FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
The next meeting on data management in interdisciplinary projects concerning
“Data repositories in environmental sciences – concepts, definitions, technical solutions and user requirements”
will be held in Rauischholzhausen (near Marburg) on February 28th – March 1st, 2011
hosted by the FOR816 Ecuador and Biodiversity Exploratories in collaboration with the WG Data of the DFG senate commission on biodiversity research.
Please reserve these dates in your agenda.
Quality proofed research data build the foundation for scientific knowledge gain. Although billions of Euros are spent annually in Germany alone to acquire data only a fraction are accessible over time and are re-used in further contexts. The Alliance of German Science Organisations acknowledges this problem and pools activities for their solutions. Interdisciplinary research project repositories are at the intersection of data collection in the field, work-in-progress-storage, and long-term archiving. Against this background the workshop explores required standards of data capture, data curation and interchange with respect to technical and social issues, and addresses challenges in long-term archiving in a national and international framework.
The aim is to bring together the community of project database manager, standards developer, information scientists, librarians, and funding agencies. As results, we anticipate a better communication between the many disciplines, an overview of the current state of the art and a roadmap for future activities.
A focus will be set on
“Data platforms in integrative biodiversity research”.
Sessions will concentrate on:
Data standards and ontologies for integrative biodiversity research
Concepts for Data Repositories
- Data exchange including legal status of data and access
- Sustainability of repositories including permanent funding strategies
- Migration strategies for project data to permanent enviornmental data repositories
- Structural and technical concepts
- Models; central, distributed networks, connected topical/regional nodes etc.
- Hardware; including costs
- Software; designs, data models, data flow, interfaces
User Requirements
- Demands of data provider and data user (bridging the gap between user needs and expectations)
- Added value to be provided by project repositories
- Required service tools (input, search, analysis, visualisation, output)
- Citeable data publications as incentive (DOI, ISI, others)
We are looking forward to this meeting and hope that you will be able to participate. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the local organizers.
With kind regards,
