23. Data Science Questions and RDA Outcomes How were the data collected? UN Global Ebola Response Data Team Where are they stored? Originally at the Humanitarian Data Exchange and Other Web Sites What are the results? Curated in a MindTouch Knowledge Base, Excel Spreadsheets, and Spotfire Analytics and Visualizations Why should we believe the results? The UN Global Ebola Response Data Team Knows Their Business and I Am a Good Data Scientist! Data Citation - Uses persistent URLs Data Description Registry Interoperability (DDRI) - Provides Global View of Research Data Data Type Registries (DTR) - Provides Data Types Data Foundation & Terminology (DFT) – Provides Cross Disciplinary Data Exchange and Interoperability Metadata - Uses Metadata Standards that Provide Interoperability PID Information Types (PIT) - Data Science Data Publication Unifies the Interface Practical Policy (PP) - Provides Reproducible Data Science Wheat Data Interoperability – UN Global Ebola Response Data Interoperability 23

24. Conclusions and Recommendations Global Ebola Response Data Experts guided this data scientist to the best data sources. Three Global Ebola Response Data Sets have been Mined, Integrated, used to Answer the Four Data Science Questions, and Documented (curated) in a Data Science Data Publication. This provides an example of implementing the eight RDA Working Group outputs in support of the four 2015 RDA outcomes. The Full Ebola Situation Report - 8 July 2015 could become a Data Science Data Publication to help the UN, Cluster Peer Review, and the RDA. Data Science for International Data Week 2016 could also use the Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) Nepal Earthquake data sets. 24
