Abstract

This paper aims to outline the challenges, necessary dimensions of capability, and critical success factors enabling cross-boundary earth observational data sharing. Despite the profound benefits, integrating and bringing data together among researchers and across boundaries and domains presents tremendous challenges. This paper will review and integrate literature from the environmental and information science fields to identify necessary challenges, and reflect on the dimensions of capability, as well as critical success factors for data integration and sharing in collaborative data sharing networks, taking into consideration the information-sharing capability framework from Center for Technology in Government (CTG). This research effort will explore the challenges/barriers, dimensions of capability, and critical success factors in case studies of DataONE, a collaborative earth observational data sharing networks initiative.
