[Esip-preserve] possible session at ESIP

[Kerstin A Lehnert]

Hi Mark,

I think that is a great idea and it would be highly valuable to develop 
some vision and maybe even a roadmap how the various initiatives could 
work together to maximize impact with coordinated development and 
implementation of both technology and policies. In addition to the 
projects, organizations, and initiatives that you mention, I would like 
to also make sure that EarthCube is more embedded in these activities.

I would think that this session would need more than the regular 1.5 
hours, just considering the time it would take to have each one give a 
short overview of goals, structure, and activities. It would be 
important to agree on some critical goals for such session.

Could we set up a call through ESIP or RDA to start a dialog about this 
session?

Kerstin

I don’t know if this belongs under the stewardship committee or more broadly, but it would seem worthwhile to have a discussion on strategic partnerships for ESIP.

The Belmont Forum e-infrastructure initiative is moving in to an implementation phase, whatever that might mean. RDA/US is coordinating a collaboration effort of domain repositories to try and amplify their voice at a national level (this includes non-Earth science repositories). The National Data Service is up and running and exploring some test bed activities with RDA/US. Force11, CODATA, and others are doing things about data citation. I’m sure there’s more.

Perhaps this is just a discussion at the business meeting, but I think it could be more. We could hear short reports on the various initiatives and then discuss ways forward. We had the beginnings of this conversation in Copper Mountain last summer. It would be good to continue.
