From page 49...
... Similarly, early science results presented by SWT members would advertise NPP and NPOESS CDR applications and rapidly expand the science user base. The SWT perspective would be critical for quality assessment and validation efforts, including in situ measurement comparisons when feasible.

From page 50...
... It would disseminate expertise on key CDRs and serve to relieve agency responsibility for documentation by publishing in the peer-reviewed scientific literature. The committee anticipates that the CDA SWT would require a blend of expertise: Archive hardware experts; Archive software experts (database systems, statistical methods for large datasets)
