  13. GOSC DataIO WG Briefings...

On Tuesday 10 May, the GOSC DataIO WG held two sessions to provide briefings on the case study activity that the WG will be undertaking.

Description:

The GOSC initiative aims to encourage cooperation, alignment and interoperability among Open Science infrastructure initiatives globally.  In turn, the GOSC DataIO WG seeks to explore, document and encourage good practice for the interoperability of data and metadata. To this end the WG will work with Case Studies from the GOSC initiative and elsewhere to understand challenges, successes and emerging solutions.

In these two briefing events, the GOSC DataIO WG Co-Chairs presented a Case Study Template and discussed how it can be used (in a structured interview); two worked examples were also presented (from ARDC and Geosciences Australia and from a Notre Dame/South Bed Study on Lead Poisoning). The purpose of the session was to invite colleagues from the DataIO WG, and from outside the WG, to undertake a case study on an appropriate data project or data set. The existing GOSC subject-area case studies are particularly welcome but the activity is not limited to these.  Our objective is to better understand developments around the world so that we can ultimately develop recommendations on good practice for addressing (data and metadata) interoperability.
