>􀂃 Develop an understanding of communities’ needs through outreach to
>user communities. (e.g., decision makers, teachers, students)
>􀂃 Reduce barriers between data providers and data users through IT,
>training, and standards education. (e.g., technical workshops, outreach)
>􀂃 Provide mechanisms for community review of data, products,
>applications and other resources.
>􀂃 Develop and share alternative approaches to sustaining Earth science
>data and information networks.
>􀂃 Support a service-oriented architecture for observation, research and
>application provision.
>􀂃 Develop and share the story of how Earth science products make an
>impact from discovery, through development, to ultimate use. (“impact
>metrics”)
>Stakeholders supported by Goal 1: the entire community of Earh science
>data and information users t
>
>GOAL 2: Act as a facilitating, coordinating and advisory community-led
>organization to promote the use of Earth science data and information
>products for our members and the communities they support.
>􀂃 Foster interactions among communities of Earth science data providers,
>researchers, technology developers, educators and those who put their
>products to practical use.
>􀂃 Innovate.
>􀂃 Promote use of technical standards and best practices for data
>management, stewardship and application development.
>􀂃 Evaluate and evolve the means by which the Federation serves this goal.
>Stakeholders supported by Goal 2: ESIP Federation Partners
