EarthCube 2011 Shows How Collaboration Is Changing Geoscience Research Question: When EarthCube exists and is widely useful in 2021, what does a day in the life of a scientist in your field look like? Think about your: Research, Teaching, Outreach, Workforce Development, and Interaction with the greater scientific community. Answer: I will still have some form of the tools I am using now, they will just be more integrated with one another and even more connected to many sources of information and data so I can create data stories (like I do now for AOL Government) with greater ease and frequency because the time for collection and communication is lessened and the time for analysis is maximized -- actually the analysis tool facilitates the collection and communication parts. Note: I also provided an example of the kind of agile analysis of Earth Science data that I had done earlier in the year for the Earth Science Federation Annual Conference. 4

EarthCube May 2015 Data Science Publications EarthCube All Hands Meeting: – Mission: Community-led cyberinfrastructure that will allow for unprecedented data sharing across the geosciences. – Keynotes: Two best practices examples. – Scope and Vision: Dynamic Earth: GEO Imperatives & Frontiers (2014) – Eva Zanzerkia, EarthCube Program Director: Question: How do we get the EarthCube domain scientists to work with open data? My Answer: Get data scientists to mine EarthCube GEO domain data like the NSF DataViz Hackathon for Polar CyberInfrastructure in early November 2014 and then organize a Meetup in February 2015 to discuss the results to the Federal Big Data Working Group Meetup. – Brand Niemann, Director and Senior Data Scientist, Semantic Community: NSF needs a Data.gov for GEO that its Big Data/Data Science grant projects can use. GEO needs a Data Science Data Publication Commons for its four domains: Earth, Oceans, Polar, and Atmosphere/Geospace like we have started here. 7

Conclusions and Recommendations Semantic Community uses a Semantic Wiki for Data Science Data Publications. The recent 2015 NIST Big Data Framework documents and use cases were produced as a Data Science Data Publication to address the “Holdren Memo.” Data Science Data Publications address most of the topics in the other All Hands Meeting sessions. This is a “win-win” for the EarthCube and Data Science Communities: – Domain Scientists get increased use and visibility of their data. – Data Scientists get access to data and subject matter expertise. The Federal Big Data Working Group will continue to data mine EarthCube Use Cases and Data Sets and produce Data Science Data Publications for its Meetups. This is Data-to-Knowledge-to-Action for Decision Making. 9
