    2. @Chuck P

      1. following up on this for John

        1. An assignment the team representatives have is to indicate the data sources their team has that might be made available to an AI model to address question posed to it.  You may recall that at the last Quarterly Meeting there was a session in which this question was asked and folks provided lists of data sources.  Those are being reviewed and updated now.

          The list is at: ACCESS Data Source Inventory  This should be reviewed at our next team meeting to make sure we have captured the data sources we have.  Note that it was not clear how the permissions are set, so it may be the case that Only Shannon can read and or edit this document.  Let me know if others cannot access this.

          To the extent possible, this needs to be completed.  We should add data sources not in the list.  In the sheet, they use the term "canonical" and that was a bit confusing to me.  Think of this as the "authoritative" source.  Sometimes that is us or our web pages (e.g., science stories, newsletters, etc.).  In other case it might be a tool, such as the source of our social media reach metrics.    

          We simply need to do the best we can now and questions will come back later as needed for clarifications.

          1. need to add our EAB reports

          2. Shannon should flesh out abbreviations by tomorrow - done as much as can be
