Meeting Location: Commonwealth B
Short introduction describing the scope of the group and if any previous activities:
The Earth, space, and environmental science communities are developing, through multiple international efforts, both general and domain-specific leading practices for data management, infrastructure development, vocabularies, and common data/digital services. This Interest Group will work towards coordinating and harmonizing these efforts to reduce possible duplication, increase efficiency, share use cases, and promote partnerships and adoption in the community.

3. Cohort of Trustworthy Repositories for Earth, Space and Environmental Sciences
A cohort of data repositories has been assembled to apply for CoreTrustSeal certification as part of the American Geophysical Union Coalition Enabling FAIR Data Project. CoreTrustSeal certification demonstrates to repository users and funders that they have been evaluated by an independent authority and endorsed for their trustworthiness.
