NASA's Earth Science Data and Information Systems (ESDIS) Standards Coordination Office (ESCO) conducts reviews of proposed standards, practices, and technical information relevant to the ESDIS mission. Documents are reviewed as part of the ESDIS Project's standards process. Approved documents are published and listed on the Standards Requirements and References page.
ESCO is conducting a review of <document name here>
SAMPLE Intro - This document defines the contents of data, metadata and associated documentation to be preserved by NASA’s Earth Science Division (ESD). The purpose of the document is to identify all the content items that need to be preserved to ensure their availability to support future investigations in long-term scientific research. The focus of this document is on the contents (i.e., “what” and “why”) and not on the implementation or representation (i.e., “how”) of the content items. Guidelines for implementation (i.e., “how”) are provided in a separate companion document which is also under review.
All review comments are due by TBD
ESDIS uses the Jama online document review system to collect community comments on proposed standards, practices and technical information submitted to ESCO for review. Offline reviews, where you download the document and review questions, then respond via email, are also accepted. Quick instructions for each are below.
Request Jama access to these documents by contacting the ESCO at esco-staff@lists.nasa.gov. Please include your Earthdata login username if you have one.
The role of the ESDIS Standards Coordination Office (ESCO) is to conduct a review of this document by soliciting comments from a cross section of the Earth Science community.
Reviewers are invited to read the document and answer the questions provided on the review web page. The ESCO recognizes that not all reviewers will be familiar with all of the content of the document. Reviewers are welcome to review those parts of the document that they have experience with. You only need to answer questions applicable to you. Additional comments are welcome.
SAMPLE Intro - This document is intended primarily for data producers and data distributors, however data users may have insights and opinions about the content of this document as well.
There is a new companion document, also under current public review, ESDS-RFC-042 Preservation Content Implementation Guidance. Please consider reading (and reviewing) that document for further context and guidance.
After reviewing this RFC for <insert topic>, please rate the following questions on a scale of 1 to 5 where 1 = very unlikely, 2 = unlikely, 3 = neutral, 4 = likely, and 5 = very likely. (Detailed responses are also welcome.)
Please answer the following demographic questions to help us ensure responses are received from target audiences and affiliations for this RFC.
The benefit of using the Jama system is that you can easily comment on specific portions of the document and can see comments provided by others.
Review comments may be submitted via the Earthdata Jama document review system. If you already have access to the NASA Earthdata Jama system, please contact ESCO at esco-staff@lists.nasa.gov and let us know your Earthdata Login username so we can add to you the list of reviewers.
