dc.description.abstractKnowledge about the quality of data and metadata is important to support informed decisions on the (re)use of individual datasets and is an essential part of the ecosystem that supports open science. Quality assessments reflect the reliability and usability of data and need to be consistently curated, fully traceable, and adequately documented, as these are crucial for sound decision and policy-making efforts that rely on data. Quality assessments also need to be consistently represented and readily integrated across systems and tools to allow for improved sharing of information on quality at the dataset level for individual quality attribute or dimension. Although the need for assessing the quality of data and associated information is well recognized, methodologies for an evaluation framework and presentation of resultant quality information to end users may not have been comprehensively addressed within and across disciplines. Global interdisciplinary domain experts have come together to systematically explore needs, challenges and impacts of consistently curating and representing quality information through the entire lifecycle of a dataset. This paper describes the findings, calls for community action to develop practical guidelines, and outlines community recommendations for developing such guidelines. Community practical guidelines will allow for global access and harmonization of quality information at the level of individual Earth science datasets and support open science.en_US
dc.description.sponsorshipThe virtual pre-ESIP workshop held on July 13, 2020 was sponsored by ESIP with support from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The technological and infrastructural support during the preparation and conduct of the workshop was invaluable. In particular, we thank Megan Carter for supporting us throughout the workshop and providing helpful advice during the planning stage of the virtual workshop, and ESIP community fellow Alexis Garretson for supporting the ESIP SM20 report-out session. We thank all participants for attending the pre-ESIP workshop and the ESIP SM20 session and contributing to productive discussions during the live sessions and the two weeks of the ESIP SM20 period. Portions of this work have been extracted from Peng et al. (2020a), which reported on the workshop and the ESIP SM20 report-out session. The Australian participants would like to acknowledge the support of the Australian Research Data Commons.en_US
