Abstract Submission Deadline – January 7, 2015

This session explores practical approaches for understanding and furthering many aspects of data stewardship such as defining elements of data quality; tracking provenance, workflows, added value, and credit through the data lifecycle; scaling of complex processes; and ultimately making scientific data more broadly available,  discoverable, and usable for a larger and more diverse user community. This is explored through the lens of cyberGIS, which has emerged from the realm of the desktop and the isolated, on-premise server to that of more pervasive, distributed computing, including high-performance grid computing and the cloud. Crucial to CyberGIS as an engine of data stewardship is its evolving capability to natively interoperate with a range of data formats, to digest their key metadata and spatio-temporal boundaries, and to expose and disseminate GIS services, data feeds, and related information products. Papers on these GIS topics are welcome.  Detailed information on how to submit an abstract can be found at http://egu2015.eu//abstract_management/how_to_submit_an_abstract.html.
