\begin{abstract}
As the problems humanity faces become ever more obvious and dangerous,
the need for interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary and
trans-disciplinary research and solutions becomes ever more apparent.
The problems themselves are often intertwined in complex ways - for
example the impact of climate change on human health, food \& water
security, disasters, and so on and how all of these are exacerbated by
human population growth and a general lack of recognition that humanity
is part of the ecosystem upon which Earthly life depends. Underpinning
our ability to understand and solve these complex problems are data of
all kinds, more importantly the information that has and continues to be
garnered through obtaining and analyzing these and most importantly
their inclusion in the larger body of knowledge and ways of knowing that
hopefully leads to the wisdom needed to directly address the root causes
of each problem. Over the past decades, through involvement in projects
on science topics as diverse as quasars and stellar pediatrics, solar
physics, social science, and a wide variety of Earth Science topics;
where informatics topics such as data management and curation, systems
and framework development; and tools and methodologies such as Use
Cases, Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, Knowledge Graphs,
Information Models, etc. were included; a number of principles and
lessons learned which unite the technical underpinnings of these
projects have come to the fore. These will be discussed in this
presentation.%
