  2. Modes of collecting data, information • Observation • Measurement • Generation • Driven by • Questions • Research idea • Exploration

  3. Management • Creation of logical collections • Physical data handling • Interoperability support • Security support • Data ownership • Metadata collection, management and access. • Persistence • Knowledge and information discovery • Data dissemination and publication

  4. Practical details for this week • Preparation was your plan (A1) and some of you have feedback • This week is practical – scope your effort so that you can ~ conduct it within class hours if possible (not required) • Ground rules • ONE data collection options • No one off collections • This is an individual exercise

  8. Presenting your data • ~8-10 min each • Split over two weeks but all need to be prepared to present next week • 4-5 slides MAX • Present • The goal, and the mode of collection • How data was acquired • Physical and logical organization • Other ‘management’ aspects • Metadata and documentation collected/ stored • Some data in some form
