  4. IPDA Requirements (20070719) • IPDA will form an international alliance that will actively work with data providers to use its standards for archiving data from planetary science missions • IPDA will facilitate global access to international planetary science data archives • IPDA will develop, maintain and publish standards for archiving and sharing planetary science data among international archive systems • IPDA will promote use of shared tools and services across archive systems in order to support scientific collaboration

  5. July IPDA Effort • Approved a Charter. For additional information See http://planetarydata.org/ • MAIN GOAL - to define the current data model • Assumed that because PDS3 is the current common model that was where to start • Asked for “good”datasets from PDS nodes & PSA that by necessity are based on PDS3 • Used those to derive the core model - hoping to capture the best properties of the current data model • We’ll report tomorrow

  6. IPDA Poster Presentations • LPSC - Susie Slavney et al • http://pat.geophys.tohoku.ac.jp/~kasaba/IPDA-STC-Presen-0703_LPSC.pdf • OAG - Yasumasa Kasaba et al • http://pat.geophys.tohoku.ac.jp/~kasaba/IPDA-STC-Presen-0708_AOGS.ppt

  7. COSPAR 2008 • Have a session under Commission B to announce IPDA and planned datasets to the public • Working toward a 2008 resolution • Internal to the steering committee we are discussing the merits of a COSPAR panel in the future.

  8. PDS4 • I propose that we have a normal telecon in Nov to handle MC details • Commit the entire Nov MC for PDS4. • Have the Nov MC at NMSU and schedule it for Nov 28-9 with working groups on Nov 27 and follow-up groups Nov 30 to keep it moving. • Include both the MC & Tech Group • Determine what work should be done as a lead in to this effort within the next 2 months.

  9. Questions to be Answered • What are the drivers for PDS4? How do we sell this thing? • Strong points • Problems and liens • How much funding will there be? What are is implication? • What are the conflicting visions of the group? • How do we get in gear? • ……..

  10. NRC New Frontiers Study • NASA has asked NRC to help define the terms for the next New Frontiers AO • Should the missions be expanded? • If so, what should be included? • Should Mars be included? • I am Co-chairing the study ands will use MEPAG, OPAG, VEXAG and LEAG to engage the community. Your input is welcome.
