Presentation Transcript

  1. DataSpace Community Building & Partnerships NSF DataNet site visit to MIT February 8, 2010 NSF Site Visit to MIT DataSpace

  2. What Communities? • Research Universities (and other research-generating organizations) • Institutional Partners and DuraSpace • Emphasis on libraries, archives, IT and research computing departments • Scientific research communities • Institutional Partners and Participating Scientists • Technology infrastructure community • Technology company partners, advisory board • The wider public • Citizen Science, OpenCourseWare NSF Site Visit to MIT DataSpace

  3. Distributed Model • Research-generating organizations manage locally-produced data • Not necessarily perform all aspects of the curation lifecycle • Leverage institutional CI, expertise and support services (e.g. libraries, archives, IT departments) • Leverage direct access to scientists Example: HMI study at MIT http://hmi.ucsd.edu/research_case_summary.php NSF Site Visit to MIT DataSpace

  4. Institutional Partners • Libraries at MIT, Georgia Tech, Oregon State, Rice University • serve many scientific disciplines • active, experienced in digital library, archives, preservation • committed to data curation services • Masdar (international partner) • DSpace Foundation  DuraSpace NSF Site Visit to MIT DataSpace

  5. Science Partners Now: Neuroscience and Biological Oceanography (MIT, Georgia Tech, OSU) Next: Nanotechnology (Rice, MIT); HEP (Rice); Forrestry, Wave Energy (OSU) Then: ongoing outreach and recruitment by campus service providers (e.g. library, IT department) Value to scientists leads to word-of-mouth marketing and broad adoption NSF Site Visit to MIT DataSpace

  6. Technology Partners • EMC, Google, HP Labs, Microsoft • Hardware, Software, Services; General purpose and science-specific • Demonstrates commercial interest in research data curation, brings value to science and sustainability to CI NSF Site Visit to MIT DataSpace

  7. The Wider Public • Open Educational Publishing: collaborate with OCW for research data used in teaching • Enhanced Publishing: collaborate with NPG, Thomson, PLoS, etc., on new models for research publishing (e.g. Science Commons) • Citizen Science: public engagement as a form of outreach and education NSF Site Visit to MIT DataSpace
