Monday
Research Data Alliance: building an international data sharing community
Mark A. Parsons, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Project: Research Data Alliance
Abstract
This talk will give a brief overview of RDA, how it works, what it has done, and how it relates to a potential NDS.
EarthCube Test Enterprise Governance: Building from the ground up
Rachael Black, Arizona Geological Survey
Project: 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.
Survey of IEEE Research Authors
Ken Moore, IEEE
Project: Research to Assess Data Needs of IEEE Communities
Abstract
In 1Q 2014, IEEE surveyed ~1,000 authors in its fields of interest (electrical and electronics engineering, computer science and engineering) to determine their needs and interest in data services. The presentation will present highlights of the results.
Publishing Findings in the Life Sciences
Dan Hall, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
Project: National Database for Autism Research (NDAR) Informatics Platform
Abstract
The autism community defined the goal to share 90% of all human subjects research data. Through a Subject Identifier, harmonized data definition, data federation with other public and private funders, and progressive data sharing policies/techniques, research data on 77,500 subjects related to autism are now shared. Analyzed results, specifically associated with the outcome measures, and research subjects defined by cohorts is supported. In our lightning talk I will present the NDAR model for data sharing focusing on the scientific and computational results (see data from papers), which is likely relevant to the creation of a National Data Service.
