[ESIP-all] *TODAY* Data to Action Webinar: Data for Our Planet (11/13)

[Megan Carter]

Join us *TODAY* (11/13) at 4 pm ET/1 pm PT for ESIP's next 'Data to Action
' Webinar.


*Data for Our Planet: Increasing the Use and Value of Global Information
Infrastructures to Support Resilient Cities, Disaster Risk Reduction and
Infectious Diseases*
Accessing and integrating data from heterogeneous sources is a significant
barrier facing evidence-based responses to global grand challenges. To
address this, ISC-CODATA is preparing an international, coordinating
research program; ESIP has developed a community of practice around earth
science data standards; and ENVRI aims to align and share FAIR compliant
in-situ data and services. This webinar will 1) invite the community to
engage with these initiatives; 2) examine specific challenges relating to
data accessibility, interoperability and reusability (FAIR); and 3) examine
these issues around a set of pilot case studies, including infectious
diseases, resilient cities and disaster risk reduction. Grand challenges
need to access and integrate data from many different sources. Discovery
and interoperability mechanisms are frequently suboptimal. Time and space
is usually a key to integration, and remote sensing and in-situ Earth
observation data play a crucial role. The session will allow detailed
exploration of the issues in relation to case studies of significance to
the community. It will explore the applicability and potential of the FAIR
principles, ‘fitness for use’ criteria, Operational Readiness Levels,
alignment of metadata specifications, and data cubes to contribute towards
the solutions needed to assist data integration.

*More about the 2019 ESIP Webinar Series*
The Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP <https://www.esipfed.org/>)
2019 Webinar Series, *Data to Action: Increasing the Use and Value of Earth
Science Data and Information*, explores activities within and outside
of ESIP that contribute to increasing the use and value of Earth science
data and information by addressing three main questions: How do these
activities contribute to increasing the use and value of Earth science data and
information? What are quantitative and qualitative ways that can be used to
assess and measure this use and value? And, what are the challenges and
opportunities that currently exist in further increasing the use and value
of Earth science data and information? Learn more here
