NETS Stakeholder Workshop:Researcher Panel Shirley Han 28 June 20013
NCEASNational 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
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
Online Interface KNB: knb.ecoinformatics.org DataONE: dataone.org Example: http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/knb/metacat/knb-lter-mcr.1.20/knb
Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity Data Distribution Total: 25,191 data sets Data until: 07 Oct 2011
Software Morpho Kepler
User-friendly interface KNB, DataOne, Morpho: versioning Morpho: csv files—attributes, other files
Recognition of dataset publications Treating publication of datasets as an actual manuscript publication
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
