2. Presentation:

a. Coalition for Publishing Data in the Earth and Space Sciences (CODPESS, Kerstin Lehnert - lehnert@ldeo.columbia.edu) - 10 to 15 mins + discussion
i. Roots in the geochemistry community (publication of geochemical data).
ii. Major changes observed in the data publication practices since initial efforts by the aforementioned community.
- Open access/data mandates; data are increasingly recognized as scholarly record; cyberinfrastructure and escience development, and grown number of repositories.
iii. Domain-specific repositories connect various stakeholders in data management and stewardship communities.
iv. Data: Publisher’s Perspective
- There many concerns, including how to make data available while retaining their value in terms of accessibility and usability.
v. Data: Repository Perspective
- Repositories can assist with data discovery and integration; however, better connections need to be made with the publications.
vi. Enabling Data Goals and Leverage
- Publication is still a good way to help exposing data.
- Collaborations between repositories and publishers could help with improving best practices.
vii. Conference: October 2014 at AGU Headquarters in Washington, DC
- Goal: “Connect Earth Science publishers and Data Facilities to help translate the aspirations of open, available, and useful data from policy into practice.”
- More than 70 participants representing different institutions and organizations in the areas of publishers, funders, data facilities, and policy.
viii. Meeting Outcomes
- Commitment to form “Coalition for Publishing Data in the Earth and Space Sciences (COPDESS)”.
ix. A Statement of commitment
