International Earth, space, and environmental coordination of data and software management efforts

The international Earth, space, environmental sciences informatics community has recently formed a new Research Data Alliance Community of Practice. Here we are focused on improving data and software management and sharing practices that result in our researchers having access to community informatics resources that support their research.  This community of practice will provide a place for teams and organizations in the Earth, space, and environmental research ecosystem to coordinate on common challenges, share information, review and consider RDA recommendations, seek leading practices, and work towards finding approaches to discipline-specific challenges and issues around data and software management and sharing. The international Earth, space, and environmental community is broad and includes researchers, data managers, data curators, institutions, instrument creators and manufacturers, software developers, tools, repositories, journal editors and more. An RDA community of practice is where those with common interests can collaborate on complex challenges that need multiple stakeholders to work through the layers of a solution. It is a place where projects can be highlighted and shared for the benefit of building collaboration and connection.     Join us for this session and learn more about how we envision supporting the many global data and software management efforts.
