Re: [galeon] AGU ESSI session submission deadline TODAY

NOTE: The galeon mailing list is no longer active. The list archives are made available for historical reasons.

John-

A main challenge of a AGU Town Hall is its short duration of one hour.  The 
audience will include traditional scientists who might need to be brought up to 
speed very quickly to appreciate all of the issues involved.  The Town Hall 
would be an excellent venue for presenting and eliciting feedback on a "Data 
Stewardship Plan" - if we had such a thing.  The upcoming 3-day Workshop on 
Data Stewardship at the ESIP Summer Meeting could produce a start on some 
elements of a Stewardship Plan. The IWGDD also has begun efforts in this area 
for more general data beyond geospatial.  But there are many dimensions to the 
problem including storage media needs, metadata requirements, unique 
identifiers, etc., and an open-ended Town Hall Meeting could degenerate into 
chaos very quickly. A focus on some aspect such as "Data Standards for Data 
Stewardship" could be interesting in providing a framework for further 
discussions, though even that narrowed topic has lots of room for "scope 
creep".  The upcoming ESIP Workshop will include enough of the major players 
and enough discussion time that it could provide insights on how we can proceed 
most productively.

 From your experience with previous Data Stewardship and similar
discussions, can any of you envision a good way to set up the
discussion so that it leads to a relatively inclusive/integrated/
universal set of follow-on activities?  It would be nice to go beyond
informal discussions.

We have (a) lots of fairly tricky technical challenges and (b) a lot
of partially overlapping communites working on these issues (OGC, W3C,
ESIP, Unidata, Dublin Core, MMI, TDWG, Science/Creative Commons, just
to name a few).  Maybe we could get a fair number of these groups to
agree on some collaborative process(es)....

John

P.S. At an e-biosphere biodiversity informatics breakout meeting a
week or two ago, I think the British Library said they had accepted
contracts/collaborative agreements to create URIs for data sets.  An
interesting milestone along that path....
