This morning I finished finding the DOIs for the Data Collection Article for the GEOROC datasets.  I did a trial search on Google Scholar with the search terms GEOROC8501 OR GEOROC 8501.  However, after collecting 16 articles found by searching for the first 20 datasets, none actually cited the data.  Continue reading June 16, 2011 – GEOROC data repository

Provenance Repository and Publishing Toolkit Project

Welcome to the DataONE Summer Internship project on Scientific Workflow Provenance.  The goals of this project are to develop a provenance repository system for publishing and sharing data provenance collected from runs of a number of scientific workflow systems (Kepler, Taverna, Vistrails), together with a provenance trace publication system that allows Continue reading Provenance Repository and Publishing Toolkit Project

About Our Project

Scientific Workflow Provenance Repository and Publishing Toolkit Scientific workflow systems are increasingly used to automate scientific computations and data analysis and visualization pipelines. An important feature of scientific workflow systems is their ability to record and subsequently query and visualize provenance information. Provenance includes the processing history and lineage of Continue reading About Our Project

Nevertheless, it wouldn’t hurt to include some information in the instruction, or maybe Continue reading student instruction
