Dear Colleagues, Standards and codified recommended practices underpin many practical aspects of the scientific endeavor. Developing and maintaining standards and recommended practices requires the work, often unpaid, of many people. The session “Standards for the Benefit of Science and Society” at the AGU Fall Meeting will highlight the practical aspects, including sociological factors, involved in motivating, developing and adopting standards and recommended practices. We solicit presentations describing specific use cases and outcomes involving standardization efforts. We are interested in both the successes and failures - we learn from both. This link will take you directly to the form for submitting an abstract to this session. Session Conveners: SiriJodha S. Khalsa, NSIDC/CIRES/Univ.

Session Abstract:
Standards can help to ensure the F.A.I.R.ness of data, reduce the
barriers to adoption of new technologies within local and regional
cultures, and help close the digital divide between less
economically developed countries and advanced societies. But the
development de jure standards takes time and effort, and adoption of
the end product is not guaranteed. The codification and promotion of
community or recommended practices (aka “best practices”) is a less
formal avenue for achieving many of these same goals. This session
consists of presentations highlighting the practical aspects,
including sociological factors, involved in development and adoption
of standards and best practices. Presentations describing specific
use cases and outcomes involving standardization efforts are also
being solicited.
