursor below the topic to which you are contributing. It is helpful
to date/initial your contribution so that others will know where it
originated. The swiki practice area gives you some ideas on special codes
to use for certain attributes. Again, hit the edit button to view the
codes that were used.
If you visit the ESIP Domain Template link at:
<http://swiki.dpc.ucar.edu/ReportOut2002/164>
, you will see some ideas that have been suggested as a starting point for
developing posters in the various domains. The broad categories include:
Defining the Central Questions for the Domain; Enumerating the Disciplines
within the Domain; a Nugget (1 or more) that can highlight a success story
of a member ESIP (or better, group of ESIPs that highlights the flow of
data down the value chain); How the Domain Might address some of the
National Applications and Potential Directions/Collaborative Activities for
the Domain. You should also take a look at the work that has been done in
other domain areas (especially water) and within committees (especially
Education).
If you have questions about the use of the SWIKI, please contact Carol
