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.
From the Research Data Alliance several services have emerged recently as components of a persistent ID (PID) enabled architecture. Recently funded testbed in the US assembles these component pieces into one place, and gives researchers the opportunity through a guided hands-on session to evaluate the services for adoption into their own projects.
