Visioning a Software Tools Framework & Workflow for near-End-to-End Sensor Data Management
In this Working Session, the ESIP EnviroSensing Cluster will lead a discussion focused on the needs, opportunities, and workflow for sensor data management software tools, with an end to visioning a framework that would be broadly applicable to streaming sensor data. Anyone with interests in this area is encouraged to participate and contribute, especially sensor network managers and scientists. We will hand out paper workflow graphics with blank spaces for participants to indicate their current solutions as a data gathering exercise, and then have an informal group discussion about choke points and challenges. So, think about how you acquire, transport, store, check, analyze, curate, and distribute your sensor data: which tools you use right now, how much relative time they take, and what parts of the workflow you really want to improve as data collection increases. General items of discussion will include, but are not limited to: 1) streamlining information manager workflow; 2) aligning to existing and upcoming metadata standards; and 3) reducing management system setup and maintenance complexity. We will discuss these topics within the context of sensor science 'best practices' as developed by the Cluster in previous years, as well as emerging provenance and data requirements concepts.

Earth Science Data Analytics from Data to Knowledge
This session will bring speakers in from the Earth science community to discuss their work involving data analytics within the process of turning data into knowledge. Talks will focus on specific projects involving earth science data analytics, and will address the data to knowledge process from multiple perspectives, including data management, data integration, data transformation and end-user application. The session will also provide perspective from the tools and data infrastructure that enable, and indeed are integral to Earth science data analytics. We will have presentations from these two vantage points (1) management/applications and (2) tools/infrastructure, with the goal of showcasing a selection of specific applications, and architectures in use for earth science data analytics.

In addition to the community presentations in these areas, this session will also help to identify and activate a network of organizations working on all parts of data analytics in the earth sciences, and may serve to launch the formation of an ESDA Summer ESIP session surrounding “Open Data Analytics” - bringing interoperability to data analytics, and interoperability of data analytics platforms across organizations that serve data.

Quantifying the socioeconomic benefits of Earth science information in decision making

There is a need to substantiate the benefits of Earth science applications in socially and economically meaningful terms in order to demonstrate return on investment and to prioritize investments across data products, modeling capabilities, and information systems. However, methods and techniques for quantifying the value proposition of Earth observations are currently not fully established. Furthermore, improvements are needed to connect to the decision processes that produce actions with direct societal benefits.

This ESIP session will present a series of case studies that show how U.S. federal and state government agencies are using Earth observations in tandem with ground-based monitors to inform policy decisions. Session speakers include

  • Yusuke Kuwayama, Resources for the Future
  • Emily Pindilli, U.S. Geological Survey
  • Isaac Morrison, Management Systems International

 

The session is organized by the Consortium for the Valuation of Applications Benefits Linked with Earth Science (VALUABLES), a cooperative agreement between Resources for the Future (RFF) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The VALUABLES Consortium is working to advance methods to value and communicate the applied benefits linked with Earth observations.

Introduction to Cognitive Computing and Earth Science Data
In a well- attended session at the Summer ESIP Meeting (https://goo.gl/ExQ9bA), it was agreed that there could be an important role for cognitive computing in the curation and mediation of Earth science data. The hope is that we could reduce the bottleneck of data curation and begin to automatically uncover hidden (latent) biases and tacit knowledge. A goal would be to begin to automatically understand certain levels of context, this reducing human cognitive burden, and answer the difficult “why” questions such as “why is this the better data set for this application?”

To begin to address these challenges, we need to encourage a dialog and collaboration between cognitive scientists, computer scientists, and data professionals. We need to encourage cognitive computer scientists to address Earth science data problems. We also need to educate Earth science researchers and data professionals on the general theory, methods, possibilities and current limitations of cognitive computing.

In this session, invited speakers will provide a general introduction to cognitive computing and how it relates to artificial intelligence, deep learning, natural language processing, and other advanced computer sciences. We will then explore how different approaches might best apply to data stewardship issues relevant to Earth sciences.

