U.S. Geological Survey Data Strategy 2023–33

by Vivian B. Hutchison, Thomas E. Burley, Kyle W. Blasch

About this book

How should a scientific agency manage data so that it remains trustworthy, findable and useful? This concise U.S. Geological Survey strategy explains the organizational and technical goals behind the agency’s 2023–2033 data program, from the data lifecycle to the people and infrastructure needed to sustain it.

The report discusses data governance, access, interoperability, stewardship and the use of scientific information across programs. A lifecycle diagram and a table of strategic goals and objectives summarize the approach, while a glossary and references clarify its terminology. This is the complete original report first published in May 2024, with its illustrations and agency credits preserved.
