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.

Bridging Data Silos: Scaling Digital Resource Cards and Iterative Governance for Soil Data

Wednesday July 29, 2026 4:00pm - 5:30pm CDT

Location TBA

Sign-in & Notes

This session reviews and solicits feedback on digital resource cards that describe data holdings/repositories, APIs, semantic resources, and related organizations — specifically cards describing agents (organizations, labs, people), semantics (vocabularies, code lists, ontologies), data holdings and APIs, and publications. These cards capture what data are described by whom, who governs data and semantic resources, and how governance is communicated. Ongoing work from the Soil Ontology and Informatics Cluster, this session gathers feedback and incorporates it into future iterations. The session closes with a brief discussion on how the resources will be governed and maintained.

Audience
ESIP clusters or members of partner organizations who maintain semantic resources or knowledge bases of data holdings and repositories; participants interested in knowledge management and community co-production
