This presentation, originally given during a webinar on February 22, 2023, provides an overview of plenaries and breakout sessions from the 2023 January Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Meeting held online from January 23-27, 2023. The meeting theme was Opening Doors to Open Science.

This presentation, originally given during a webinar on February 11th, 2022, provides an overview of plenary and breakout sessions from the 2022 Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) January Meeting held online (January 18th-21st, 2022). The meeting theme was Data for All People: From Generation to Use to Understanding.

ESIP has rich ontologies and semantic technologies for the Earth Sciences, however the space sciences are increasingly inextricable from advancing the science in our community. There is a marked lack of semantic technology maturity to integrate the space-based perspective. We launched a new initiative to address one of the vital components of improving semantic technologies in the space sciences: glossary harmonization. We describe those efforts, including important artifacts that reach all of ESIP: new approaches for cultivating collective virtual collaboration and curricular materials for performing glossary harmonization. Finally, we will discuss the role this work plays in broader activities, including: 1) the NASA Heliophysics KNOWledge (Helio-KNOW) project; 2) the NASA Center for HelioAnalytics; and 3) the notion of an Earth and Space Science Knowledge Commons. This presentation was given during the 2022 ESIP January meeting held virtually in January 2022.

A look at the trends and opportunities for artificial intelligence and machine learning in the space and Earth sciences. This was presented at the 2021 Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Winter Meeting held virtually in January 2021.

Our technological and physical expansion into space exemplifies the growing interconnections between Earth and the space environment. The inseparability of the space environment from Earth and life on it reveals cracks and inadequacies in our data and knowledge infrastructure to integrate the different domains. The key to a flourishing community of Earth and space research is in improved knowledge systems (ways of representing our information). We will highlight a few efforts toward improved knowledge representation systems, emphasizing the importance of thinking in graphs/networks, and spark a discussion toward a framework to address the asymmetries: a knowledge commons [McGranaghan et al., 2021].ReferencesMcGranaghan, R., Klein, S.
