Preservation Planning

Abstract/Agenda: 

We will review status of the various active activities in the cluster and discuss future plans. Those activities include: Data Stewardship Principles, Preservation Use Cases, Identifiers, Citations, Provenance and Context Content Standard, and Preservation Ontology.

Data Stewardship Principles

  • Principles baseline (Ruth/Rama)
  • Governance -- new charge from Assembly to maintain the document
  • What about the 'will'?

Data Citations

  • Guidelines baseline (Mark)
  • Governance -- new charge from Assembly to maintain the document
  • Outreach

Identifiers

  • Data Identifiers
  • Data identifiers paper published (Ruth)
  • Testbed (Nancy)
  • NASA ESDIS DOI initiative (John Moses)
  • NASA GCMD DOI metadata field (Tyler)
  • NOAA DOI initiative? (Jeff DLB)
  • Identifiers for other preservation related artifacts?
  • Linking with other related?

Provenance and Context Content Standard (PCCS)

  • Status (Rama)
  • NASA specification (Rama)
  • Baseline? Plans?

Preservation Use Cases

  • How to organize/develop these? (Curt)

Preservation Ontology

  • Concept mapping (Hook)
  • other ontologies to link into
Notes: 

Key Topics

  • Newly Created Data Preservation Committee, Curt is the new chair of the committee
    • Charged with Data Citation and Data Stewardship documents maintainace
  • Ruth’s Identifiers paper publish in Earth Science Informatics

Other/Notes

ESIP Assembly voted to create the Data Stewardship Committee

ESIP Assembly charged the new committee with maintaining the Data Stewardship and Data Citation Documents.

  • There is a need to publicize, suggested on ESIP Commons.
  • The guidelines aren’t mandates, they can be adopted or used piecemeal
  • Updating the documents is a source of uncertainty
    • Take major revisions to full Assembly not just committee
    • How often to modify?-Suggested an annual review statement in doc
  • Outreach for making documents known.
  • Publicize documnets through members own networks
    • Press release and/or EOS-like article

PCCS needs to be made implementable, this is through an ontology that is independent of person/project/etc.

  • Things to do: needs concrete, unambiguous vocabulary
Actions: 

Possible Action Items Mark Parsons and Ruth Duerr work on news release drafts for Data Citation and Data Preservation Guidelines nad BEst Practices Documents
