| dc.description | EarthCube, established by the National Science Foundation (NSF), is envisioned to transform the conduct of research through the development of community-guided cyberinfrastructure for the Geosciences. EarthCube is intended to create a networked, knowledge management system that integrates Earth system and human dimensions data in an open, transparent, and inclusive manner. In order to achieve this vision, EarthCube requires broad community participation in concept, framework, and implementation, and must not be hindered by rigid preconceptions such as assuming one particular management or organizational structure. If successful, EarthCube may be a prototype for development of similar systems across other domain sciences as part of the NSF Cyberinfrastructure for the 21st Century (CIF21) initiative and related efforts nationally and internationally. During the spring of 2012, NSF merged several governance-related Expressions of Interest into a single Governance Working Group, led by the Governance Steering Committee, with connections to a broad network forum of individuals and organizations known as the Governance Forum. The governance research review and community engagement efforts by this group culminated in a Governance Roadmap delivered to the NSF-sponsored June charrette (community event). The Governance Roadmap was the product of six months of research on governance theory and models, historical infrastructure case studies, and community feedback and engagement. Based on our findings from the research review and from community engagement, we the crafted following definition of governance: “Governance refers to the processes, structure and organizational elements that determine, within an organization or system of organizations, how power is exercised, how stakeholders have their say, how decisions are made, and how decision makers are held accountable.” | |
