Presentation Transcript

  1. DataNet Federation: Data Conservancy Research Data Access and Preservation Summit April 9, 2010

  2. Overview • My apologies for not being present • Good news is that some of my Data Conservancy colleagues are present • This presentation is not a comprehensive or general description of the Data Conservancy but rather focused on panel questions

  3. Early Days • One very important point about how the Data Conservancy addresses challenges about data management infrastructure, current data practices, interoperability, etc… • …is that we do not yet fully understand the full picture • A core goals of DataNet is better understanding of such topics

  4. Data Management Infrastructure • The Data Conservancy will ingest data through multiple means (large-scale batch, transactional, real-time) • Architecture emphasizes well-defined interfaces, modularity and interchangeability • Reference implementations using well-established technologies with broad support (e.g., Fedora) • Storage layer features that support access to data stored or preserved elsewhere (interfaces to third-party storage services)

  5. Current Data Practices • Ask Chris Borgman, Melissa Cragin and Mike Wright (and my other Data Conservancy colleagues I may not realize are in the audience)! • Even in these early days, we are developing initial preservation policies based on existing foundations such as OAIS, “traditional” preservation, etc.

  6. Challenges and Opportunities • Technological “lock-in” or path dependence – critical need to realize that infrastructure will evolve over time • Sustainability – technical, financial, content itself • “Divide and Conquer” – no DataNet partner can address these challenges singlehandedly – this is an opportunity!
