In USGS, we are committed to the goals and ideals of open science and are working to improve our practices in line with those principles. We don't as yet have a formal route to collaborate on this particular project, but we're working to introduce it and bring it into the community for collaboration via the Earth Science Information Partners ([https://esipfed.org ESIP]). Look for a presentation on this work at the ESIP Summer Meeting in Burlington, VT in July, 2023. | In USGS, we are committed to the goals and ideals of open science and are working to improve our practices in line with those principles.

= A note about something called iSAID = | |||
An earlier effort in building a graph-based knowledgebase structure was something we called iSAID. This was a somewhat tongue-in-cheek name that stands for the Integrated Science Assessment Information Database. iSAID was motivated by the need to comprehensively look across the USGS at our entire scientific portfolio to characterize and understand our capacity to pursue new scientific objectives. The nodes in the iSAID graph include people, organizations, projects, publications, datasets, and models. iSAID is still a going concern, and we're now working on bringing the public aspect of iSAID (which is about 90% or more) into the Wikibase model here. We need all of those same entities represented in the knowledgebase for the other use cases we are pursuing. | |||

This is an experimental effort that will only deal with an organization and portrayal of already publicly available data, information, and knowledge. Everything we incorporate here, directly attributable to the USGS, is from officially released, peer reviewed material. Our pathway from institutional knowledge development processes to releasable data, software, and knowledge products is guided by policies in our [https://www.usgs.gov/office-of-science-quality-and-integrity/fundamental-science-practices Fundamental Science Practices]. How these policies are applied to what is a very different form in an integrated knowledgebase is part of our experimentation and development work. | This is an experimental effort that will only deal with an organization and portrayal of already publicly available data, information, and knowledge.
