Welcome to the Winter 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.
The theme of the 2017 NOAA Environmental Data Management Workshop is "Making NOAA's Data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable for Societal Benefit." The Purpose of the workshop is to build on past work in environmental data management at NOAA by highlighting progress, identifying issues, fostering discussions, and determining where new technologies can be applied. All NOAA employees and contractors are welcome, including data producers, data managers, metadata developers, archivists, researchers, grant issuers, policy developers, program managers, and others. EDMW is expected to include an Opening Plenary, concurrent Breakout Sessions, a session of fast-paced Ignite Talks, and a Closing Plenary.
