Computational Infrastructure for the Future

Project aims supported by CISE/ACI:• Share ultra-deep CMB polarization maps from SPUD,

BICEP2, BICEP1, and DASI• Develop and disseminate complete data products and

software tools that broaden the use and impact of path finding surveys while setting what are expected to be useful standards for others to do the same

• Derive needed portable data products and software tools, test them in key joint analyses of overlapping maps with external collaborators

• Share data products and software tools with the full astrophysics community

• Encourage independent reanalysis of findings

Developing Sustainable Data Discovery & Interoperability Solutions

The DataONE Data (Observation Network for Earth) award was made in 2009 for five years as a cooperative agreement. The main goals of the program were to:

Address the growing environmental, social, and technological challenges facing the world, scientists, educators, librarians, resource managers, and the public need for open, persistent, robust, and secure access to well-described and easily discovered Earth observational data.

DataONE was designed to provide the distributed framework, sound management, and reliable technologies which enable the long-term preservation of diverse and complex multi-scale, multi-discipline, and multi-national science data.

DataONE would initially emphasize multi-disciplinary observational data collected by biological (genome to ecosystem) and environmental (atmospheric, ecological, hydrological, and oceanographic) scientists, national and international research networks, and environmental observatories.

However, the DataONE structure was not domain-specific, and would be extended to serve a broader range of science domains both directly and through interoperability with other DataNet deployments.

Developing Sustainable Data Discovery & Interoperability Solutions

DataONE consists of 3 Coordinating Nodes (US/SB; U. New Mexico and U. Tenn/Oak Ridge) that provide the bridge for data retained by 34 Member nodes.

The Coordinating Nodes

Retain Complete Metadata Catalog

Indexing for search

Network-Wide services

Ensure Content availability (Preservation)

Replication Services

Indexing for search

Developing Sustainable Data Discovery & Interoperability Solutions

DataONE Member Nodes

Implemented @ diverse, globally distributed, institutions

Also serving local disciplinary communities

Provide Resources for managing their data

Retain copies of data

Users can access the data retained at the Member Nodes quickly and efficiently.

Developing Sustainable Data Discovery & Interoperability Solutions

DataONE has interacted with almost 20,000 users; has 462,00 objects, 150,000 datasets and about 200,000 metadata records. It is a large and diverse community with 55 partnering projects and 300 plus collaborators with 170 plus persons that are active in the DataONE Users Groups as well as many and varied training workshops.

DataONE has been actively involved with federal, local government agencies, as well as industry (such as Microsoft), contributed to OSTP lead safety data challenge to improve public preparedness & emergency response, advised OSTP on Big Data challenges, advised the Federal Reserve Bank regarding data focused cyberinfrastructure topics.
