Beyond gaining a sense about the direct value of the RAMADDA software in building an Earth Science Collaboratory, this hackathon may help build understanding about key tenets of the ESC, whether or not RAMMADA is employed. To this end, attendees are encouraged to reflect on some or all of the following outline as they work on the hot topics listed above and to record their reactions for future consideration as the ESC concept takes shape.

The Long Hot Summer of 2012 - An Experiment in Science Collaboration

Come one, come all, to experiment with science collaboration using the RAMADDA tool

We'll be collecting data, information and other resources related to the "hot" topics this summer, including:

  1. the derecho of June 29
  2. the fires in Colorado in June and July
  3. the drought in Kansas
  4. the heat waves of May / June / July (take your pick!)
  5. socio-economic impacts (agriculture, water resources, ...)

When???

ESIP 2012 Summer session Earth Science Collaboratory Hackathon on Friday, July 20 @ 8:30am-10:00am

Who Can Participate?

Anyone! Just send an email to christopher.s.lynnes@nasa.gov, hook.hua@jpl.nasa.gov, emily.s.law@jpl.nasa.gov or jeff.mcwhirter@gmail.com to get an account. Ideally beforehand, but we welcome walk-ins as well.

What Do I Need?

Just a laptop! Or even a tablet! Bring data resources (as URLs or files) if you have 'em. If not, we'll set you up with some suggestions (see below).

Want to Get Started Early?

Email one of the admins (see above), and then get started on the repository at: http://ec2-50-16-106-229.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080/repository/

Beyond gaining a sense about the direct value of the RAMADDA software in building an Earth Science Collaboratory, this hackathon may help build understanding about key tenets of the ESC, whether or not RAMMADA is employed. To this end, attendees are encouraged to reflect on some or all of the following outline as they work on the hot topics listed above and to record their reactions for future consideration as the ESC concept takes shape.

  • The priority of collaboration requirements for a short but extensible list of compatible data models/data types
  • The pros & cons of realizing a collaboratory by installing apps on end-user computers
  • The priority of collaboration requirements for dynamic levels of privacy/sharing
  • The priority of collaboration requirements for informal data publication
  • The priority of collaboration requirements for content management
  • The merits modeling collaboration as a natural extension--with dynamic privacy/sharing--of individual users' own personal
    • Note taking (as in the field, e.g.)
    • Data discovery, analysis & visualization
    • Data assembly & synthesis
    • Data-centered blogging
    • Wiki's, schedules...
  • The merits of an ESC architecture with plug-ins as the means for
    • Adding new data sources
    • Adding new data models/types
    • Integrating new analysis/visualization tools
