EarthCube Update IS-GEO Meeting Eva Zanzerkia GEO/EAR 3/26/2015
What is EarthCube A future state of geosciences cyberinfrastructure that serves the entire academic geosciences community facilitates science on the Earth System simple and easy access to data and information seamless connection to tools and services flexible and community-driven development Partnership between CISE/ACI and GEO: NSF 13-529
EarthCube Motivations To transform geosciences research by supporting community- driven cyberinfrastructure to integrate data and information. Drivers Challenges Dynamic Earth: GEO Diversity of the Imperatives & geosciences Frontiers 2015-2020 Interdisciplinary CI Framework for Science Questions the 21 st Century Big, Heterogeneous Science and Data issues Engineering (CIF21) Communities that are OSTP Open Access poorly served/have Memo, 2/22/2013 no community resources
Organizational Studies of Information People, routines, forms, and classification systems are as integral to information handling as computers, Ethernet cables, and Web protocols. The boundary between technological and organizational means of information processing is mobile. It can be shifted in either direction, and technological mechanisms can only substitute for human and organizational ones when the latter are prepared to support the substitution. History & Theory of Infrastructure: lessons for New Scientific CI, Paul Edwards, 2007
Building Cyberinfrastructure Collaboratively ACADEMIC GEOSCIENTISTS GEO FACILITIES CI/CS SCIENTISTS AGENCIES AND PARTNERS NSF AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP
4-Stage EarthCube Development Build on existing resources: different geosciences communities have different needs • Build CI responsive to community input and assessment in regular intervals • Develop the organizational structure to represent the community and inform NSF • Solicitation 13-529 can be amended to respond to the community •
