The first draft of the student instructions looks great! I added a few comments and questions via Track Changes; you can find those in the DataONE plone folder. We should check with Steph on this, but in general I think it might be worthwhile to beef up the introduction a Continue reading Comments on student instructions
Today was split between two tasks: rounding up the DOIs for the Data Collection Articles, and continuing to work on the classification of the data cited GEO articles. I found most of the DOIs for the Data Collection Articles in the Pangaea Dataset. This was pretty easy as most of Continue reading June 14, 2011 – DOIs and GEO tracking
I am writing up the student instructions. I finished the intruction page yesterday. I will upload whatever I’ve got onto the DataONE internal website at the end of the day, in case anyone is curious about progress.
Currently, I’m just going through a spreadsheet I have with several workflows in it, filling in all of the details for the classifications I am looking for. So far I’ve done a few, and more background reading on what it is exactly that I should be looking for. Talk soon. Continue reading Monday: Overview
Today has been spent searching Google Scholar for the GEO Accession numbers and importing the citations to Mendeley. Here is the Google Spreadsheet with the GEO search terms and number of Google Scholar hits. Here is the Mendeley Group with the citations and tags that I’ve applied. I imported approximately Continue reading June 13, 2011 – GEO Accession Number Search
This week, I will be writing up the instructions for student to investigate the correlations between host traits and parasite diversity, including the main instructions, and instructions for analyzing the data in R. I have gathered most of the R functions needed for this module. I will be following the Continue reading New week
I found a document in my DataONE folder with a list of around thirty or so articles that I had not download; I have got them now. Among them was an article mentioned in the Groth paper that we read for last week, Analyzing the Gap Between Workflows and their Descriptions. Continue reading Sunday: Readings
I’ve decided that the act of writing these things at the end of the day is actually a bit of a put-off, for me. It seems like an extra task, on top of what I am doing, just remembering what I am doing. So, hopefully, from now on I will Continue reading Sunday: Mendeley, Workflow Classification
Today I finished collecting the search results based on TreeBASE accession number from Google Scholar, imported the full text into Mendeley, and searched to determine if the dataset was reused or not. Search terms used and hits in Google Scholar can be found in this Google Spreadsheet. The citations and Continue reading June 12, 2011 – TreeBASE Accession Number Search
This week the LOD4DataONE research was formally started. During the last two weeks I performed initial research to select tools and a development platform that should help me keep the research objectives on schedule. This week my focus was on selecting the specific datasets and related RDF structure to use Continue reading Week One Update
