10 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200610 Systems and Innovation The Standish Group’s “CHAOS report”. An assessment of over 40,000 IT application projects Succeeded “Challenged” Failed “We're entering a new world in which data may be more important than software.” - Tim O'Reilly

11 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200611 The People Part Service counts. “A striking proportion of project difficulties stem from people in both customer and supplier organisations failing to implement known best practice.” — Oxford University/Computer Weekly survey of public and private sector IT projects (emphasis added) However, people (data managers and data providers) are much more able to adapt to change, uncertainty, and messy systems

12 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200612 Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge in the Arctic Local and traditional knowledge (LTK) encompasses the various systems of knowledge, practice, and belief gained through experience and culturally transmitted among members and generations of a community. ELOKA is concerned with: Fair and multilevel access Fair and multilevel use Broad sharing of LTK while maintaining local control Legal requirements

13 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200613 What’s been done Data Committee has defined a data policy Data Committee working on a data strategy and outlining overall IPY data flow. Workshop on data management (see report at http://nsidc.org/ipydis)http://nsidc.org/ipydis Proposals submitted (some funded) to manage and ensure fair access to IPY data.

14 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200614 Data used by IPY Data generated by IPY Special Cases: Human subjects Intellectual property of LTK Where data release may cause harm IPY Data Policy “…the IPY Joint Committee requires that IPY data, including operational data delivered in real time, are made available fully, freely and on the shortest feasible timescale.” http://www.ipy.org/Subcommittees/final_ipy_data_policy.pdf

15 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200615 An IPY Data Management Workshop More than 40 participants from 13 countries Major goal: determine functions, form, and implementation for an IPY Data and Information Service Full report at http://nsidc.org/ipydis Photo courtesy SJS Khalsa

17 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200617 Overarching themes Outreach to the scientific community Data discovery and access Interoperability A data coordination office A phased approach Funding

18 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200618 Vision: a cultural shift in science “Preserve or Perish” You are not finished until you have done the research, published the results, and published the data, receiving formal credit for everything.

20 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200620 Data Discovery & Access Data policy on free and open access Working with the ICSU CODATA Global Information Commons for Science Initiative to handle IPR issues with local and traditional knowledge. Visualization

22 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200622 Interoperability “What few things must be the same so everything else can be different.” A few good standards: ISO19115 metadata Open Geospatial Consortium Explore advanced semantic approaches

23 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200623 The Equatorial Bias on a Spherical Earth

24 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200624 The Equatorial Bias on a Spherical Earth

25 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200625 Design for Durability Data formats should transparent interoperable extensible compact Systems should be simple and robust

26 IPY Data Management; Mark Parsons; CODATA06, 25 Oct. 200626 A Phased Approach Think BIG but start small IPY provides a unique opportunity to revolutionize data management, but… IPY is only 126 days away
