Collecting these data into a single clearinghouse, with descriptive and standards compliant metadata, allows the community to know what data products exist, the accuracy of those products, and whether they meet the needs of that use case. In addition, such an inventory allows NASA, mission teams, and data producers to identify gaps in knowledge that could be filled through future efforts. +A publicly accessible living inventory of foundational and framework data products that simplifies the search and discovery process. #### Approach Our primary approach is to build on the efforts of {{< cite "Laura:2021ess" >}} and findings from the [Lunar Critical Data Products Specific Action Team](https://www.lpi.usra.edu/mapsit/standup-committees/LCDP-SAT-REPORT-20211110.pdf) (2021) use this information as an initial assessment of the publicly available foundational and framework data products for the moon. We will also engage data producers to determine interest in contributing to this SDI and determine the process to contribute additional data products.
