The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners Peter Fox, President (RPI), @ESIPPres February 2015 (also [email protected]) http://esipfed.org http://wiki.esipfed.org

History Formed in 1998 by NASA National Academy report recommended the creation of a federation 24 original Working Prototypes-ESIPs 12 research 12 applications Later expanded to include NASA DAACs Constitutional Convention (1999-2000) Constitution and Bylaws Foundation for Earth Science (2001) Nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation The Federations secretariat SINCE THEN it has been an interesting ride

ESIP Vision To be a leader in promoting the collection, stewardship and use of Earth science data, information and knowledge that is responsive to societal needs.

ESIP Mission (Shared Agenda) To support the networking and data dissemination needs of our members and the global community by linking the functional sectors of observation, research, application, education and ultimate use of Earth science..

The ESIP Federation is A broad-based, distributed community of Earth science data and information technology practitioners Some partners are networks themselves Unidata, DataOne, NEON, US-GIN, Data Conservancy, OOI, WHOI, National Phenology Network, USGS Community for Data Integration* NASA, NOAA, EPA ESIP Partners are affiliated with other networks: AGU Earth and Space Science Informatics (ESSI) Group on Earth Observations (GEO) EarthCube Research Data Alliance (RDA)

Foundation for Earth Science provides management, operational and logistical services to the ESIP Federation, unchanged. ESIP Federation Foundation for Earth Science Service Agreement

FES Coordination for ESIP

ESIP Transforms Earth Science ESIP provides community coordination to support interoperability at the data, systems, human and organizational levels. Outcomes and Outputs: ESIP Meetings Optimize Collaboration Open Forum for Community- Driven Collaborations Professional Development for Earth Science Data Management Innovation Hub for Experimental Development

ESIP is not a standards body

What ESIP has done one e.g.

The GEO AQ CoP aims to connect and enable air quality data providers and users for effective air quality science and management 15 Air quality: Many Observations, Many Applications

AR-09-01b: GEO Architecture Implementation Pilot (AIP) Testing and Using the GEOSS Common Infrastructure (GCI) Data Search Facets DatasetParamete r Instr.Platfor m Space Time Sharing is facilitated by the GEOSS Common Infrastructure Catalog of AQ Data though the GEOSS Clearingho use

GEO AQ-CoP Main interaction through the open, participatory website: CoP People Member Projects DataSpaces

GEO AQ CoP Poster What is the GEO AQ CoP? Self- organized group working together to foster application of Eos to AQ Rather than competing, it connects and supports the activities of other data integration communities and initiatives CoP Activities for GEOSS AIP 3, AQ Community Catalog WCS Server Software, Co-developed, Shared CoP Activities for Users Catalog and help access to AQ- relevant data and tools Foster collaborative projects and global-regional integration

Things ESIP Does ~ Now Community-generated Best Practices (e.g. Citation) Testbed (e.g. Identifiers, Ontology) Community Conventions (e.g. Discovery) Professional Development Technical Workshops Non-technical Workshops (e.g. Evaluation, Communication) Data Management Short Course/Workshops Outreach Education (e.g. annual teacher workshop on climate change) Professional Societies (e.g. AGU, GSA) International Efforts (e.g. GEO, ISRSE) Provide Venue for Collaboration and Connections Both virtual and in-person Support with suite of collaboration tools Provide mini-grants to make stuff happen

Data Stewardship Committee 2014 (Chair: Ruth Duerr) First results from ESIPs participation in the Data Citation Implementers Group available for review Achieving human and machine accessibility of cited data in scholarly publications.

Citation, IDs years ahead Originated in the Stewardship Cluster (now Preservation and Stewardship Committee) From the community - dates back to late 2010. Guideline in late 2011, and adopted by the ESIP Assembly early in 2012 http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Interagency_Data_Stewardship/Citations/provi der_guidelines http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Interagency_Data_Stewardship/Citations/provi der_guidelines ESIP Resolution related to joint declaration on DC principles: http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Endorsing_the_Joint_Declaration_of_Data_Cit ation_Principles http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Endorsing_the_Joint_Declaration_of_Data_Cit ation_Principles And identifiers: http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Interagency_Data_Stewardship/Identifiers/Use Cases http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Interagency_Data_Stewardship/Identifiers/Use Cases Duerr et al, 2011, On the utility of identification schemes for digital earth science data: an assessment and recommendations, Earth Science Informatics: 10.1007/s12145-011-0083-6

Resolution The ESIP General Assembly, Acknowledging the importance of accessible and reliable data to the processes of sound, reproducible scholarship and the role that data citation plays in ensuring this, Noting that the global research community as a whole has not yet accepted that data should be considered legitimate, citable products of research, and Reaffirming our commitment to the ESIP Data Citation Guidelines for Data Providers and Archives for Earth science data which not only acknowledges data in this role; but also provides detailed instructions for citing Earth science data, Recognizing that ESIP endorsement of the Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles could increase support for data citation within the global community, Endorses the Joint Declaration of Data Citation Principles which, while a very high level statement about data citation, is entirely consistent with the ESIP Data Citation Guidelines for Data Providers and Archives.

Data Management Short Course The Short Course was funded by NOAA and developed by community over 18 months All content is modular material in ppt, web and video formats Workshops have been given at AGU, AMS, IPY and material has been integrated into some I-School curriculum

Earth Data OpenSearch Conventions ESIP Discovery cluster brought together OGC, CWIC, CEOS to agree on conventions API covers > 93% of query needs according to ECHO metrics Two-step searching is the burden of the API ESIP/CWIC/CEOS best practices are dynamic Adoption rate is very promising

Defining Collective Impact Initiatives Definition The commitment of cross- sector actors to come together around a shared agenda and change their behavior in order to solve a complex problem Characteristics Social problems & solutions arise from multiple interacting factors Organizations actively coordinate actions and share lessons learned Backbone organizations necessary to support the coordination http://www.ssireview.org/articles/entry/collective_impact

ESIP as a Backbone Organization Definition A Backbone Organization maintains overall strategic coherence, coordinates day-to-day operations, and manages the implementation of work. Functions Community Engagement Communication & Outreach Evaluation Meeting Planning Project Management/Facilitation Fundraising Other Responsibilities http://www.ssireview.org/articles/entry/collective_impact

ESIP Core Values = Shared Agenda Agility Collaborative Collegial Community-driven Innovative Neutral (Convening) Organization Open Participatory Voluntary

ESIP as a community is on the bleeding edge New technology like Docker, Schema.org are being assessed and shared all the time Drone cluster started at 2015 Winter Meeting http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Drone_Cluster Participating in White House Big Earth Data Initiative (BEDI) with Federal Partners

How do governance models support (or discourage) community engagement? Make it easy easy easy to participate. Low barrier to entry Allow people to align their day job to the work shared agenda. Really be a virtual organization, and communicate, communicate, you get the idea. And there is a whole other talk on that Use cases (in short)

Moving into the Social Era We need to use business models that will allow connected humans with shared interests and goals to work together [across organizations] and to produce returns - Nilofer Merchant, 11 Rules for Creating Value in the Social Era

ESIP Transforms Earth Science ESIP provides community coordination to support interoperability at the data, systems, human and organizational levels. Conclusions: Socio-cultural forces key to success Light touch oversight to allow for community- drivers to flourish Make collaboration work for your day job through shared agendas
