Summary of the First Planetary Science Archive User Group Meeting (PSA-UG #1)

The first meeting of the Planetary Science Archive User Group (PSA-UG) took place on July 2-3, 2013, at ESAC. The agenda included discussions on additional PSA services, data workshops, user support, interoperability, and closing actions. Key tasks for the PSA-UG involve advising the European Space Agency (ESA) on future PSA development, representing scientific community interests, monitoring PSA activities, and participating in reviews. The meeting also outlined strategies for community engagement and feedback collection to enhance PSA utility and visibility.

  2. Agenda: Day 2 pm • Additional PSA services (D. Heather) • 13:30 Data workshops • 14:00 Additional user support • 14:15 Interoperability and IPDA involvement • 14:30 BREAK • Summary and closing actions • 15:15 Meeting summary / overview (D. Heather /All) • 15:45 Plans and actions (Chair) • 16:00 Next meeting (Chair / All) • 16:15 AOB (All) • 16:30 End of meeting • 17:00 Taxis depart ESAC for airport / Madrid

  3. Tasks The following outlines the tasks for which the PSA-UG shall be responsible: • Advise ESA on the future development of the PSA content, interfaces, documentation, compatibility with other planetary science archives and tools. • Act as a focus for the interests of the scientific community in the PSA and as an advocate for the PSA within that community. • Monitor the PSA activities to ensure they best meet the needs of the user community within the resources available. • Participate in any reviews of the PSA activities.

  4. Task achievement … ? The following outlines the tasks for which the PSA-UG shall be responsible: • Advise ESAfuture development = need UG judgement + inputs from community • Act as a focus for the interests of the scientific community = need inputs from community + visibility to community • advocate for the PSA = visibility to community • Monitor the PSA activities= homework for PSA-UG • Participate in any reviews= homework for PSA-UG • ….

  6. Visibility • Web page • Contacts of each Group Member • Usual dissemination channels: EuroPlanet mailing list, Planetary Exploration Newsletter (US) • Conferences and workshops: EPSC, EGU, ESA Booths at EGU or alike, AGU.. • Social media • Co-sponsorship of students… • RF + YGT + trainees + Faculty (ESAC/ESTEC) involvement? Action on Dave+Pedro • … • Topical data workshop? Not mission? E.g. solid planets / atmosphere? Cross-mission? Any use? • Data workshops & “rich” documentation (tutorials, screencasts, blogs, ) ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

  7. Advocacy • Mentioning PSA in talks/papers (action on PSA-UG members and their peers/close colleagues/students) • Find/implement a citation policy for PSA data (DOI? Like pangaea.de? ) and/or quoting papers as suggested on DATASET.CAT more visible/highlighted.. • Usual medias + students + colleagues/projects • … • PSA vs. PDS could shine/compete/attract through: • Interface streamlined using latest technology but with inputs from the different fields (we PSA-UG are happy to advise e..g on map issues or alike..) = specialized interface (advanced) build with planetary in mind and with technological heritage but not more than what is needed.. • Knowledge management + workshops + user feedback/forums/community building and MANTAINING (+ social media) + wikis ? Etc.? ESA UNCLASSIFIED – For Official Use

  9. Community/PSA inputs • Addressing community • Questionnaire ? Preparation? Distribution Europlanet? PSA users directory, if any? •  Questionnaire is useful but first we should look trustable (e.g. showing what’s in the pipeline wrt interface/gwt) • Addressing PSA • Collectinginputs from PSA-ers ?
