>> ---------- 3. ESIP Strategic Plan ---------------
>> 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.
>>
>> MISSION
>> 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.
>>
>> GOAL 1: Increase the use and value of Earth science data and
>>information.
>> 􀂃 Demonstrate use through community-vetted demos, pilots and
>>applications.
>> 􀂃 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
>>
>> GOAL 3: Continue to evolve the ESIP Federation (e.g., governance,
>>structure, staffing) to strengthen the ties between Observations,
>>Research and Applications.
>> 􀂃 Recognize and encourage new leadership.
>> 􀂃 Embrace technology to support community interaction.
>> 􀂃 Establish metrics on organizational performance and progress that is
>>made toward all goals in this strategic plan.
>> Stakeholders supported by Goal 3: ESIP Federation Organization
>>
>> GOAL 4: Promote techniques to articulate and measure the socioeconomic
>>value and benefit of Earth science data, information and applications.
>>(e.g., feedback to sponsors – value of their investment)
>> 􀂃 Create impact metrics on the value of Earth Science data and
>>information.
>> 􀂃 Develop metrics to describe the linkages between Observation,
>>Research and Applications.
>> 􀂃 Recognize and promote best practices for providing feedback to
>>sponsors.
