Much of the research for this project is coming from publicly available data. There are five types of data that are being gathered: Workflow programs: Taverna and Kepler are the most used, but there are other workflow programs out there that have a tradition in the sciences. We hope that Continue reading Participate
Understanding how scientists analyze data Scientists use a wide variety of tools and techniques to manage and analyze data. However, to our knowledge no one has taken a systematic look at how scientists do their work. In this project, we will examine a large number of the scientific workflows that Continue reading About Our Project
This is the official blog for Richard Littauer’s work on the DataOne internship about Workflows. He’ll be posting here about anything interesting that he finds, any updates on the progress of the research, and anything of use to the general public. He’ll also be posting his notes, daily, as he Continue reading About This Blog
Integrating loosely structured data into the Linked Open Data cloud Background The Linked Data conventions describe four principles that allow data of any kind and from any online source to form a global interconnected web of data. These four principles are: i) Name every “thing” that has some data or Continue reading About this project
Shan will create an educational module for use in undergraduate classrooms โ the module will be designed to teach basic principles in ecology or environmental science using data that are publicly available through the DataONE (www.dataone.org) network. Shan will work with mentors to choose appropriate data sets, questions and analyses, Continue reading About the project
Stay tuned for updates on Shan’s project.
DataONE is developing online learning modules designed to educate DataONE users in various aspects of the data lifecycle. This project involves: 1) researching and acquiring software that can produce high quality online learning; 2) developing online learning modules using pre-prepared power point slides produced by the DataONE Community Engagement and Continue reading About the project
This is an open notebook documenting Melody’s internship project for DataONE. Stay tuned for updates!
No one is certain how much ecological data exists, or how this amount compares to the volume of data currently housed in repositories such as Knowledge Network for Biocomplexity (KNB). It would be useful to determine this for designing infrastructure, but also as a call to arms for ecologists to Continue reading About the project
