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.  NIST Big Data Program
4.  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) - Rahul will poroivide us a briefing

3.  NIST Big Data Program - Wo Chang will provide us a briefing

RDA and NIST Big Data initiatives have jointly focused their interests on the Big Data Analytics Interest Group, and in particular, the Infrastructure Working Group ‘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:

4.  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
