Earth Science Data Management Handbook: Users and User Access

Addressing the concept of data user “markets” and user access to Earth science data collections, Volume 2 develops methods for quantifying the size of these markets and for modeling their interactions with the data centers that serve them. Taking into account the expansion and differentiation of user categories since the early years of the Internet, it explores the integration of global data sources and the resulting segmentation of categories for governmental uses in which data use is categorized into societal and benefit categories.
