PIs propose to convene a workshop to bring together one or two representatives of each of the self-defined subdisciplines of the earth sciences community and representatives of other scientific disciplines including ocean sciences, biodiversity, and atmospheric sciences, who are organizing to pursue development of the environmental cyberinfrastructure (ECI). The primary goal of the workshop is to establish the framework for a sustained effort to coordinate and facilitate community-wide collaboration in planning a geoinformatics system. Through the workshop, participants will identify the systemic and organizational issues necessary to start design of the system envisioned in the report of the "National Science Foundation Blue-Ribbon Advisory Panel on Cyberinfrastructure" and in the workshop recently completed at NCAR in Boulder, Colorado.The Boulder workshop demonstrated pervasive agreement on the basic attributes of the ECI and the need to coordinate the diverse array of activities already underway in the environmental sciences, engineering, and information technology arenas. The proposed workshop will examine the needs of all areas of the earth sciences as well as how the ultimate earth sciences ECI system will interact with similar efforts in other disciplines. By establishing a list of primary end-user needs as well as major issues facing each subdiscipline, we hope to prepare an effective plan for a coordinated ECI system. The workshop will produce by August 2003, a framework document that (i) outlines a structure for the geoinformatics system, (ii) identifies a process to achieve community-based participation, and (iii) recommends a strategy for further organizational activities.

参与者建议召开一次研讨会，召集地球科学界每个自定义分支学科的一名或两名代表以及其他科学学科的代表，包括海洋科学、生物多样性和大气科学，他们正在组织起来，寻求环境网络基础设施的发展。 讲习班的主要目标是建立一个框架，以便持续努力协调和促进全社区在规划地理信息系统方面的合作。 通过研讨会，与会者将确定必要的系统和组织问题，以开始设计“国家科学基金会网络基础设施蓝丝带咨询小组”的报告中设想的系统，并在最近完成的研讨会在NCAR在博尔德，科罗拉多：博尔德研讨会表明，与会者普遍同意出口信用指数的基本属性，并认为有必要协调已经开展的各种活动在环境科学、工程和信息技术领域正在进行。 拟议的讲习班将审查地球科学所有领域的需求，以及最终的地球科学ECI系统将如何与其他学科的类似努力相互作用。 通过建立一个列表的主要最终用户的需求，以及面临的主要问题，每个子学科，我们希望准备一个协调的ECI系统的有效计划。 该讲习班将在2003年8月之前编写一份框架文件，其中㈠概述地理信息系统的结构，㈡确定实现社区参与的进程，㈢就进一步组织活动的战略提出建议。
