EarthCube Community Engagement (David Arctur)
http://workspace.earthcube.
The EarthCube Test Enterprise Governance award will implement an agile approach to engage multiple, broad, and diverse geo and cyber science communities to determine an appropriate governing system for EarthCube. In Year 1, three governance scenarios will evaluate and choose a governance framework to be tested in Year 2. This will be coordinated by a Secretariat to carry out project management duties, an Assembly of seven EarthCube stakeholder groups to evaluate potential governance models, and crowdsourcing mechanisms to review and vet governance models with the broad EarthCube community. In Year 2, a prototype demonstration governance framework will facilitate community convergence on a reference architecture, procedures for standards, and coordination among emerging technical elements.
Encyclopedia of Life (Robert Corrigan)
What is EOL? Information and pictures of all species known to science. Our Vision: Global access to knowledge about life on Earth.Our Mission: To increase awareness and understanding of living nature through an Encyclopedia of Life that gathers, generates, and shares knowledge in an open, freely accessible and trusted digital resource.
