Agenda

  1. Where do we go next?


Background

Our original raison d'etre

This group formed in late 2015 to investigate pathways for sustainable, increased collaboration and coordination among repositories engaged in environmental data management that will benefit both research networks and individual investigators. The group has three major activities: Developing a framework for describing Return on Investment (ROI) in data repositories; describing the landscape of data services offered by repositories, to identify gaps; and defining a Common Technical Vision to sustain data, rather than the repositories themselves.

Accomplishments

In the major areas above:

Framework for describing Return on Investment (ROI) in data repositories;
Describing the landscape of data services offered by repositories, to identify gaps;

This topic is being covered by RE3data (https://www.re3data.org/). Our involvement with them has been intended to further this objective


Define a Common Technical Vision to sustain data, rather than the repositories themselves.
    • Held a followup workshop in Santa Barbara: Developing a Common Technical Vision for Repository Interoperability
      • Notes:
    • Paper: Gries C, A. Budden, C. Laney, M. O'Brien, M. Servilla, W. Sheldon, K. Vanderbilt, D. Vieglas. 2018. Facilitating and Improving Environmental Research Data Repository Interoperability. Data Science Journal. https://doi.org/10.5334/dsj-2018-022

Notes

From Megan:

Data stewardship cluster might want to work in the repository-landscape area. they think of themsleves as an umbrella for a lot of other clusters. they spin off other clusters (info quality cluster, ____. they all report back to data stewardship.

  • Denise Hills
  • Mark Parsons

Amber Budden is the new chair of data stewardship

Copdess - not currently an active esip cluster. related

From Megan: cluster lifecycle-

  • there is a stage where clusters spin down or goes into hiatus. So that is a possible next option for this group if you want it.
  • Megan has a process for this if we need it, a one-pager.

other ideas for when we don't know what we are doing:

  • bring in speakers - eg, maybe even new members


Philip and Bob

  • follow up on metrics:
  • look at how to collect those metrics

Action items

Margaret write a few sentences for Megan about the ROI paper.

  • groups that participated
  • output of the sustainable DM cluster
  • convening aspect of ESIP, why appropriate that ESIP hosts this stuff
  • add invitation to next meeting, we will talk about what we want to take on next

TBD: Maybe a blog post later
