EarthCube Domain Workshop: Data Facilities

数据设施通过聚合、保存和传播大量数据集（包括高度复杂的PB级数据到更简单的元数据目录），为追求创新的科学研究提供了关键资源。拟议的研讨会为这些机构的领导人提供了一个论坛，无论数据的规模、类型或格式如何，都可以收集和讨论共性和协作解决方案，以应对与为研究人员提供数据访问相关的日益增加的挑战。此外，该研讨会将在EarthCube测试企业治理过程中充当关键最终用户大会小组，以确定最适用于地球科学数据设施的决策流程和治理模型。由来自地球科学领域的专家组成的指导委员会，包括大气、海洋和地球科学将采取行动，确定关键参与者并制定质量议程。将利用社会科学家确保将发展评价和学习循环纳入议程;这包括为讨论和分组讨论构建关键场景和练习。会议结果将包括一组与通信、协作、互操作性和治理结构，以确保现有和新兴的NSF/GEOfacilities的能力和机会被纳入EarthCube概念。

Data facilities provide a key resource in the pursuit of innovative scientific research byaggregating, preserving, and disseminating large quantities of data sets, including highlycomplex petabyte scale data to more simple metadata catalogs. The proposed workshop providesa forum for leaders from these facilities, regardless of scale, type or format of data, togather and discuss commonalities and collaborative solutions to the increasing challengesassociated with providing data access for researchers. In addition, this workshop will actas a key end-user Assembly Group during the EarthCube Test Enterprise Governance process toidentify decision making processes and governance models that are most applicable to the geosciencedata facilities.A steering committee of experts from across the Geosciences, including Atmosphere, Oceans,and Earth Sciences will act to identify key participants and create a quality agenda. Socialscientists will be utilized to ensure developmental evaluation and learning loops are incorporatedinto the agenda; this includes the construction of key scenarios and exercises for discussionand breakout groups.Results of the meeting will include a set of common and unique requirements and challengesassociated with the communication, collaboration, interoperability, and governance structuresrequired to ensure that the capabilities and opportunities of existing and emerging NSF/GEOfacilities are incorporated into the EarthCube concept.
