Individual Development Through Data
Matthew Turk, NCSA
Project: yt-project.org
Abstract
The most powerful phase transition in a research career occurs when an individual begins to drive their own scientific inquiry. In this
talk, I will describe how with the yt project (yt-project.org) our community has attempted to develop an enabling technology for individuals to ask questions of data, and how this philosophy can be applied elsewhereProject: EarthCube Test Enterprise Governance
Abstract
This presentation will provide a brief summary of our efforts to engage the Geosciences community in designing a prototype governance framework for EarthCube. Additionally, it will provide an overview of next steps in the process, including gathering community feedback on the Charter, and implementing a one year test governance structure.
Big Data Comes to School: Challenges the Learning Sciences
William Cope, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Project: UIUC College of Education
Abstract
This brief presentation will provide an overview of emerging “big data” challenges in education, including the range of data sources, data types and data collection technologies, and the problem for meta-analysis presented by variant data models. Successfully addressing these challenges could reap significant dividends for education, not only transforming the methodologies and processes of educational research, but also for the development of a new generation of student assessments. I will conclude by proposing in outline form a ‘National Data Dictionary’ that might support the federation of datasets that are at this point semantically incommensurable.

The Role of Publishers in Data Access
Jennifer Lin, PLOS
Project: PLOS
Abstract
The role of publishers in data access is quickly evolving as attention to its importance grows. In this talk, I will present PLOS's perspective in light of its new data availability policy and the engaging discussions we have had with the scientific community from the outset of defining the policy through to its implementation.
Survey of IEEE Research Authors

Project: Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP), EarthCube
Abstract
We live in a world rich with data, where use and reuse would benefit not just science but also serve national security and society-at-large. However, our scientific data enterprise is evolving and maturing in an unmanaged fashion and due to insufficient coordination across planning, management, and resources, the potential benefits of all these data are not realized. Reliable, long term funding as well as cultural changes including financial incentives and rewards are needed to turn Science Data Infrastructure into a first class citizen equal to Science. The National Data Service has the potential opportunity to provide this overarching national coordination.
