Collaboration and Outreach Advisory Board Meeting August 2, 2012

DataNet Collaboration DataONE: Member Node DFC: Extracts to iRODS SEAD: Researcher communities DataNet-wide

MPC as DataONE Member Node resolve get search synchronize replicate

Contributions to DataONE Catalog DataONE works in terms of datasets Selected high-interest area-level extracts Total population, population density Education Occupation Household utilities Metadata with pointers to our data access systems

Collaboration with DFC-iRODS Export extracts to iRODS collaboration environment Store in external data grid Access from anywhere Share with collaborators Incorporate into iRODS workflows Variations on input data sets and parameters Organize inputs and outputs Demo with IPUMS expand to TerraPop

SEAD Researcher Communities Connect people, publications, and data Scripts to harvest information from Google Scholar, EndNote, etc. Visualizations of networks Facilitate data discovery through network MPC community Bibliography Research topics Extract history

TerraPop-SEAD Topics of Mutual Interest Time series linkages Connections among similar data over time Identification and harmonization Geographic linkages Place identifiers Translation across boundaries

DataNet-Wide Collaboration DataNet branding, web page Cyberinfrastructure Interoperability of software stacks Technical sustainability Semantic integration Community Engagement Governance Long-term financial sustainability Data management training Cross-disciplinary awareness of data resources [Insert DataNet logo here]
