Open, Public, Electronic and Necessary (OPEN) Government Data Act, which requires all non-sensitive government data to be made available in open and machine-readable formats by default is part of the overall Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking (FEBP) Act passed in late 2018. This town hall will bring together data officers and policy makers from NOAA, EPA, NASA and others to discuss the impact of the act on data management strategies going forward. In 1994 NASA's Earth Science Division committed to an open data policy for all civilian Earth satellite data. NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) became the first large scale data system to facilitate public access to global Earth system data and information. This presentation reviews key elements of EOSDIS data policy and data management activities that support the OPEN Government Data Act.
