1. NETS Stakeholder Workshop: Researcher Panel Shirley Han 28 June 20013

2. NCEAS National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis Nationally NSF funded center Working Groups Required to make derived datasets publically available Metadata also required Training from the ecoinformatics group

3. Where does the data come from? And where are they housed? Personal datasets Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) World Bank US Geological Survey (USGS) From literature (meta-analyses) GMN

4. Online Interface KNB: knb.ecoinformatics.orgknb.ecoinformatics.orgDataONE: dataone.orgdataone.org Example: http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/metacat/knb-lter-mcr.1.20/knbhttp://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/metacat/knb-lter-mcr.1.20/knb

5. Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity Data Distribution Data until: 07 Oct 2011Total: 25,191 data sets

6. Software MorphoKepler

7. User-friendly interface KNB, DataOne, Morpho: versioning Morpho: csv files—attributes, other files

8. Recognition of dataset publications Treating publication of datasets as an actual manuscript publication

9. Continuing Challenges Time Researchers: it takes too long Re-formatting data tables into acceptable, best-practice formats Little recognition Doesn’t count towards total number of publications Slow process- DOIs are given to datasets now Data citation—still relatively low Commitment-phobia DCI: Data Citation Index
