  1. Workshop Overview Goals

  2. Changing Face of Science • Small and medium size groups increasing in importance, with sharing of resources, ideas, people, and data • Long tail of science; network science; international • Data generation growing, with challenges • Big • Complex • Messy • Standards – too many • Standards – lack of them • Policy • Others • Many groups all working on /confronting similar challenges • But not talking (as much as would be optimal) • Many reasons: Time, my way or the highway, lack of knowledge, pressure to produce results

  3. Why GLEON, PRAGMA and NCHC? • PRAGMA: Focused on enabling collaboration among small and medium sized groups – through shared infrastructure • Scientific expeditions with data at core • GLEON: Grass-roots network of people, data, sensors to advance understanding of lakes and their role in the (global) environment • Years of experience with data issues (technical and policy) • NCHC a founding member of both organizations • Lead first buoy installation (networking) • Involved in disaster mitigation and sensing (floodgrid) • All organizations seek partnerships • Strengthen the organization and reduces re-invention • All have plans to take output of this workshop • Awards (e.g., DIBBs) or workshops (PRAGMA 24); and SEAIP (NCHC)

  4. Participants • GLEON • Paul Hanson • Tim Kratz • Cayelan Carey • LTER • CorinnaGries, and GLEON DIBBs • PRAGMA • Philip Papadopoulos, clusters, systems • Peter Arzberger, and GLEON • Earthcube and RDAllians • Beth Plale, and PRAGMA • Biodiversity • Reed Beaman, and PRAGMA • DataOne • Dave Vieglais, Biodiversity • USGS • Jordan Read, and GLEON • NEON • Brian Wee • CZO • Chris Duffy • NCHC • Fang-Pang Lin, PRAGMA and GLEON • Whey-Fone Tsai, FloodGrid • Hsiu-Mei Chou • Others • ILTER, and TERN • Hen-biau King, LTER • Chau-Chin Lin, LTER – linked data • Sheng-San Lu • Yu-Huang Wang • GLEON • Charles Chiu • KISTI • Ruth Lee • NECTEC • SornthepVannarat • AprivadeePiyatumrong • Stuttgart, HPCC • UweWoessner • Others

  5. Unique Opportunity • Many projects addressing data issues • Brought together for this workshop • Here in beautiful Taiwan – talk with each other • GLEON and PRAGMA • Mode of operating; • Expeditions in PRAGMA and GLEON • Partnerships, - • Plans • Workshop where we prototype • DIBBs • Long-term support for each of GLEON, PRAGMA, and NCHC • Funding Opportunities in “Big Data” around the world

  6. Goals of Workshop • A goal of this workshop is to discuss and identify opportunities to bridge the data landscape to reduce current barriers and enable scientists to more easily traverse the available resources. In particular we hope that this workshop will: • Improve the future effectiveness and efficiency of network science through improved understanding of current cyber infrastructure and CI initiatives • Communicate best (promising) practices from organizations that support science data infrastructure • Identify opportunities for incorporation and re-use of existing CI across related disciplines • Document and communicate results to a broader community

  7. Agenda – 50,000 foot view • Tuesday • Understand GLEON and PRAGMA organizations • Present case studies in three application areas • Share information about projects, solutions and problems • Wednesday and Thursday • Travel back and forth to Huisun Forest Station • Discuss common problems and solutions • Prioritize issues we will address • Formulate some prototype projects and future activities • Outline and draft report • All days: Enjoy company, food, interactions
