+ [2019-05-16 Thu]
+
+ - See list of participants below
+
+** Motivation
+  - Two recent effects:
+    - Spatial and temporal resolution of ice core data sets is increasing.
+    - More data sets available.
+  - Also want to use the older records.
+    - Cannot put in same time domain, same resolution.
+  - Need traceability of data.
+    - For later examination, changes, etc.
+    - For authorship, credit.
+
+** Workshop discussions and findings
+  - How different ice core communities collect and document data from
+    field to publications.
+  - Which software tools are used.
+    - to trace changes in the data from field to data center.
 
 ** Goals
-1. Increase reproducibility of the  research results by documenting all major steps from data collection to final conclusions.
-2. Increase usability of the ice core data sets for broader research community and a public
-
-** Create a master list of ice cores based on
-1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ice_cores
-2. Ice Reader 
-3. NSF ice core facility data base
-
-
-
-** Immediate communuty computer infrastructure needs
-1. Single acess portal for data search and retrieval in a format suitable for the end user
-2. Ice core specific data center submission process
-3. Community driven Wiki http://wiki.icecoredata.org that will document ice core methods.
-4. Methods publications: ice core processings, sampling, measurements

+  1. Increase reproducibility of the research results by documenting
+     all major steps from data collection to final conclusions.
+  2. Increase usability of the ice core data sets for broader
+     research community and a public
+
+** Action items
+  1. Create a master list of ice cores based on
+     - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ice_cores
+     - Ice Reader 
+     - NSF ice core facility data base
+  2. Single acess portal for data search and retrieval in a format
+     suitable for the end user
+  3. Create an ice core specific data-center submission process
+  4. Create a community-driven Wiki http://wiki.icecoredata.org that
+     will document ice core methods.
+  5. Publish methods: ice core processings, sampling, measurements 
+     - Methods can be published in some journals.
+     - Those publications can be referenced from the above Wiki for
+       easy finding by the community.
+
+** Technology and infrastructure
+  - Explore how to best align with EarthCube resources.
+  - Develop method for tracking dataset source, authorship, credit,
+    changes.
