This listening and discussion session will focus on NOAA data management related projects and use case examples that highlight ongoing efforts and demonstrate existing success stories for those already working towards the NOAA Data Strategy’s objectives and priority implementation plan actions. Topical discussions will help to streamline the implementation of the NOAA Data Strategy and ensure cross NOAA coordination. Top priority topics include data leadership, governance, open data plans, data licensing, collaboration, capabilities and capacity building. The goal of these sessions are to hear your ideas, address any questions, and learn more about your projects that may overlap with these priority actions.


Presentation slides are available here.
