2018 ESIP Summer Meeting

The session will start with an introduction to key areas of data quality, how data quality measures have been applied to Earth Science data, and why it's important. The discussion will continue with how usability can provide utility to various applications and disciplines. These two presentations will lead to an overview of a web application for time series data quality control.

After these respective overviews, a more specific demo will be provided for the quality control software, including an explanation for how it works and how it represents a synthesis of information quality and usability. During this demo, audience members will participate in usability testing and provide live feedback about how intuitive the application's various interfaces are. In the end, participants will obtain a clearer understanding of the importance of information quality and usability, and how the related principles can help quality control software to be useful to its target community.
