  1. Data Services IG Discussion WGISS #27 May, 2009 Toulouse, France Lyndon R. Oleson U.S. Geological Survey Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center Sioux Falls, SD

  2. Data Services IG Discussion • Action from WGISS #26 (Boulder): • ACTION WGISS-26-15: WGISS-Exec to include a session on Data topics on WGISS-27 agenda, with outside experts (refer to Data Services in WGISS-26 minutes). • Scope of IG? • How would it support and complement other Interest Groups? • How would it be different from Web Services? • What kinds of topics would it focus on? • What kinds of Projects might it host? • Examples of potential activities hosted by a Data Services Interest Group? • Data, Metadata & Products Harmonization Project? • NOAA's National Operational Model Archive and Distribution System (NOMADS): - Developing Access and Archives for Multi-Model Ensembles (Glenn Rutledge, NOAA/NCDC)

  3. Data Services IG Discussion • Comments from Wyn Cudlip, BNSC/QinetiQ: • I have never been very comfortable with calling this IG the Data Services Interest Group (DSIG) • The use of the term Services overlaps too much with the Web Services Interest Group. • It seemed to me that the DSIG could concern it self more with Data Content issues (Data Models, formats, metadata, product specifications etc) and • so a title something like Data Product or Data Content Interest Group might be more appropriate. • I think Archive issues would be within the scope of this IG. • Just after I sent the last email, I looked back at the note I wrote a few months on possible revision of the 5-year Plan. And it reminded me that “Data Management Interest Group” might be a suitable all-embracing title.

  4. Data Services IG Discussion • Proposal to WGISS Plenary? • Name – Data Product or Data Content or Data Management • Scope: • Data, meta-data and product topics • Concerning data content, metadata content, data formats, data preservation (archiving) • Functionality of tools and data services • User functional focus, not technical • Projects? • Data, Metadata, Harmonization Project (contribs to GEO task) • Others? • Volunteer lead agency? • Members?
