Solving data and model integration challenges with Communities of Practice: The Sediment Experimentalist Network (SEN) and the USGS Community for Data Integration (CDI)
Abstract:
Active research in Earth surface dynamics is increasingly interdisciplinary and collaborative, making it necessary to find and integrate data and models from many different sources. Discovering and integrating data and models from disparate sources is often a time-consuming and near-impossible process. Scientific communities of practice such as the Sediment Experimentalist Network (SEN) and the USGS Community for Data Integration (CDI) help users to make collaborative connections and solve data and model integration challenges. These communities accelerate the discovery of existing data and tools, expose common questions and answers to a wide audience, and collectively tackle shared community challenges such as standards for description and integration. This poster presents outcomes from SEN and CDI that may be useful for the Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System (CSDMS).
