Disposition of Action Items from MPARWG October 2008 H. K. (Rama) Ramapriyan NASA/GSFC Metrics Planning and Reporting (MPAR) WG 8th Earth Science Data Systems Working Group Wilmington, DE October 20-22, 2009
MPAR Working Group – Disposition of 2008 Action Items Accommodate and support the MEaSUREs projects. • 2008-1: Kevin Murphy – produce a write-up describing how EMS team can assist new MEaSUREs projects develop their websites and facilitate their eventual migration to the EMS. • Disposition: Closed. Focus was on reporting of users by class; idea of having projects provide logs to ESDIS for that purpose was dropped to respect projects’ privacy concerns. • 2008-2: Kevin Murphy to investigate tools and techniques that could be supplied to projects to enable compilation of user class counts from log files. • Disposition: Closed. Addressed by April 10 paper “Metrics Collection from MEaSUREs Projects” provided to projects, which included list of tools. • 2008-3: Rama and Paul Davis to organize telecons with MEaSUREs projects to discuss changes / additions needed to MPARWG metrics to meet their needs, and develop recommendations as needed; e.g.: • Common approach to characterizing level of maturity (e.g., beta, provisional, validated) of science products as they are developed and refined. • A quality metric to be associated with product types that would enable tracking of progress with each type. • Disposition: Closed. Telecon held on October 6, 2009. Results will be discussed later in this meeting.
MPAR Working Group – Disposition of 2008 Action Items Develop approaches to improve support to NASA HQ – Martha and program scientists • 2008-4: Paul Davis, Rama, Randy Barth to implement change of Impact Metrics format to Powerpoint, per Frank Lindsay’s suggestion. • Paul Davis to propose a new Impact Metric PPT format and create examples for review (image, bullet notes, more text in notes). • Rama to circulate draft PPT IM’s to MPARWG for review and comments, then coordinate review by NASA HQ. • Randy Barth to implement IM as PPT change to EMT. • Disposition: Remains open. E-Books quad chart format being considered. • 2008-5: Rama to encourage projects to enter Impact Metrics. • Disposition: Closed. Rama encourages projects every month to enter Impact Metrics and he will continue to do so. • 2008-6: Rama to ask Martha Maiden / Frank Lindsay which user categories they need metric 2 counts for (e.g. other US agencies, foreign?). • Disposition : Closed. HQ response was to leave metric 2 as is.
MPAR Working Group – Disposition of 2008 Action Items Respond to Martha’s questions • 2008-7: Greg to survey REASoN and ACCESS projects: • How are the projects using MPARWG metrics internally – what have they learned from these metrics that they wouldn’t have known otherwise? • What other metrics do projects use internally and how? • What lessons learned would projects offer from their experience with MPARWG metrics? • Do projects have a concern about providing log files (with IP addresses) to NASA (EMS) for extraction of metric 2 user class counts? • Do projects intend to define and provide metrics other than the required metrics proactively? • Disposition: Closed. Survey completed in January 2009, results will be discussed later in this meeting. • 2008-8: Rama and Paul Davis – Develop response to Martha’s four questions. • Greg can prepare a starting draft based on information in hand and MPARWG discussion. Work in results from project survey. • Disposition: Closed. Response provided to Martha Maiden, NASA HQ, on April 13, 2009. The response will be discussed later in this meeting.
