We are a home for Earth science data and computing professionals. Our sessions bring together the community for hands-on, interdisciplinary deep dives as we explore "Bridging Divides: Data, Technology, Community" this year. Learn more about this theme on the ESIP Meetings page.

Session and plenary recordings will be published on the ESIP YouTube Channel.
Wednesday July 29, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm CDT
Metadata curation deals with many processes that can be substantially accelerated through AI, including selecting relevant terms from large controlled vocabularies, drafting descriptions, and extracting basic information from resources being described. This session brings together challenges, works in progress, and successes from several NASA sciences on incorporating AI techniques into curation workflows. Part 1 features presentations from all five NASA science areas — Heliophysics, Astrophysics, Earth Science, Planetary Science, and Biological and Physical Sciences — balanced with discussion for attendees to learn from others' work and collaboratively incorporate that progress into their own curation workflows for data, software, and other science resources.

Audience
ESIP Semantic Technologies Committee members; ESIP Data Stewardship and Machine Learning Cluster members; curators and data stewards in any science looking for new methods; repository managers seeking to streamline metadata workflows
