*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


Hi All,
Apologies to those who are unable to make this time slot.  Majority ruled, but notes and future telecons will be available.

So…

To move forward, I would like to invite ESIP members who have experience in analytics techniques, data scientists, information managers who wish to explore new information management paradigms, information technologists, folks interested in learning more to better understand the new dynamics, and...everyone else, to a telecom to discuss the following topics:

Agenda (details below)

1.  Analytics and Data Scientist...in the Federation (what we can contribute to the field)
2.  Collaboration with the RDA Big Data Analytics Interest Group (Infrastructure Working Group)
3.  Data Scientist as a data user

----------
Agenda Details:

Note,  there is a plethora of very significant activities on this subject at this time:  e.g., NIST, the National Big Data R&D Initiative, RDA, Countless huge workshops, dozens for experts in the field.  This agenda is built around determining what the Federation can do to contribute to the field, as opposed to initiating another major activity.  Thus,

1.  Analytics and Data Scientist...in the Federation (what we can contribute to the field)

Discussion to flush out what expertise we have in the Federation on Analytics Techniques and Data Science.  This can result in a collection of text summarizing our experience/expertise.  Regarding Data Scientist, what would you like to see a Data Scientist do to help you  in your work.  Peter just provide me with another interesting link:  http://www.mastersindatascience.org   (Thanks Peter)


2.  Collaboration with the RDA Big Data Analytics Interest Group (Infrastructure Working Group)

RDA and NIST Big Data initiative have jointly focused their interests on the RDA Big Data Analytics Interest Group, and in particular, the Infrastructure Working Group.  Basic Charter:  ‘to establish best practices implementation guidelines for how to deploy and manage big data applications using NIST Big Data Reference Architecture (NBD-RA) and other big data architectures along with best technologies available today to meet the ever challenging big data application demands’

As a group, is this something we should collaborate with?   Can we contribute.  For more information see:

3.  Data Scientist as a data user

Data Scientists are, obviously, data users.  Data scientists:  What are your Earth science data needs in regards to accessing and using Earth science data?  Looking for people with experience
