Assessment of the Usefulness and Availability of NASA’s Earth and Space Science Mission Data

Appendix C
Questionnaire to the Active Archives, Data Centers, and Data Services

Information Requested from the Space Science and Earth Science Facilities

  • Number of unique users in FY95 and FY00.

  • Actual FY00 budget and projections to FY05.

  • Total number of staff (including active archive and Civil Servants) in FY00.

  • Volume of holdings in FY00 and projected holdings to 2005.

  • List of instruments providing data between now and FY05.

  • List of data holdings as of January 2001.

  • Current membership and the last 2 reports of your User Working Group.

  • Metrics and/or statistics on users, holdings, publications that cite NASA data, etc.

  • Results of user surveys (if any).

  • Who is processing/will process the data from each instrument (active archive, science computing facilities, other)?

  • Who are the current users and what user groups should be served in the future?

  • How is the satisfaction of current users assessed?

  • How are new user groups identified and entrained?

  • What are you doing to make data: (1) accessible and (2) useable to nonscientists?

  • How do you determine how useful your data has been to: (1) scientists, (2) private sector companies, (3) policy makers, (4) educators, and (5) the general public?

  • How do you or will you decide how to retire any data sets?

Additional Information Requested of the Space Science Active Facilities

  • Brief history of the center (e.g., 2–3 sentences on when it was formed, how it evolved)

  • Host institution

  • Disciplines served by the center

  • Mission of the center

Additional Information Requested of the Distributed Active Archive Centers

  • For what instruments are you using the ECS? Is the ECS working to specification?
