Our target audience includes participants and their organizations associated with ESES research projects and efforts, as well as users of ESES datasets in other domains anywhere in the world. We particularly welcome participants from Africa, Asia, South America and any other members of the Global South.
The Earth, space, and environmental science communities are developing, through multiple international efforts, both general and domain-specific leading practices for data management, infrastructure development, vocabularies, and common data/digital services. This Interest Group will work towards coordinating and harmonizing:
-
Efforts within the ESES globally to reduce possible duplication, increase efficiency, share use cases, and promote partnerships and adoption in the community; and
-
Cross domain initiatives to accelerate the uptake of, and integration of ESES data with other domains.
The group began as a BoF at Plenary 10 in Montreal in 2017 focussed around the US NSF funded EarthCube Project. At that meeting, it was recognised that there were many similar initiatives and projects in other continents and that these could be brought together under the umbrella of an RDA IG. The IG was formally endorsed by RDA in July 2018 and has been active at most plenaries since Montreal. Here are the links to previous plenaries:
16th RDA Plenary Costa Rica (November 2019): Digging Deeper - how do we globally describe, store and interoperate Earth, Space and Environmental Science Data
14th RDA Plenary Helsinki IG meeting (October 2019): Globally Networking within ESES data infrastructures, as well as beyond to those of other domains
