1. In particular learn from the Global South about Earth, space and environmental science (ESES) research data infrastructure initiatives in their countries and ensure that they are in the ESIP/RDA catalogue 

2. Further develop a catalogue for ESES Vocabularies, Ontologies and other semantic resources

3. Explore, discuss, and document the workflow between the ESES researcher, Domain repositories, publisher, and scholarly publication.  Identify where challenges occur and opportunities to improve practices.

4. Raise awareness of community ESES FAIR Implementation Profiles (FIPs) that are being developed.

• 0-10 Minutes (10 minutes): Introduction and getting the virtual system going.

• 10-20 Minutes (10 minutes); Review the current status of the ESES IG, including the catalogue, which contains both groups working within ESES, and those that include ESES as part of cross domain initiatives. Invite new additions, particularly from the Global South. 

• 20-35 Minutes (15 minutes): Provide 5-minute presentations on the 3 proposed breakout groups: 

  1. ESES Vocabs;

  2. ESES Domain Repositories; and 

  3. ESES FAIR Implementation Profiles (FIPs).

• 35-70 Minutes (35 minutes): Breakout sessions discussing:

  1. ESES IG Vocabularies, Ontologies and other semantic resources that are being developed in support of Earth, Space and Environmental Research: how many are there and can we better harmonise them?

  2. ESES Domain Repositories – Identify the challenges inherent in the existing workflow between the ESES domain repositories, the publisher, and the researcher.

  3. ESES FAIR Implementation Profiles(FIPs): who’s doing what, where and how can others access existing FIPs?

• 70-85 Minutes (15 minutes): Report back (5 minutes each breakout)

• 85-90 Minutes (5 minutes): Wrap up and next steps.

Our target audience includes participants and their organizations associated with ESES research projects and data infrastructure buiding efforts, as well as users of ESES datasets in other domains anywhere in the world. We particularly welcome participants and contributions from Africa, Asia and others of the Global South.
