The growing scale of Earth and space science challenges dictate new modes of discovery–discovery that embraces cross-disciplinary interactions and links between communities, between data, between technologies. Nowhere is the challenge more pressing than in the field of Heliophysics where solar energy is generated, propagated through interplanetary space, interacts with the Earth’s space environment, and poses immediate threat to our technological infrastructure and human-natural systems (i.e., space weather). We will present a new project within the National Science Foundation Convergence Accelerator program that represents this new mode of discovery “The Convergence Hub for the Exploration of Space Science (CHESS).” Our approach is to semantically link Heliophysics data through a Knowedge Graph/Network (KG). The presentation and discussion will focus on: - What is a knowledge graph (KG)? - In what ways are KGs poised to transform Earth and space science? - The Convergence Hub for the Exploration of Space Science (CHESS) project and bridging to metadata and knowledge architecture efforts in Heliophysics We will highlight linkages to the NSF EarthCube program and ongoing efforts in the geoinformatics and data science communities across e.g., NSF, NOAA, and NASA.
