14. Data Management & Sharing Examples Vision Platforms

15. Research Data Management

17. Example: Desert LCC Fish Biodiversity 2011 Project Final report Nov 2013 24,000 text files –.csv tables of fish species + distribution model output Data files to be made available at  UT Library Digital Repository UT Library Digital Repository  http://www.fishesoftexas.org How do we share this data?  Project Profile Pages  Web Services

18. Desert LCC Map Series Desert LCC GIS Data  Compiled in 2011  12 themes  133 metadata files  13 Geodatabases with 3,470 files  113 GB  1 Report (.doc)  Lives on an external Hard Drive How do we share it?  Web Maps (Conservation Planning Atlas)  Web Services

19. The Vision: Data Management & Sharing Objectives: 1. LCC data management guidance 2. Workflows for project metadata harvesting and delivery 3. Platform and training for GIS data storage, viewing, manipulation, & collaboration 4. Infrastructure for delivery of Desert LCC information products

20. Data Management: “Data Life Cycle” How will Desert LCC research data be collected, documented, preserved, shared, and integrated? Image credit: DataONE
