  1. John Scialdone Senior Metadata Specialist, SEDAC Metadata Manager Robert R. Downs Senior Digital Archivist; SEDAC Archives Manager Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN)Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC)The Earth Institute at Columbia University 28 February 2008 IAI Training Institute on Information Management: Free and Open Access to, and Use of Data and InformationPanama City, PanamaData and Metadata Interoperability Between Different Standards

  2. Interdisciplinary Scientific Data Management • Data Acquired from Individual Scientists and Teams Representing Disciplines with Various Standards, Methods, and Practices • Geospatial Data (Remote Sensing Imagery, GIS) • Population Data (Census) • Environmental Data (Agriculture, Land Use, Soils) • Data Integration Combines Individual Data Sets Created Within Diverse Scientific Disciplines • Data Product Generation Creates Data and Information Products For Use in Scientific, Decision-Making, and Educational Communities • Dissemination of Acquired and Developed Data, Data Products, and Research-Related Information

  3. Supporting Interdisciplinary Use of Scientific Data • Enabling Cross-Disciplinary Use of Data • Use of Data by Scientists Representing Various Disciplines and by Non-Scientists • Policy & Decision-Makers, Educational Community, Public • Use of Data that have been Integrated from Multiple Disciplines • Providing Multiple Forms of Documentation • Summary, Description, Documentation, Metadata • Describing Use with Multiple Forms of Guidance • Guides on Using Specific Types of Data http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/tg/ • Guides for Managing and Preserving Data http://www.ciesin.columbia.edu/ger/ • Guide to FGDC Compliant Metadata http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/metadata/ • Data Citation Guidelines http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/citations/ • Providing Help Desk and User Services • Email and Telephone Support • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Database

  4. Policies, Flowcharts, Reviews, Procedures and Standards • Policies Guide Practice • Data Policy, Data and Information Management Policy, Data and Information Quality Policy, Policy for Preservation of Digital Resources • Flowcharts Standardize Processes • Data, Data Accession, Metadata • Reviews Ensure Accord with Policies, Plans, and Standards • Acquisition, Accession, Development Plan, Alpha, Beta and Public Dissemination • Procedures Standardize Performance • Regularly Reviewed and Updated to Improve Practice • Standards Enable Replication of Best Practices • Adopted and Consulted to Inform Plans and Procedures
