On June 9th, Patrick and I met up at RPI to discuss presentation strategies for provenance records in OPeNDAP. When provenance for an OPeNDAP data product is exposed, two things will regularly be present: references to specific OPeNDAP modules and their contributors. Therefore, providing a consumer access to this information Continue reading Week 3 Update
My labmate Yue has done some awesome work getting ontology search working, and we met early this week to discuss integrating it into the Annotator. One of the challenges with that is that there are already so many different aspects to the Annotator – windows for the data itself and Continue reading Week 4 – Combining efforts
I created a draft submission for internal review board approval of our plan to hand out some questionnaires at the DUG meeting. Hopefully the findings will be published, so it’s important to go about things properly. Specifically, I’ll be showing alternate video styles (more or fewer effects, such as animations Continue reading Brevity is the soul of scriptwriting – Screencast Tutorials, Week #4
Collaborative datasets and their resulting publications can produce some truly spectacular insights. But as more voices find their way into the collective conversation, managing the social interplay between partners can result in confusion and lost time – the continual headaches that creep up all too often in collaborative work. Meredith, Continue reading To Be, or Not To Be (an Author)
For this week, I did several things. First, I exported the latest SE software into a common package using Eclipse and released it here: http://nacp.ornl.gov/tools/se/SimilarityExplorer_v1.1.zip. At the meantime, I re-edit the tutorial and update the installation part. By doing all those, users can download the software and learn to use it, which Continue reading week 3
This week we have our web interface for earth science owl search set up: http://orion.tw.rpi.edu/~zhengj3/wod/earthsearch.php While I’m still debugging on some minor indexing issues which affect the search results. We discussed a lot regarding how to improve the performance, which includes further data pre-processing and new calculating methods for entity Continue reading Week 4 – Ontology search & individual facet
I worked with Stacy and Amber through the rough cut and fine cut of DataONE’s first Data Story inspired video. I know the anticipation is killing you but, I should be able to post it in its entireity on the DataONE vimeo site next week (once approved by a DataONE committee). Continue reading Week #05 : whet your palette
My major accomplishment in this week is that I finished the first round coding. Fifty-six papers were coded. I wrote in my blog last week that I found that most citizen science projects mentioned in those papers I coded in previous two weeks (the key words we used to search papers Continue reading Finished the first round coding – Week 4
This week I coded another 17 papers. So far I finished coding all the papers (N=36) which were found by using the key words, “citizen science” and “data quality”, to search in Scopus. While coding these papers helps me to understand each mechanism in the context of actual citizen science Continue reading Happy coding – week 3
By this week, I have completed the first cycle of coding for the meta-analysis. So far, I have read 55 papers and coded them. There were a lot of lessons to share with other team members such as the criteria of inclusion/exclusion of paper and distinct definitions for each quality Continue reading Week 4: The completion of the first cycle of coding
