Notes:

1. Progress on the implementation of our DMT Clearinghouse.

  • Re-focus on Roles to simplify; See new tab on the spreadsheet at: DMT_Clearinghouse Personas.
i. Link to the “DMT_Clearinghouse Personas” and “Roles_Workflow” spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MYU1heO-zBGSMJHiji-E9qGUYQlbnig6K0hiX-rr13Y/edit#gid=1852474797
ii. This link is also available on the “Clearinghouse Project” wiki page under the “Working Documents” section: http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Clearinghouse_Project
iii. Nancy provided an overview of the “Roles_Workflows” tab under the “DMT_Clearinghouse Personas” spreadsheet.
iv. Sophie added that these roles represented the main types of interactions or uses that our users might have with our Clearinghouse system. As a result, we could use these roles to guide the design and the implementation of the features on our Clearinghouse interfaces.
v. David also added that the condensed personas provided insights into the types of facets/controlled vocabularies we might need to develop as well as the priority that we would place on the implementation.


2. Future Meeting logistics' planning.

  • Nancy: Asked everyone to pencil in 9am PT/12pm ET on Thursdays for the Data Management Training/Clearinghouse Project activities.
i. The first Thursday of each month will continue to be the All-Call meetings, while other weeks can be used as needed by sub-groups such as the tech and metadata working groups for the Clearinghouse, or the analysis of role-based topics for the broader DMT effort. If there is no need to meet, the meeting can be canceled.


3. Research Data Management (RDM) Educational Effort by Research Data Alliance (RDA)/US - Ruth.

  • Ruth: Most key points have been covered during the above discussion, but she will be available to discuss in more detail at the next meeting.
