ESDIS Initiatives: Next Steps• A coherent web presence
– The DAACs more clearly represented as cooperating elements of a system

ESDIS Initiatives: Next Steps Coherent Web Context
• NASA Earth Science Data Systems are a large and continuing investment in science data management. Very Successful – based on customer satisfaction and product distribution trends.
• Websites are the front door to our data and services for users (science, mission, applications, programmatic).
• How do we present ourselves to be a coherent system of systems while remaining flexible to integrate new missions and technologies?
• We want to preserve what we currently do very well while moving ESDIS and the DAACs toward more clearly being represented as cooperating elements of a system
Inspiration Examples
Lesson: Content management system helped unify the message of National Geographic across 20+ departments/branches

Lesson: Hosting and maintenance of web applications can be separated from the user interface and the UI can still be immersive and useful for users(aside from the whole social networking)

ESDIS Coherent Web First Step
• ESDIS Web site Redesign: under development; scheduled for an initial delivery in June 2011 (currently http://esdis.eosdis.nasa.gov/)
• Consolidation of ESDIS, ECHO, DAAC
Alliance, EMS, Outreach and ESDSWG. User Registration will be applied to the new site but is not considered part of the redesign. – Provide a web content
management system allowing for content posting/ownership by each of the aforementioned groups.

OutreachOutreach
• A high-level navigation bar (top hat) will be developed to allow for easy navigation of the major components and resources EOSDIS provides
• Subsequent navigation levels will be customizable allowing the ‘top hat’ to be implemented by DAACs within their environments and for their discipline areas.

Leverage (Remote/Local) Services and Presented as a Coherent System of Systems

Goals• Present EOSDIS as a coherent yet transparent system
of systems by leveraging SOAs provided by DAACs, ECHO, GCMD, EMS, User Reg…. To enable new missions, technologies and Earth science partnerships
– Users navigate the system/resources without needing to know how/who is providing each service.
– DAAC web sites and services exist, but use the same high-level navigation, nomenclature and other functionalities so users are familiar when they arrive.
• More than just a website or portal
– An active and immersive user experience leveraging existing and future Web Services (e.g. W*S, SOAP, RESTful) into a seamless package – search, subset, visualize and deliver data in one session with one username and password while invoking multiple remotely hosted tools
– Lay the foundation for the Earth Science Collabatory – Cloud capable
• Fresh and continually updated and coordinated content
