About the DUG
The DataONE Users Group (DUG) is the worldwide community of Earth observation data authors, users, and diverse stakeholders that makeup the DataONE partnership communities. The primary function of the DUG is to represent the needs and interests of these communities in the activities of DataONE. In particular, the DUG provides guidance that facilitates DataONE in achieving its vision and mission.
Members of the DUG include representatives of the Member Nodes, Coordinating Nodes and other relevant groups (e.g. research networks, professional societies, libraries, academic institutions, data centers, data repositories, environmental observatory networks, educators, scientists, policy makers, administrators, citizen scientists, international organizations, NGOs, private companies, etc.).
The inaugural meeting of the DUG occurred December 9th-10th 2010 in Chicago, IL. At that time the interim Chair and Vice-Chair were elected and the founding DUG was established. A second meeting was held 11th-12th July 2011 in Santa Fe, NM.
The DUG will continue to meet annually to identify the evolving technical challenges and opportunities that can be applied to advance education, research, and policy through the use of DataONE data products, tools, and services.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the DUG, please contact us with "DUG Membership" in the subject line, providing information on your institutional or other affiliation.
