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:

(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
