2018 ESIP Summer Meeting

The amount of data researchers are generating is exploding and as a result, so to are the opportunities for more comprehensive and novel analyses incorporating the work of many investigators. These data are however, scattered across the globe in different formats and accessible through a variety of mechanisms, challenging researchers, educators and others to find the specific data they need. Repositories managing these data in ways that promote precise discovery and recall are positioned to become leaders in scientific knowledge and the creation of data stewardship. DataONE enables repositories to increase visibility and exposure of data through a federated network utilizing a well tuned and consistent, shared infrastructure for search and access to data across participating repositories. The DataONE infrastructure facilitates data preservation, replication, attribution and citation, and supports existing data tools as well as registration of repository data services.

During this workshop, data and organization managers will be provided with an overview of the DataONE cyberinfrastructure and the steps necessary to integrate with DataONE. We will highlight the services and features available, provide an overview of the implementation process and review technical requirements allowing sufficient time for specific case studies, questions and answers.
