An official register showing details of ownership, boundaries, and value of real property in a district, made for taxation purposes. In terms of this narrative, the functionality of a cadaster is similar to that of an environmental claims clearinghouse.
Canonical data is data in its simplest form that enables it to be structured in a meaningful way. This allows the data to be integrated and applied across multiple systems and databases. A canonical model is a design pattern used to communicate between different data formats.
The CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance were created to advance the legal principles underlying collective and individual data rights in the context of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). CARE is an acronym that stands for collective benefit, authority to control, responsibility, ethics.
While CARE can be considered part of the open data movement, it aims to build on other standards such as FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) by considering power differentials and historical contexts. The CARE Principles for Indigenous Data Governance are “people and purpose-oriented, reflecting the crucial role of data in advancing Indigenous innovation and self-determination.”
Collabathons are a sustained collaboration effort with short sprints in service of long range shared goals implemnented by the OpenTEAM community to acomplish goals in key work streams. Each Collabathon session has a defined goal, outcome, and proposed output shaped by a community co-hosts. They may take anywhere from three to eight weeks (or even longer) to complete with likely a weekly cadence of hour long meetings to keep the momentum going.
Collective Impact is the commitment of a group of actors from different sectors to a common agenda for solving a specific social problem, using a structured form of collaboration. Successful collective impact initiatives typically have five conditions that together produce true alignment and lead to powerful results: a common agenda, shared measurement systems, mutually reinforcing activities, continuous communication, and backbone support organizations.
The COMET tools are the official greenhouse gas quantification tools sanctioned by the USDA. COMET-Farm and COMET-Planner, and earlier versions of COMET, were developed through a partnership between NRCS, the USDA Climate Change Program Office (CCPO) and the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory (NREL) Colorado State University. The tools are designed to support conservation scenario analysis and greenhouse gas inventories at the farm level for cropland, grazing lands, livestock, forestry, and agroforestry. COMET-Farm uses information on management practices on an operation together with spatially-explicit information on climate (PRISM weather model) and soil (NRCS SSURGO) conditions from USDA databases (which are provided automatically in the tool) to execute a combination of models to simulate sources of trace greenhouse gas emissions and potential carbon sequestration in soils and trees. By integrating NRCS SSURGO database and site-specific climate data, locality-specific results are presented to COMET-Farm users.
Common Onboarding is he process of entering the minimum amount of data for producers to be able to benefit from the tools and community, and providing the minimum level of technical skills to access the tools using the Common Onboarding Form. This form will allow producers to enter the minimum amount of data required of them to benefit from different opportunities through a shared question set, accessing multiple tools, opportunities, and benefits in agriculture. This can be compared to the common application for high school students applying to higher education institutions.
Communication tools are used to share observations and analysis with other individuals and organizations. Communications tools enable the compounding effect of knowledge and experience. Examples include printed text, digital text, photographs and digital media. This also includes the infrastructure to enable the movement and exchange of observations and analysis over time to enable collaboration.
A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people who share a craft or a profession. It is through the process of sharing information and experiences with the group that members learn from each other, and have an opportunity to develop personally and professionally.
Protocols that are developed and maintained by a community of users and developers, rather than a single entity. They are designed to be open-source and decentralized, allowing for greater collaboration and innovation.
