Develop a CENDI Grand Challenge
• Challenged by OSTP Chris Greer
• “Science2Jobs” – a work in Process
• Vision – Fully interoperable data & information network
that stimulates job growth by enabling new opportunities
for innovation and discovery
• Goal and Objectives – Expand Science.gov to drive dataintensive science -- including research, education and
applications
o Create a semantically rich information network across agencies;
o Extend the scope of “data objects” presently served
o Integrate other agency capabilities with Science.gov so that the whole
becomes a larger network that enables business innovation by a broad
