[ESIP-all] BESSIG meeting Tue, 3/18, 4:00

[Anne Wilson]

Hi ESIP,

If you are in Boulder next Tuesday, please come by our monthly meeting 
of the Boulder Earth and Space Science Informatics Group.  Our topic is:

Earth System CoG and the Earth System Grid Federation: A Partnership for 
Improved Data Management and Project Coordination

Sylvia Murphy, NCAR-CISL

The Earth System CoG Collaboration Environment, led by a NOAA ESRL/CIRES 
team, is partnering with the DOE-led Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) 
data archive to deliver a capability that will enable users to store, 
federate, and search scientific datasets, and manage and connect the 
projects that produced those datasets.

CoG is a collaboration environment and connective hub for networks of 
projects in the Earth Sciences.  It hosts software development projects, 
model intercomparison projects, and short university-level courses. It 
includes a configurable search to data on any ESGF node, metadata 
collection and display,  project-level wikis, and a host of other 
capabilities. There are 74 projects currently using the system.