Place-based community resilience: Demonstrating the socioeconomic value of Earth Science data
Place-based community resilience has emerged as a U.S. national priority with the expectation that it can improve human livelihoods, address environmental change, and prepare communities and households to cope with hazards and disasters (Cutter et al. 2013; NSTC 2014; PCAST 2011). Increased application of Earth Science data for urban and place-based community decision-making can help to inform and enhance social and infrastructural resilience to environmental events and climate change. In this session, we seek to identify specific ways that Earth Science data and the ESIP community can contribute to enhancing place-based community resilience. As our case study for the session, we focus on small- to medium-sized US towns that have city planning staff.

This session builds on previous work conducted at ESIP on community resilience (summer 2015) and integration of multidisciplinary datasets (winter 2017), and current work conducted by the co-organizers on city resilience planning and community development, climate resilience decision-making (Data to Decisions for Climate Resilience ESIP cluster), and capacity-building for stakeholders of city resilience through the use of existing templates.

In this session, we first highlight the data challenges that have been identified in specific cases of U.S. towns that address community resilience issues in their city planning, and architecture, engineering and construction companies that tactically work on the digital infrastructure aspects of city planning. Then, we will introduce some examples of how these challenges may be addressed (e.g., reproducible, traceable, data-driven analytical approaches for integrating societal values and biogeophysical models; emerging technologies for monitoring the environment; indicator datasets; development of templates). We offer some thoughts on how we could realize the value, as well as the cost of not having data, data services, and planning in place to support community resilience.

For the remainder of the session, we lead a discussion with the participants that focuses on: 1) What are potential linkages between data-driven community resilience and other ESIP work, as well as with the overall Earth Science data community?; and 2) What are specific ways that ESIP can contribute specifically to place-based community resilience? We propose that supporting the Earth Science data needs for place-based community resilience and sustainability may be one of the most appropriate spaces for ESIP to direct and emphasize its socioeconomic impact.

Cognitive Computing it’s Everywhere - but what about implications for the Earth?
Cognitive Computing, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence - these terms are bandied about everywhere these days and more importantly they are actually in use primarily in the private and government intelligence sectors. However, it isn’t obvious that ethical concerns such as privacy, security, etc. are often embedded within these systems.

In this session, we will present a number of use cases showing a variety of ways and places where these methods are being used (e.g., facilitating targeted crawls, analysing data, enriching the context of data or information). We welcome contributions of your own use cases.

The session will conclude with a discussion of the ethical implications for humanity and its environment.

Landsat Analysis Ready Data & Landsat Product Roadmap
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has improved Landsat data quality and usability through the creation of Analysis Ready Data (ARD) for the conterminous United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. Landsat ARD enables the Landsat archive to be more accessible, easier to analyze, and reduces the amount of time users spend on data processing. ARD are derived from Landsat Collection 1 Level-1 scenes, which are then processed and arranged in geospatially calibrated tiles and dense temporal stacks for immediate use in monitoring and assessing landscape change. Each ARD tile consists of top of atmosphere reflectance, brightness temperature, surface reflectance, and pixel quality assessment information. Additionally, Landsat ARD are the foundational data for generating applications-ready science data products of the land surface (e.g., surface temperature and burned area) that can be used to assess landscape resiliency and vulnerability to change associated with natural processes, land management policies, and land use practices.

The purpose of this session will be to describe the Landsat ARD product and outline the future roadmap for a new suite of Landsat science data products.

Joint session between the Semantic Web cluster and Drone Cluster: Applying semantic tech to sUAS data
This joint session will continue the work being done at the upcoming DC VOCamp (Vocabulary Camp) in November. Members of the Drone Cluster attending VOCamp will begin outlining an ontology design pattern for the metadata needed science data generated by sUAS will satisfy FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable). Outcomes from the VOCamp will be presented for community discussion, followed by an interactive workshop to gather Drone Cluster and Semantic Tech Committee input on the ontology design pattern and terminology, and to plan next steps. Ideally we would like to conclude this session with a set of terms to be posted to YAMZ for broader community review.

