USWP Data Integration MeetingBreakout 3: Integration Case Studies
David K Arctur, ModeratorUniversity of Texas at Austin
David L Toll, ModeratorNASA Hydrological Sciences
Sarah Hemmings, RapporteurNASA
Overall Meeting GoalsProvide critical input on meeting the data requirements of the USWP web
portal, including how to manage and synthesize the water knowledge accessed through the portal.
Develop an understanding of the U.S. “data landscape”, including both U.S.-based water data and information delivery platforms, as well as global water-related datasets, information and knowledge products that USWP members and other water stakeholder organizations host and/or utilize.
Share initial survey results of potential developing world users regarding their data and information requirements and solicit feedback from partners.
Discuss how to translate data into information that is relevant to end-users.
Explore how to best organize and deliver relevant information to developing countries to help manage water resources within the current scope of the portal.
Discuss a possible path forward for future development of the web portal.
Working Group Goals What are the most successful integrative platforms?
How can they be leveraged?
What are the recommended actions for managing and sharing U.S. water information?
- Also outline for developing countries
How can our group's activity assist the overall meeting goals?
