[Esip-envirosensing] EnviroSensing cluster sessions at ESIP Summer 2018

[Scotty Strachan]

Greetings fellow EnviroSensors!

We have secured two session slots for the ESIP Summer meeting, with the 
idea that we will continue forward with the discussion and ideas 
surrounding streaming sensor data QA/QC tools/procedures and the 
metadata associated. These are informal "working" sessions, that will 
have a combination of short presentations and group discussion.

A few people from the Cluster have signed on to do short (5-10 min) case 
study or idea pitch presentations, but there is room for a couple more. 
If you are attending and would like to present, read the session 
abstracts (http://sched.co/Eyq1, http://sched.co/EyqJ) and contact Renée 
or myself (strachan at unr.edu) with your idea.

The first session (http://sched.co/Eyq1) on QA/QC workflow will look at 
some current practices but also get into some development/project ideas 
that the Cluster has been working on. One of the anticipated outcomes is 
a high-level scope of work for integrating basic QC into a widely-usable 
streaming web service such as CHORDS.

The second session (http://sched.co/EyqJ) is really designed as an 
opportunity for people to pitch ideas related to gaps in streaming 
sensor metadata collection and interchange. Which standards/protocol(s) 
works best for typical applications, and how well do they align with 
metadata capture technologies (e.g., mobile applications, XDOMES)? One 
potential outcome would be a Cluster collaboration on diving deeper over 
the next year on an existing metadata standard to make it more 
"streaming-sensor-workflow" friendly.

We are looking forward to seeing many of you at ESIP Summer 2018!

Cheers,

Scotty & Renée
