[Esip-preserve] AMS session on Data Stewardship - open for submissions

[Matthew Mayernik]

Hi all,
We are again organizing a session on Data Stewardship for the American
Meteorological Society 2016 annual meeting. We welcome submissions on a
variety of topics, as outlined below.
Please submit proposals electronically by August 1, 2015, to Amy Butros (
abutros at ucsd.edu), or through the AMS website at:

Joint session at the 2016 AMS Annual Meeting between the Atmospheric
Science Librarians International (ASLI) and the Conference on Environmental
Information Processing Technology (EIPT)

TITLE – Data Stewardship: Increasing Connectivity, Discoverability, and
Usability

The open availability and wide accessibility of scientific articles, data
sets, and other digital resources is becoming the norm for 21st century
science. Growing numbers of repositories of scientific resources enable
researchers to discover, understand, and build upon previous work at
greater scales than was previously possible. A key challenge for the data
stewardship community, however, is the current siloing of resources within
unconnected repositories. Many interrelationships exist between research
articles, data, software, and other services that are held in different
repositories or systems. Building a more interconnected web of repositories
would increase public access to geosciences information and data. It would
increase the visibility of data and information across the geosciences,
thereby increasing the discoverability and utility of data through
explicitly linking data to important documentation and associated tools and
services.

The data stewardship community is working toward a long term vision where
researchers can easily deposit resources in relevant repositories, and
links between repositories can be created routinely.

This session calls for submissions that present current work on any aspect
of this vision, including tools/processes for: exchanging information
across repositories, building connections between related resources (e.g.
data, software, services, etc.), measuring the impact that data sets or
repositories have within their user communities, among other topics.
Submissions may focus on technical, policy, or organizational developments,
and are welcomed for work based within data centers, libraries, and
scientific research/development organizations.
