Clearinghouse Project

From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)

Purpose

This wiki page intends to collect the resources, document development effort, and present information relevant to Data Management Training Clearinghouse project.

Introduction

The Data Management Clearinghouse project proposal was submitted in October 2015 in response to the Request for Proposal (RFP) from U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Community for Data Integration (CDI). CDI has since accepted and awarded the Clearinghouse project in March 2016. The Clearinghouse project will focus its effort on collecting and annotating learning resources and, eventually, training events related to data management for Earth sciences.

Item No. Objectives Timeline
1 Establish the Clearinghouse as a subdomain on ESIP’s Drupal content management program, including the development of text for the landing pages, and the mechanisms to support the workflow described below. April 2016
