Thanks Jim. NOAA is a Big Data agency. As we like to say when we describe our mission, our mission of science, service and stewardship, is very broad. From the surface of the sun, to the bottom of…

Dave Bottom: Oh Thanks, Jim.
JIm Flyzik: Sure.
Dave Bottom: Well first of, NGI - National Geospatial Intelligence agency. We are both - the member of intelligence community and also a combat…

Jeanne Holm: I think Data.gov is actually -- its existence is due to big data and to open data. So, it's an open government initiative and it federates 500,000 different data resources from 175…

Jeanne Holm: Well, I think it's a very positive future and one that really looks at embracing the fact that we have sensors everywhere. Whether those are smart phones, smart cars, or smart…

Tom Soderstorm: I think we all share the goal of getting the data accessible to people who care. Part of the future is that everybody will have access to NASA's data on their mobile devices at…

Dave Bottom: Just to follow up on Mike's points. From an NGA standpoint, we are a visual agency so I like the question about vision. We think that in the future we're going to need to…

Tom Soderstorm: I think one of the key challenges, no surprise, is big data equals big budget. At least that's the thought. It's not necessarily true, so the process of why should we worry?…

Zach Goldstein: I put our challenges into two categories; what we have to do internally and what we have to do to advance the use of our data by others. Internally, we still have the problems of lots…

Jeanne Holm: Sure. Again, GSA really provides the federation of data from across cities, counties, states and the federal government. I always like to think of the stories of what people are acutally…

Zach Goldstein: The benefit of the latest program that I was talking about before the break - NOAH - is that we’re going to get us a byproduct of the access by the American economy. We’ll…

Tom Soderstorm: All our programs are using big data and the big thing for us -- I'm going to give a specific example, which is unusual. You wouldn't have thought of it. It's entering a…
