OSTP/NSF Data Science Meetup of Meetups Week of November 2 nd : NSF Data Science/Big Data Principal Investigators (About 300) NSF Data Hubs (4) Organizers of Largest Data Science/Big Data Meetups (About 65) Pipeline for Return on Investment: PIs put their data, tools and research results in the Data Hubs Data Hubs provide those data, tools, and research results to the world, but especially to the Data Science/Big Data Meetups Data Science/Big Data Meetups collaborate with PIs and Data Hubs to increase usage and feedback 6

We Already Do This! Semantic Community: Provides a Community Sandbox that is like a GitHub, Data Hub, Data Commons, etc. Metadata (MindTouch) Open APIs (MIndTouch) Digital Objects (MindTouch) Containers (Spotfire) Organize the Federal Big Data Working Group Meetup Support Agencies and Programs in Crowdsourcing Their Data Sets Mentor Data Scientists (Tutorials and MOOCs) and Entrepreneurs (Eastern Foundry) Federal Big Data Working Group Meetup: Federal: Supports the Federal Big Data Initiative, but not endorsed by the Federal Government or its Agencies; Big Data: Supports the Federal Digital Government Strategy which is "treating all content as data", so big data = all your content; Working Group: Data Science Teams composed of Federal Government and Non- Federal Government experts producing big data products; and Meetup: The world's largest network of local groups to revitalize local community and help people around the world self- organize like MOOCs (Massive Open On-line Classes) now embraced by the White House. 7

Data Mining - Science - Questions - Publication Process Data Mining Process: Business Understanding Data Understanding Data Preparation Modeling Evaluation Deployment Data Science Process: Data Preparation Data Ecosystem Data Story Data Science Questions: How was the data collected? Where is the data stored? What are the data results? and Why should we believe the data results? Data Science Data Publication: Knowledge Base Spreadsheet Index Web & PDF Tables to Spreadsheet Data Browser Dynamically Linked Adjacent Visualizations 8

AAAS Fellow Biography Dr. Renata Rawlings-Goss AAAS Fellow Directorate for Computer & Information Science & Engineering Office of the Assistant Director Class of 2015 Dr. Renata Rawlings-Goss is a biophysicist who completed her doctorate work at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. She was successfully awarded a competitive AGEP postdoctoral fellowship with the Center for Computational Medicine, where she developed new predictive statistics for patient monitored diabetes. Subsequently, she became a Penn-Port fellow in the department of genetics at the University of Pennsylvania, where her research interests included data- driven analysis of genetic/expression variation among worldwide populations for diseases such as cancer. In addition, Dr. Rawlings-Goss has served as a scientific consultant to lawyers, physicians, and the non-profit sector around data analytics as well as taught courses at Rutgers University and Lincoln University in bioinformatics, biostatistics, genetics and mathematical modeling a continuing effort to increase participation of under- represented minorities in science. Currently, Dr. Rawlings- Goss is a AAAS science policy fellow at the National Science Foundation working on Big Data policy. 11