Enhancing discovery and use of climate resilience solutions through provenance, text analytics, visualization, and semantics
The socioeconomic value and benefit of Earth science data, information, and knowledge (DIKW) could be better realized and more evident, when machine-facilitated methods are developed that allow for enhanced discovery and reuse of climate resilience solutions. These solutions are becoming more relevant, as the public becomes increasingly aware of the importance of “decreasing vulnerability by increasing resilience,” one of the objectives of NOAA’s Weather-Ready Nation initiative. The U.S. Climate Resilience Toolkit (US CRT) is an essential resource for documenting climate resilience use cases. The goal of the documentation is to develop a cohesive package of data, tools, and information, so that other communities can re-purpose the solutions contained in those use cases.


This session will explore a number of thought-experiments on “what-ifs,” applied to a hypothetical future version of the US CRT that is enabled by various technologies.
* What if we document traceable resilience solutions as knowledge graphs that can be used by automated reasoners to repurpose a resilience solution for other contexts (e.g., for another location, a related climate stressor, a related climate impact; using related observations, related models, related policy instrument, etc.)?
* What if we crowd-source the contribution of these knowledge graphs with the use of web-based editors that tap into existing ontologies to reduce duplication of concepts?
* What if we design a knowledge graph editor modeled after the Open Science Framework that implements essential open science concepts like attribution, citation, collaboration, unique identifiers, and project forking; from which we could generate metrics to assess the utility of data, information, and applications?
* What if we apply feature-extraction and machine learning algorithms to trawl the ecosystem of climate resilience knowledge graphs, to produce visualizations that could be used to answer user queries? Could the resultant metrics be used by federal agencies to prioritize and justify their investments?
To help guide these thought-experiments, the session will utilize products that have been generated out of the “Data to Decisions for Climate Resilience” and the “Agriculture and Climate” clusters.

Cognitive Computing: Building Relationships and Next Steps
An essential step to recognizing and utilizing the capacity of cognitive computing for curation and mediation of Earth science data is to facilitate sustained dialogue among different stakeholder groups. As we hear about perspectives, definitions, and approaches to cognitive computing in the first proposed session on cognitive computing, the second session will take on the subject of encouraging collaboration and explore developing a community of practice in this area.

ESIP provides a great mechanism for interested parties to begin planning cohesive, longer term, group engagement and community development. In this session we will plan for future meetings that will bring together the cognitive scientists, computer scientists, data professionals and define any additional collaborators that should be included in this dialogue. We seek participants to bring ideas for future activities, methods for communication, and venues for interaction.

ESIP as a knowledge and data commons
As a continuation of ESIP's internal conversation about commoning (breakout in Summer of 2016, plenary speaker Winter 2017, workshop Summer 2018) this breakout will discuss how the growing corpus of open Earth science and data—as public goods provided by agencies, or as science objects with open licenses—can be optimized for reuse through stewardship practices that can be called "commoning. " Commoning describes the governance of shared pool resources by a self-governed collective of users, who want to gain the most value from these while guaranteeing the future open availability of these resources. In many ways ESIP has long acted like an Earth data commons, now it is time to understand more fully how to maintain a knowledge and data commons in a world dominated by open competitive marketplaces. The larger picture of commoning in the academy and the need for civic trusts will also be covered.

SWEET Ontology Suite v3: Development, Alignments and Use Cases
Version 3.0.0 of the Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology (SWEET) Ontology suite was recently released under new community management and governance by ESIP’s Semantic Technologies Committee. SWEET is a highly modular ontology suite with ~6000 concepts in ~200 separate ontologies covering Earth system science. SWEET is a mid-level ontology and consists of nine top-level concepts that can be used as a foundation for domain-specific ontologies that extend these top-level SWEET components. SWEET’s own domain-specific ontologies, which extend the upper level ontologies, can provide users interested in further developing a particular domain with a solid set of concepts to get started. SWEET ontologies are written in W3C Turtle; the Terse RDF Triple Language and are publicly available under the Apache License v2.0. This presentation will provide a three-pronged update on (i) advances in SWEET since its transition from NASA JPL over to the open source, community-driven management and governance structure now overseen by the ESIP Semantic Technologies Committee, (ii) ongoing alignment activities with existing semantic technology resources such as the OBO Foundry collection, W3C SOSA/SSN, W3C PROV-O, etc., and (iii) uses of SWEET across old, new and unexpected domains including architecture, engineering and construction, provenance of science data product generation, search and information retrieval query expansion, article and text tagging, and a whole host more. This session aims to attract both new comers and experienced Geospatial and Spatiotemporal Ontology and Semantics enthusiasts. Attendees will leave with a significantly improved understanding of what SWEET currently is, what it hopes to become, and how one can use it for a wide variety of scenarios.

