21st Century Science Drivers

Earth (Complex) System science

Higher space/time resolution

Rapid response

Data assimilation into models

Challenges: distributed data, complex cross-disciplinary data, large data sets, data discovery, data preservation, data rescue, ... , open access and sharing.

How do we in the Earth & Space Sciences

• Find out who is doing what?

• Share experience and expertise

• Coordinate activities

• Reduce replication of effort

• Promote common practices (standards)

• Stimulate wider participation

• Reduce the digital divide

• Raise awareness about the need for modern, professional data stewardship

• Educate; influence decision makers

• Inspire public interest

IGY+50 Embrace and extend IGY principles …

International cooperation and data sharing

Global, cross-disciplinary scope

Universal, open access to data

Timely and convenient access to data

Data preservation

Capacity building, especially in dev. countries

Education and public outreach

Themes

Data access

Data discovery

Data release

Data preservation

Data rescue

Outreach & Education

Capacity building

WG: Data Integration and Knowledge Discovery
