> ESDSWG is faced with a new set of challenges
Among those challenges are:
  • Enabling flexibility within data systems to adapt to new data streams or to changes in current processing streams.
  • Assuring products flowing from processing streams meet the needs of the focus area science teams: scientists working in conjunction with data systems experts, and in consultation with their communities.
  • Identifying and creating interfaces that facilitate the flow of data to modeling efforts (e.g. carbon assimilation): one size does not fit all.
  • Enabling seamless hooks into data mining and high performance computing environments.
  • Evolving from past instrument-focused processing systems to measurement-oriented data systems within an interoperable framework that will help guide the flow of information and services, improve performance and access, be measurement focused, and be distributed geographically and logically.

    • Both established and future data systems must be able to support this new era. This work uses the lessons learned from existing systems and from the 2003 Formulation Studies to meet these challenges.

    Four Working Groups identified in the REASoN CAN were initiated to address issues of interest identified during Formulation. Go to the Working Groups Page for more information.