Tear down that wall! Crossing the communication boundary between your field and everyone else
You know you can write a great journal paper, and your colleagues assure you that your talks at professional meetings don’t (always) feel like “death by Powerpoint.” However, when you try to communicate the value of your contributions to folks outside your field, you find a lot of them don’t quite get it. If you’re interested in increasing the impact of your science by sharing it with a larger audience, here’s a place to start.

This session will explore some ways to share your science more broadly. We’ll show examples of various tools and trainings available (e.g., AGU’s Kudos(1), AAAS’s Communicating Science Resources(2), and others), look at some engaging examples (e.g., the film Chasing Coral(3), as well as others), and share personal journeys to improved science communication. All levels of experience are welcome; our goal is to help everyone improve.

Tentative agenda:
  • Five main science communication goals (LuAnn Dahlman lead)
  • Using plain language to broaden your reach (Denise Hills lead)
  • Memorable moments: Bridgin the connection between fine arts, liberal arts, and science arts (Christine White lead)

If you'd like your abstract to be used as an example for how to convert a scientific abstract into a plain language summary, please bring it with you to the session, or email it to one of the presentators ahead.

Since 2015, United Nations Environment has been working with experts in knowledge representation technologies to map the complex interlinkages between the key entities referred to by the Sustainable Development Goals, their targets, and indicators. This semantic map - the SDG Interface Ontology - will allow information products from a multitude of sources and stakeholders to be linked to a common semantic layer. Further, it facilitates the disambiguation of terms with multiple meanings across disciplines, regions, and cultural contexts. This is critical to coherently linking information, data, and knowledge about sustainable development, as it helps preserve consistent interpretation long after content providers are no longer able to guide further usage. The technologies used to create this map are native to the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies Foundry and Library (obofoundry.org), and are currently being aligned to the ESIP-coordinated Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology (SWEET; sweet.jpl.nasa.gov). This session will briefly introduce the importance and value of this alignment, with emphasis on its interface to the SDGs and UN information systems. Most importantly, we will show how experts in any field can ensure that their knowledge is represented in this endeavour, laying the foundation for cross-domain collaboration and informatics.

EarthArXiv: A use case for ESIP's work in data citation, semantics, and open access
EarthArXiv is an Earth science preprint system, which is being supported by ESIP and the Center for Open Science. A preprint is the publication of research prior to peer review, along with associated data and software, and has been shown to make science more efficient. EarthArXiv has received over 100 submissions in just two weeks of operations. While an immediate benefit to Earth science research, this uptake also brings to the forefront issues in data citation and open access publishing along with a need for semantics. This working session aims to bring together a broad cross-section of ESIP interested in these topics. The background and goals of EarthArXiv will be presented along with emerging open challenges. We will discuss how EarthArXiv can serve as an application area for existing work within ESIP. We will also look to form new collaborations to address other emerging use cases.

Formulation of a White Paper on Earth Science Data Uncertainty
The Information Quality Cluster (IQC) conducted two sessions at the Summer 2017 ESIP Meeting on the topic of uncertainty as it relates to data and information quality. The first was a plenary session followed by the second, a break-out session. One of the key action items recommended during the break-out session was that a clear understanding of the concept of uncertainty, and its communication to users was essential, and that the IQC should develop a white paper on this topic. The purpose of the session being proposed here is to follow-up on that action with some further discussion leading to the formulation of such a white paper. The session will consist of a brief recapitulation of the outcomes from the summer meeting, presentations on statistical and scientific perspectives on uncertainty, subtopic breakouts and regrouping for formulation of the definition (both mathematical and conceptual) and recommended usages of uncertainty (crossing all Earth Science science disciplines and ranging from quantification to characterization) that will provide the foundation for the white paper and planning further actions. Although the scientific element of the white paper discussion intends to cover interdisciplinary Earth sciences, the primary emphasis will be based on use cases involving data, sensors, and retrieval algorithms from spaceborne Earth observing systems.
Agenda:
•Introduction – David Moroni (10 min)
•Panelist Presentations (30 min):
–Jonathan Hobbs (JPL)
–Jessica Matthews (NOAA/NCEI/CICS-NC)
–Robert Wolfe (NASA/GSFC)
•Panelist Q&A and Discussion (15 min)
•Focus Group Breakout and Discussions (20 min)
•Focus Group Lightning Summary (15 min) –Provides recommendations for White Paper topics.

