8. Assist Data Providers – more potential resources Task activities (Task Sheet, Work Plan Symposium) Pledged DataCORE list Koki’s list More expert inputs Prioritizing to work with providers (whom to work with next) –Eg. UNEP, WMO, GBIF, EU(Copernicus), Japan(DIAS), etc Need more precious evaluation and analysis on how the best brokering agreement with each providers (Eg. Metadata duplication with other providers, Service level, etc)
