FRESH PERSPECTIVES
eGY Meeting, Boulder, Colorado March 13-14, 2007
Themes
• Active management versus stewardship Might be a crisis in distributed environments
• Levels of Service• Discovery of Data AND access to Data
Jim Geringer at Decadal Survey Hearings Decisions based on hard data and not anecdotal
judgment
• Educate the producers as well as the users about data and data management
eGY Meeting, Boulder, Colorado March 13-14, 2007
Themes, (questions)
• What can eGY do in conjunction with the WDC’s? the ‘pull’ to energize?
• Geoinfomatics? (geology, seismology + ?)
• eGY has said what it wants to be, and the route seems to be sessions at conferences
• (how long IPY?)

Education
• Both youth – entrainment into science
• And scientists – methodologies and best practices for data management in scientific research
eGY Meeting, Boulder, Colorado March 13-14, 2007
The first IPY was a successful example of international scientific cooperation, but coordinated observations were not
synthesized for 125 years!!!
