  12. 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.

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. Themes Data access Data discovery Data release Data preservation Data rescue Outreach & Education Capacity building WG: Data Integration and Knowledge Discovery WG: Virtual Observatories WG: Best Practice WG: E/PO …..

  16. WG on Standards?

  17. Role Provide an international, cooperative environment to • facilitate • inform • stimulate • encourage • promote

  18. Deliverables • Infrastructure, establish links • Mandate - the eGY Declaration • Meetings, workshops, and symposia • Website: www.egy.org • eGY News • Articles, brochure, presentations • eGY codes of best practice • E/PO products for schools, … • Capacity building activities in developing countries

  19. A unifying theme

  20. The “heroic” science funding paradigm
