The Value of Being a Trustworthy RepositoryToday, NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS), a system ofactive archives is attaching the CoreTrustSeal to its websites signifying that it merits theconfidence of its user community. But what value does being a trustworthy repository impart to auser? What does it mean to the owners and operators of repositories? What will it mean in thefuture? EOSDIS was started in the 1990s based on a framework of discipline-oriented, geographicallydistributed centers of expertise, named Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs). The functionof EOSDIS is to collect Earth Science data sensor measurements (principally those created andneeded by NASA) and manage the data and many derived digital products. EOSDIS providesmany services, including processing, curating, documenting, disseminating, and enabling datadiscovery as well as efficient use of the data. The EOSDIS has been operational over 25 years andmany lessons have been learned relative to the TRUST principles. During the tenure of EOSDIS,many changes have occurred as we have increased the size of the collection from gigabytes totens of petabytes and the distribution of the data to millions of users. We have had severalstages of system evolution that have improved EOSDIS in order to meet both stakeholder andcustomer expectations. This type of evolution is an on-going process to ensure that ourrepositories remain trustworthy. It is also important that our own community of data managersand system engineers add value in being trustworthy. This paper will discuss approaches to change within a large system of Earth Science data and services, while remaining a trustworthyrepository.
