Study Teams Clause Samples

Study Teams. ColumbiaGrid shall endeavor to post on the Website, not later than ten business days prior to any meeting of a Study Team, information regarding any potential solutions to address any Order 1000 Need(s) to be discussed at such meeting.

Study Teams. To achieve its objective, the SEEDS Formulation Team has set up study teams to investigate specific subjects of concern to SEEDS and make recommendations. Currently there are seven study teams with members from government agencies, universities, and industry. The seven study teams and their tasks are: • Standards for Near-Term Missions. The tasks of the team include considering ESE’s near-term systematic measurement missions; recommending science data, metadata, and interoperability standards for applications; and incorporating advice and experience of mission science community in making recommendations. • Levels of Service, Benchmarks and Cost Estimation. The study team will work with the research and applications communities to develop the minimum and recommended levels of service for core data sets and services required from ESE data management service providers. It will determine, from benchmarking, what data management services should cost, and develop a capability to perform end- to-end cost estimates for ESE data management services. • Standards and Interfaces Processes. This study team will define a process for SEEDS to develop, adopt, evolve, and maintain standards and interfaces for data and information systems and services across the Earth Science Enterprise. The process should capitalize on the methods and experience of existing relevant data systems standards bodies (e.g., ISO, OGC) and NASA programs (e.g., EOSDIS, ESIP Federation). • Data Life Cycle and Long-Term Archive: The tasks of this study team are to ensure safe handling of SEEDS-era data products as they migrate from data providers to active archive and long-term archive (LTA), even as numerous individuals and institutions take responsibility for the product during its life-cycle. • Reference Architecture and Reuse Assessment: This study team tries to answer the following questions in its study. Should NASA/SEEDS invest in a software & component reuse effort? Should NASA/SEEDS invest in developing a reference architecture? If NASA/SEEDS should invest in either of these efforts (i.e., reuse and/or a reference architecture), what is the best method to assure effective and accountable community involvement, what is the best technical approach? Criteria for judging in priority order are cost savings over time; increased flexibility/responsiveness to new missions, research, and applications use of NASA data; and increase in effective and accountable community participation. • Metrics Plann...
