Site Operations Manager’s Workshop – September 26 th -28 th, 2006 NEES Data Curator Service provider –Curate project research data –Assist PIs in developing their DASP –Conduct NEEScentral project research data reviews –Catalog project research data and NEES publications –Maintain the NEES Ontology –Maintain NEES project and publication access Web site and digital library

Site Operations Manager’s Workshop – September 26 th -28 th, 2006 Data Curation Process PI defines project in NEEScentral along with a Data Archiving and Sharing Plan (DASP) Data curator reviews initial project definition, assigns initial state, and creates initial catalog entry Researchers load data files into their local repository after experiments/trials and add metadata to files Researcher with overall data management responsibility uploads data files and metadata to NEEScentral

Site Operations Manager’s Workshop – September 26 th -28 th, 2006 Data Curation Process Data Curator reviews uploaded data files and their metadata and assigns appropriate status on the experiment or trial For experiment or trial data files that pass the review the Data Curator registers and catalogs them Data Curator updates status for cataloged material Data Curator notifies project contact of the status modifications on their experiment and trial data files

Site Operations Manager’s Workshop – September 26 th -28 th, 2006 Project Data and Publications Public Catalog Entry Layout Title: Taiwan-Canada Hybrid Test on a Double-Skinned-Concrete-Filled-Tubular Bridge Type: Project NEES ID: NEES Classified Under: Hybrid Test; Double Skinned Concrete; Tubular Bridge Description: Introduces a Taiwan-Canada transnational collaborative pseudo- dynamic (PsD) experiment of a multiple-span Double-Skinned Concrete-Filled Tube (DSCFT) bridge system, simulating its dynamic responses induced by a series bi-lateral ground motions. The PsD experiment of testing three DSCFT piers of the bridge system will be carried out at three geographically distributed laboratories over long distance.
