Slide1

The Vision, Process, and Requirements for Creating EarthCube

Presentation at Second EarthCube WebExAug 22, 2011

Slide2

Talking Points

Slide3

GEOSCIENCES IS READY

Cyberinfrastructure (CI) is part of the research fabric of GeosciencesGeoscientists are sophisticated CI users and creatorsNSF and other agencies support substantial infrastructure and research that will form the foundation of EarthCubeCommunity is connected by the science and collegial relationships

Slide4

What is EarthCube?

Slide5

Goal of Earth Cube

to transform the conduct of research in geosciences by supporting community-based cyberinfrastructure to integrate data and information for knowledge management across the Geosciences.

Slide6

What Is Knowledge Management

It is a human-centric context for the scientific enterpriseElements :Easy Use and Discovery of data and information

Ease of collaboration and training to create knowledgeAccess through open architecture and interworkability

Shared community vision/ value system

The community will strategically connect these elements over time for the geosciences

The use of existing or emerging technologies will moderate the pace of development

Slide7

What Needs To Be Done?

Integrate data, tools and communities through cyberinfrastructureEstablish a governance mechanism that is inclusive and adopted by the communityUtilize current and emerging technologies to create transparent infrastructure for the geosciences community

Slide8

Modes of Support

Well-Connected through

EarthCube

Loosely or Not Connected

A

Unifying Architecture and

Technology Advances Will Lead to

Convergence

Slide9

EARTHCUBE ASSUMPTIONS

The geosciences community is ready to take on the EarthCube challengeCommunity will start self-organizing prior to the EarthCube CharretteCurrent and emerging technology will help achieve the convergence envisioned for

EarthCubeA broad range of expertise and resources must be engaged to shape EarthCube

Slide10

EARTHCUBE TIMELINE

On-line Community Information: (August to November, 2011)EarthCube Charrette: (Early November, 2011)Post Charrette: (Mid-November to April, 2012)EarthCube Ideas/Lab: (Tentatively Early May, 2012)

Prototype Development: (May to December 2013)Fully integrated geosciences infrastructure: (2014-2022):

Slide11

Preparing for the Charrette to be held

November 1-4, 2011 in the Washington, DC Area

Pre-Charrette contributions by the community are essential

Slide12

Pre-Charrette Organization

(August – September)Second WebEx on Aug. 22NSF seeks input from wide range of sources

Individuals, inst./org., representatives of scientific groups or communities Facilities and managers of CI endeavors

Industry, Federal Labs., Federal Agencies, and International Partners

NSF will establish on-line resources and forums to

Gather community inputs/requirements

Facilitate partnerships and collaborations

Encourage submission of approaches to the

EarthCube

design

Slide13

Pre-Charrette Organization

(August – September)NSF will facilitate input in three areas

User RequirementsTechnology SolutionsEarthCube Design Approaches

Slide14

User Requirements

Forums and questionnaire are important to understanding user requirements and unmet needsThey test the scope and functionality of proposed approaches to EarthCubeInputs received on-line will complement expertise

at the CharretteThe aim is to understand what would improve your ability to conduct research in the present and in 10 years.

Slide15

Technology Solutions

Innovative CI solutions to data integration or the scientific processNew and untested ideas as well as established CI that have worked for communities are welcomeSolutions may come from individuals, communities, industry, academia, international groups, and federal agencies

Short (up to 6 pages) white papers can be submitted

Slide16

EarthCube Design

Position papers on the design and implementation of an EarthCube approach (no more than 10 pages)Plans need to address:Vision for

EarthCube Community Based Governance modelConceptual CI Architecture

Design and Implementation Process

Operations and Sustainability Model

Online forum will allow for comments on approaches and these will be complemented by comments and suggestions during the

Charrette

Slide17

Charrette Process

Plenary Session provide the opportunity to discuss user requirementsrefine approaches and designs for EarthCubedevelop partnerships and new collaborationsRemote participation and real-time comments system will be available

Summary SessionComments from NSF, facilitators, and participants on process

NSF provides guidance on post-

Charrette

activities
