[ESIP-all] EXT :Re: Fwd: Request for Information on Development of a National Plan for Civil Earth Observations

[Birk, Ron (IS)]

To Bruce and Dave's excellent points, it'll be good to highlight the value chain for Earth observation data flows.

Identifying the paths from decision support tools and processes associated with the SBAs, back through the forecast and trend models for weather, climate, water, etc., to the environmental data products, and on to the sensors and observing systems, would  establish traceability of the merits and value of Civil Earth Observations.

It might be helpful to create a list of communities involved in this
activity:
Data Producers (Academic, Government Agency Projects, and For Profit Producers}
Archives (using the generic notion from the OAIS RM that an archive is an organization devoted to preserving information over a time long enough to have to worry about hardware and software obsolescence)
Data Users (Professional Researchers in Specific Disciplines, Resource Managers, Policy Makers, Various Educational Communities, and the Public)
Tool Developers
Then, it would be helpful to make a table that lists properties of each group, together with an identification
of the benefits and difficulties each community would experience in trying to bring the vision we want to
fruition.

Thanks Carol. Important stuff.

Might I be so bold to suggest that the ESIP membership sing in a harmonious voice on one key message:

Involve data scientists/managers/curators/stewards directly in the science and observations early and throughout the process at all levels (senior planning to field/lab support). This means funding data science as an integral part of the scientific and observing effort and before, during, and after the observation period.

cheers,

Please comment as you deem appropriate. This plan has been coming for some time and it likely will inform many policies for our collective future.

Kind regards,
Carol

Dear Colleagues in Earth Observations,

On Tuesday, November 12, the Federal Register is scheduled to post OSTP's Request for Information (RFI) on development of the U.S. National Plan for Civil Earth Observations.   In the meantime, the RFI is publicly accessible via the on-line Federal Register, through the link below:

https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/11/12/2013-26890/national-plan-for-civil-earth-observations-requests-for-information

We  would welcome your input as we develop the Plan.  If you wish to provide input, I would encourage you to do so via the RFI's downloadable form, which should be sent to earthobsplan at ostp.gov<mailto:earthobsplan at ostp.gov>.

With thanks and best regards,

Tim Stryker
