Presentation Transcript

  1. Plan for Action (NSF) • Coherent Organizational Framework • Diversity of approaches • Communities of practice • Community proxy roles of collections • Dynamic and evolving system • Flexible Technological Architecture • Layered capabilities • Metadata • Data analysis and visualization tools • Promoting and use of stable standards • Coherent Data Policies • Transparent policy frameworks • Data management plans • Interagency coordination • International cooperation

  2. Characteristics of a 5D World • Time and place are no longer barriers to participation and interaction • Access is open to specialists and non-specialists alike • Information is the primary driver for progress • Possibilities expanded by new capabilities, resources, mechanisms • The world is flat -Thomas Friedman • The flat world is expanding - Anonymous • More room for innovation (Emergence) • New spaces for learning and discovery (Web is Expanding) • Expanded opportunities for collaboration and interaction • Greater capabilities for research and education NSF Goals To catalyze the development of a system of science and engineering data collections that is open, extensible and evolvable. To support development of a new generation of tools and services facilitating data acquisition, mining, integration, analysis, and visualization.

  3. For SEAS not DataFed Here are a few quotes resonate with my thinking:  • Charles Vest, MIT  on the idea of  Meta University : "What we are observing is the early emergence of a Meta University -- a transcendent, accessible, empowering, dynamic community-constructed framework of open material and platforms on which much of higher education worldwide can be constructed or enhanced."  • Our School could be active member of the community that constructs the frameworks and populates it with open materials and platforms.. • NSF Strategic Plan for Data, Data Analysis, and Visualization“… a vision in which science and engineering digital data are routinely deposited in well-documented form, are regularly and easily consulted and analyzed by specialists and non-specialists alike, are openly accessible while suitably protected, and are reliably preserved.” • In atmospheric chemistry and pollution, we are already a major center for openly accessible global-scale information resources. Together, we could do and show much more.
