centers, repositories, archives, and other data facilities and systems
strive to offer trustworthy capabilities and services that enable
sharing and long-term use of open data. A variety of such facilities and
systems have been operating around the world, serving user communities
for many scientific disciplines. Upon acquiring data from various
missions, projects and/or studies and in diverse formats, data product
and service developers assess, manage, curate, process, integrate,
package, organize, describe, and disseminate data, to facilitate
widespread and continuing data sharing and use. Providing capabilities
for sharing open data fosters new studies and new data products and
services. The TRUST Principles (Transparency, Responsibility, User
Community, Sustainability, and Technology), certification, and policy
development can contribute to system improvements as well as increased
user expectations. Presentations describe approaches and opportunities
to improve systems, capabilities, and services for enabling current and
future uses of Earth and space science data products and services<span style="color:black">. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> </span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>Primary Section/Focus Group: </b><span style="color:black">Earth and Space Science Informatics </span></p><p><u>Primary Convener</u>: <b>Robert Downs</b>, <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:black">Columbia University of New York, Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN), Palisades NY</span> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><u>Conveners</u>: </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>H.
