2018 ESIP Winter Meeting

The Disasters Lifecycle cluster is advancing concepts for trusted data for the disasters management community from an end user perspective as contrasted with the science user viewpoint. Work is proceeding on defining Operational Readiness Levels (ORLs) for our ESIP partnership with the All Hazards Consortium. We see ORL assessments as a critical step in bridging the gap between eart science data providers and specific application users. In this session we will explore ways to provide appropriate linkages to existing earth observation repositories with the goal of identifying and tagging metadata with special purpose information such as ORLs.
