The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Belgrade, was the venue of BigSkyEarth’s meetings on March 30-31, 2015. The meetings were held by the Action’s Management Committee and all four Working Groups.
The meetings set the stage for upcoming Action’s activities. More information and photos are available at http://servo.aob.rs/big_sky_earth/

The challenges related to data volume, variety and velocity are similar in astronomy and Earth observations, with computer science as the common denominator. The BIG SKY EARTH Action aims at boosting the communication within and between disciplines by identifying and clustering relevant common solutions developed within research and industrial environments. These solutions can be aided by methodologies and tools for large distributed data management and processing, developed by computer scientists in academia or industry.For example, metadata is extensively exploited in multimedia Digital Asset Management to provide effective access to deep repositories of audio-visual content. This approach can contribute a valuable know-how to natural scientists working with similar type of data structures in large databases. Visual Analytics is another example of a growing field in computer science, with interesting implications for astronomy and Earth observation that inherently depend on visual datasets.
