Resources:

Data source

Quick acess to raw data from many projects

Raw data servers (Cassini, MER)

Press release arhives

Software

Paritview

FITS Liberator

SDSS Sky server

NVO

Bandwidth, graphics cards, computer access, all are increasing greatly

Humans

Large datasets,

Example: orbital elements are available for cassini, but how do people access them?

Needs:

Accessing to data; awareness of existence of datasets, easy and open access to data

Visualization tools

Rewards & recognition for scientists for pursuing public visualizations

Unified way to serve the data… targeted repositories

Develop a bigger picture, stepping back from politics, funding, etc.

Increasing awareness within the community of the availability of resources

Intelligent tagging of image/animation resources with data to facilitate use by end users (location, objects, field of view, etc.)

Communication

Among scientists

Between diciplines

Vis Facilitators to help scientists understand how to visualize their data in useful way.

How do we inform museums of the resources we have available?

How do museums tell us what they need?

Limitations

Agendas: each facility has its own bottom line: fuding, politics, selling product

Data access

ITAR limitations for data distribution

Proprietary information and giving access

Image use policies; remove barriers for use for commercial projects

Time and money, especially for larger projects

General thoughts

RL: Gulf between mission ops and outreach. Feelings of intimidation.

Need to improve communications between different fields of science.

Visualization doesn’t bring rewards like publications do. Doesn’t encourage participation.

Focus should be on user’s needs so scientists aren’t forcing materials that aren’t needed by content producers.

How do scientists get feedback of what materials are needed by the audience?

A two-way conversation between scientists and producers could better help the content be developed to needs. What can better set up that communication?

Fig 1 lacks feedback lines. Inputs flow in one direction, but we need to look at getting feedback in both directions.

Conflict between bottom line needs at each level… promoting individual products, finding paying audiences, etc.

Cooperation vs. competition; developing wide ideas vs.
