The Community for Data Integration is a community of practice whose purpose is to advance the U.S. Geological Survey’s data integration capabilities. In fiscal year 2023, the Community for Data Integration held 11 monthly forums, facilitated 20 collaboration areas, and supported 13 projects. These activities supported the broad U.S. Geological Survey priority of producing building blocks for doing integrated predictive science. Specifically, the activities supported tools and methods for FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data and fire science and coastal resilience and protection. Through these efforts, community members were informed of new and emerging technologies and data topics that helped them accomplish their professional responsibilities.
At the end of fiscal year (FY) 2023, the CDI had 2,614 members. Members included both USGS employees and USGS contractors, as well as members from academia, non-profits, commercial companies, and other state, federal, and international organizations. The roles that members serve in their organizations include data managers, research scientists, software developers, managers, data scientists, and other practitioners.
