Welcome to the Summer Meeting for the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)! The 2017 theme is Strengthening Ties Between Observations and User Communities. The theme is based on one of the goals in the 2015 - 2020 ESIP Strategic Plan, which provides a framework for ESIP’s activities over the next three years.
Standards are the corner-stone of interoperability. As we begin integration of sensors directly into a network of data, providing fully-described metadata becomes a requirement to enable assessment and assurance of data quality. This workshop provides hands-on introduction to tools and best-practices that enable development of resources that can operate within the standards-based, community-adopted frameworks of the Open-Geospatial Consortium and the W3C Semantic Web.
