## What is a planetary SDI?
Collecting, managing, finding, and analyzing spatial data is hard. The knowledge required to discuss each of those tasks easily fills a book and the knowledge required to support others performing one or more of those tasks easily fills several more volumes. It is all to easy to not know how to find, use, or interpret publicly available spatial data.
High level.

Spatial data infrastructures were born from the terrestrial science (geography) community in the early 1980s with the birth of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). An explosion in digital data collection, mapping, and dissemination necessitated the development of infrastructures for organization much in the same way that, for example, the advent of the automobile heralded the development of the US interstate highway system. The infrastructures needed to store, organize, and make spatial data both discoverable and interoperable were called Spatial Data Infrastructures or SDIs.
Planetary SDIs are body (e.g., the Moon or Mars) specific infrastructures created by groups of planetary scientists, data scientists, geographers, and engineers that are interested in making spatial data easier for you to discover, download, and use. The members of the planetary SDI governing groups have expertise in the areas described above and have gotten together to codify the spatial concepts, like map projections, data formats, or body parameters, in order to ensure that data within a planetary SDI are discoverale, interoperable, well described, and ultimately usable. The groups also work to build out governance models, data sharing agreements, and the other policy related items necessary to support SDIs over the long term.
The ultimate goal of each governing group is to support the widest possible cross section of users by growing the scope of data, metadata, and usage documentation available within their given SDI. This support takes the form of outreach to data producers and providers, drafting of living standards documents to support interoperability, engagement with past, current, and future flight missions to ensure interoperability, and engagement with you, the user.The efforts of PSDIs distill down to seeking an environment where data are [FAIR](https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/)ly available for all users, whatever their expertise level.
For a significantly more scholarly discussion of planetary SDIs, see {{< cite "Laura:2017;Laura:2018ess">}}.
## Participants
Planetary SDIs are a community driven, cross institutional endeavour. By necessity, they are successful because they engage a wide cross-section of the community with different expertise and institutional affiliations. While this website is hosted by the USGS Astrogeology, none of this work would be possible without the active participation by community members from the following organizations.

What gaps exist in the available data? What data is this group specifically seeking out?
\ No newline at end of file
Data gaps are derived [foundational or framework data products](https://fdp.astrogeology.usgs.gov) that the Europa SDI governance groups would be of high value to the Europa science community. At this time, data gaps are primarily focused on making existing data publicly, and widely available. In the future, missions such as [Europa Clipper](https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Europa+Clipper&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8) and [JUICE](https://sci.esa.int/web/juice) will collect new data that can and will be used to create new products. As those data begin to come, we expect that more ideas for derived products will be included here.
We identify the following data gaps and wish to actively engage with the community to make these data widely available in an [analysis ready data](https://stac.astrogeology.usgs.gov/docs/about/) format:
- Europa Digital Terrain Models (DTMs)
- Galileo [Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS)](https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/experiment/display.action?id=1989-084B-01) data
- Any and all geologic maps, including the soon to be released [global geologic map](https://planetcarto.wordpress.com/2019/09/23/the-first-global-geologic-map-of-europa/)
The above listing is not exhaustive, as our knowledge of the available data products is not exhaustive. If you have a product and are interested in making it publicly available [get involved]({{< ref "get_involved" >}})! We are more than happy to help make these data available under the Europa SDI umbrella.

- For derived data (e.g., DTMs), data should be made available at a reasonable resolution that avoids extrapolation of information.
- Data for large spatial scale (e.g., 1:24000), small spatial extent maps, (e.g. landing sites) can be provided in an orthographic projection centered on image.
- Data for polar areas (latitudes > 55˚ North or South) should use an orthographic projection centered on site or a polar stereographic projection centered at the pole
## Ephemeris Information
- All sun, spacecraft, sensor, and target body ephemeris information is to be provided either by [Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF)](https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/) as SPICE kernels or in NAIF SPICE compliant format by another provider (e.g., a mission team). This includes sensor and target positions, velocities, and orientations as well as sensor parameters such as distortion models.
