The Boulder Earth and Space Science Informatics Group (BESSIG) aims to galvanize and support networking and collaboration among Earth and Space Science data users, data providers, data managers, and middleware providers, especially those in the Boulder, Colorado area. Topical areas include issues of scientific data representation, management, discovery, access, analysis, visualization, citation, transparency, and the infrastructure to support those efforts. The end goal is to improve the usage and thus the value of scientific data, thereby improving our understanding of our Earth and its systems.
Our next meeting is on Wednesday, May 28, at 3:30 PM. Our speaker is Heather Ryan who will present "Evaluating File Format Endangerment Levels and Factors for the Creation of a File Format Endangerment Index". More information about the May meeting is available at this May Meeting Announcement. 
Note that we have a new venue, The Gondolier, in the Meadows Shopping Center.
