Vision: “…a vision in which science and engineering digital data are routinely deposited in well-documented form, are regularly and easily consulted and analyzed by specialists and non-specialists alike, are openly accessible while suitably protected, and are reliably preserved.”
Strategic plan seeks to (1) Promote a change in culture; (2) Catalyze development of a national digital data framework; (2)Support new generations of tools, services, and capabilities
Goals: (1) To catalyze the development of a system of science and engineering data collections that is open, extensible and evolvable. (2) To support development of a new generation of tools and services facilitating data acquisition, mining, integration, analysis, and visualization.
Principles: ....Broad community engagement is necessary in reviewing and prioritizing data activities; Data is only useful if it can be found, understood, and analyzed; ..International, interagency, and public-private partnerships are essential. Requirements:
A. Coherent Organizational Framework (Diversity of approaches; Communities of practice; Community proxy roles of collections; Dynamic and evolving system; Flexible Technological Architecture; Coherent Data Policies)
B. Flexible Technological Architecture (Layered capabilities; Metadata; Data analysis and visualization tools; Promoting use and stability of standards)
C. Coherent Data Policies (Transparent policy frameworks; Data management plans; Interagency coordination; International cooperation)
Rhusar Evaluation: Good material for overall strategy formulation. No specific guidance on howto.