Cloud Onboarding
In 2015, Gartner reported Cloud and big data are no longer hype [Gartner, 2015].  Recognizing its many benefits and maturity, organizations are formulating strategies on incorporating Cloud Computing into their daily operation.  One common mistake companies make is thinking Cloud is just another hosting environment, that it is nothing more than moving applications from existing data centers.  This misunderstanding prevents organizations from developing more cost-effective strategy to fully utilize the Cloud environment.  In a recent InfoWorld publication [Kralj, 2017] on successful Cloud migration, the author identified Network and Connectivity, Security, Monitoring and Operation, and Authentication and Authorization as the four key areas in successful Cloud transformation.  While cost is the primary key factors in Cloud migration, effective refactoring and re-architecting existing applications will help significantly reduce the overall Cloud usage cost and to better leverage solutions and services available on the Cloud.  This session invites speakers to come share their experience, lessons learned, and strategy for making effective Cloud migration.

Operational Readiness Levels: Measuring the Benefit of Trusted Data for End Users
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.

Moving a Successful Incubator Project into a Sustained Science Gateway
NSF has funded a multi-year project to help "incubator" projects providing services and information to research scientists into sustainable projects called "Science Gateways". Education about how that can be done is being provided by the Science Gateway Community Institute (SGCI) via Science "BootCamps." This session will provide an overview of the work of the SCGI generally and the approach taken in the Science Bootcamps, but the intention is to discuss experiences that people have had (or are having) with the process of moving from incubator to production using a number of incubator projects as case studies including the ESIP Data Management Training (DMT) Clearinghouse, projects coming through ESIP's incubator Lab (formerly known as the ESIP Products and Services Testbed), DataONE, and others.

Information Quality - Progress on Many Fronts
The Information Quality Cluster (IQC) has been active over the last several years with the following goals as expressed in the Strategic Plan: 1. Bring together people from various disciplines to assess aspects of quality of Earth science data; 2. Establish and publish baseline of standards and best practices for data quality for adoption by inter-agency and international data providers; and 3. Build a framework for consistent capture, harmonization, and presentation of data quality for the purposes of climate change studies, Earth science and applications. As a part of accomplishing these goals, the IQC has been following progress in topics related to information quality in various organizations through either direct member participation, organizing open sessions at science and informatics conferences outside of ESIP (e.g., AGU), or a slate of invited speakers at monthly telecons. The purpose of this session is to report on the IQC’s progress and collect ideas for future work and collaboration.

Creating a safe, equitable space for innovation and leadership
We all know that ESIP is at the forefront of making Earth science data matter. But, ESIP can be (and often is) a leader in other ways, including how we do science and how we support those who do science.
Unfortunately, science has not always been a supportive, accepting environment. More and more bad behaviour is being brought to light. How can we get ahead of this bad behaviour, and more importantly, exemplify fair and equitable behaviour? Further, how do we inspire inclusiveness, growth, synergy and positive change?
ESIP is a harassment-free zone, and ESIP’s Code of Conduct (1) is a great start. SESSION GOAL: By exploring and welcoming other experiences, resources, and ideas, ESIP can be a model of a new place where these previously accepted behaviours become anathema.


(1) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nlAeEKF9Q-mGmdb3CYMkOiCn4c4w2WXaLNB21NWW8ww/edit


Tentative agenda:


  • Quick review of ESIP Code of Conduct
  • Overview of exisiting practical guidelines
  • Other experiences, resources, and ideas
  • What's next?
