Charge to the Data Products Working Group

The IRIS DMS product development effort aims to produce products beyond raw data that serve as the basis for research needs or end-use education and outreach material.  DMS products should not compete with the research community or duplicate current efforts by the community or other facilities or agencies.  The Data Products Working Group (DPWG) will propose, review and approve data products to be developed by the DMS.  This Working Group will be formed by the DMS Standing Committee and should include DMSSC, IRIS Core and EarthScope representation.  The DPWG will primarily interact with the product development staff at the DMC and external product development resources identified by the DMS.  The Working Group is charged with the following tasks:

Tasks

• Operate as a conduit to and from the research community regarding the DMS product development effort

• Review, approve and prioritize products to be developed by the DMS

• Propose products to be developed by the DMS

• Provide advice on the technical development and scientific merit of data products

• Provide recommendations and review proposals for Product Development Centers

• Assess the potential for integrated data products

• Evaluate changes in scope for the DMS product development effort
