across disciplines. You The EarthCube Strategy DataOne Unidata CUASHI An alternative approach to respond to daunting science and cyberinfrastructure challenges NCAR IRIS IEDA EarthCube is an outcome and a process OOI EarthCube: next generation CI to transform the conduct of geosciences The process must Engage all stakeholders: Geosciences end-users Geosciences and CI facilities CI and Computer Science specialists EarthCube built on existing resources, understanding that different geosciences communities are not uniformly served Build EarthCube iteratively, with community input and assessment in yearly intervals

FY13 Themes: Engage Stakeholders Geoscientists Geosciences Facilities Industry Academic Researchers Governance Computer Scientists Architecture CI Experts Builders CI Resources Community Engagement Students Geo-ed Resource Leveraging Geosciences Cyberinfrastructure Data Providers EarthCube Amendment I March 26 deadline Test Enterprise Governance 1 award; ~2yrs; $2m-$3m EarthCube Research Coordination Networks 4-6 awards; 2yrs; $300k Governance

Community Engagement Governance Governance Test Enterprise Governance Two stage process 1. Facilitate the creation of a terms of reference engaging the appropriate organizations and people 2. Demonstrate the terms of reference Coordinate, organize and set priorities for a complex set of activities that will change over time http://www.nsf.gov/geo/earthcube/docs/EarthCubeGovernanceFrame work.pdf http://www.nsf.gov/geo/earthcube/docs/EarthCubeGovernanceRoad map.pdf Research Coordination Networks Community Community Engagement Engagement Planning activity for geosciences communities Shared resources Representative plans for needed CI Data/CI standards Multi-disciplinary is preferred Communication and Participation Required Not designed for defined groups to plan or build specific CI RCN Geoscientists

Steering Committee; Coordination Activities; Collaborations RCN Output EarthCube Amendment II May 22 deadline Building Blocks 4-6 awards; 2yrs; up to $2m Conceptual Designs 3-5 awards; 2yrs; $300k Resource Leveraging Architecture Resource Resource Leveraging Leveraging Building Blocks Initial integration of current resources Input from EC, end-users, architecture Next Next Building Building Blocks Blocks Stage

Stage 2 Outcomes Demo utility to geosciences communities within 24 months How does the approach extend and fit into ecosystem Proposals must Have credible links to end-users geosciences communities not just a subset Motivate how the solution might be broadly applied across ALL geosciences community Resource Resource Leveraging Leveraging Building Blocks Serving more than one domain and recognized community organizations Not all cyberinfrastructure projects are appropriate for this opportunity. What do you do? CONTACT YOUR PROGRAM DIRECTOR Several opportunities for those committed to participating in the spirit of EarthCube. Architecture Architecture Conceptual Designs Initial planning for Enterprise Architecture Networks Communities

Compute, Stogare Software CI Architecture Teams Understand the landscape of existing resources Consider innovative designs for an evolving system Output Conceptual Design Reports Engage end users Presented to other EarthCubers Discussion about different approaches Phased Approach How Will It All Fit Together: Phased Approach CommunityRun Status Assessment NSF Review Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Input into Governance Conceptual Design Reports Design revisions Terms of Reference Building Block output

Gaps/ Missing Pieces Initial interactions bet groups RCN interaction Building Block development Priorities Enterprise Governance How Will It All Fit Together: Participation Participation is a requirement for each award. Managing this requirement Understand there is uncertainty Does your project organization accommodate meetings, other interactions? How well do you understand end-users and the groups that serve them?
