Notes

• Plan for the summer ESIP meeting
  • we should use this session to present outline/draft of the ROI paper we are working on.
  • Discuss tables, figs.
  • Assign writing sections.

• Papers we are working on.
  • RoI. We have a lot of raw material.
  • general feeling:
    • the best 'metric' for value will be data reuse (not downloads, or any of those other activity measures -- # users, etc).
    • and the best way to measure that is with data citations.
  • so our paper can write up what we have, then conclude with that.

• NSF Dear Colleague Letter, features RoI work. https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2018/nsf18060/nsf18060.jsp?WT.mc_id=USNSF_25&WT.mc_ev=click
  • NSF's interest appears to be more related to RoI for managing the data themselves (e.g., curation costs) not the repository. This is the talk that we have heard from Beth Plale more than once. So not really a propos of our current RoI work,
