Agenda

1. Review notes and ideas from February
2. 3 Slides for ESIP Collaboration Area Highlights

Goal: summarize our activities to the rest of the Federation, solicit ideas or members.

Background

Our original raison d'etre

This group formed in late 2015 to investigate pathways for sustainable, increased collaboration and coordination among repositories engaged in environmental data management that would benefit both research networks and individual investigators. Although the participants are all associated with repositories, the goal is sustainability of the data holdings, not necessarily the repository. The group has three major activities:

• Develop a framework for describing Return on Investment (ROI) in data repositories;
• Describe the landscape of data services offered by repositories, to identify gaps; and
• Define a Common Technical Vision which best sustains data.

  • Paper: Parr, C., C. Gries, M. O'Brien, R. R. Downs, R. Duerr, R. Koskela, P. Tarrant, K. E. Maull, N. Hoebelheinrich, S. Stall. 2019. A Discussion of Value Metrics for Data Repositories in Earth and Environmental Sciences. Data Science Journal. https://doi.org/10.5334/dsj-2019-058

Describing the landscape of data services offered by repositories, to identify gaps;

This topic is being covered by RE3data (https://www.re3data.org/). Our involvement with them has been intended to further this objective

Define a Common Technical Vision to sustain data.

• • Held a followup workshop in Santa Barbara: Developing a Common Technical Vision for Repository Interoperability
