Notes
===re3data: RE3data: a repository of repositories, for all research. updates were very difficult, and needed to be coordinated. CDF (earthcube) suggested that repos own their data and keep it locally, and allow entities such as re3data to harvest and aggregate as needed.
advantages:
- repo owns its own data
- expose your data thru webservices (other engines can search it too, eg google, bing).
progress
- 10 pilot sites have done the work.
- need to finalize metadata
- metadata recommendations
This group could review metadata, and comment on its usability for its purpose
github repo: [FIND LINK}
===ROI:
we should write up what we have. this may take a specialized call to get moving.
another (or additional) option is to write a proposal for analysis of many of our repositories. perhaps by having a consultant (like Beagrie) do it. however, the repos he analyzed were quite old, and have established communities. Our communities are smal.., and it is not clear if those techniques (ie, that investigated our user communities) would benefit us, or tell us us useful info.
Action Items
- Shelley find link to github repo, with metadata description. re3data may be finalizing it soon.
- disseminate (margaret) discuss (all)
- attend the dataone webinar next week https://www.dataone.org/upcoming-webinar
