Checklist to Examine AI-readiness for Open Environmental Datasets

This checklist is developed to help data users, producers, and managers to assess the readiness for level for AI applications and target data improvement in the future.

Note that some of these factors came from the draft readiness matrix developed by the OSTP Subcommittee on Open Science and some have been added based on further research. Definitions for some concepts are listed at the end of this document. This checklist is developed through a collaboration of ESIP Data Readiness Cluster members including representatives from NOAA, NASA, USGS, and other organizations. The checklist will be updated periodically to reflect community feedback. 

The current version for the checklist is v.0.2.
