Abstract :
Following the successful deployment of the Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS), NASA´s Earth Science Enterprise (ESE) is developing a Strategy for the Evolution of ESE Data Systems (SEEDS). SEEDS seeks to coordinate best practices in data system technologies throughout NASA´s Earth Science Enterprise, while deferring decisions on implementation to individual projects within the Enterprise. To meet these potentially contradictory goals of technology coordination and implementation independence, SEEDS would employ processes based on community moderated input, review, and consensus. This paper outlines a possible SEEDS standards process, as proposed by the authors and refined in a series of NASA-sponsored public workshops.
