[ECOLOG-L] Upcoming DataONE Webinar: Empowering Earth Science Communities to Share Data Through Guided Metadata Improvement
Dear Ecolog Community Please be reminded of our upcoming January DataONE Webinar Series event ( www.dataone.org/webinars). *Empowering Earth Science Communities to Share Data Through Guided Metadata Improvement* Tedd Habermann (HDF Group), Lindsay Powers (HDF Group) and Matt Jones (NCEAS/DataONE) Tuesday *February 9th at 9:00am Pacific / 12:00 noon Eastern*. The webinar abstract is available below. There is no cost to registration however you must pre-register at: www.dataone.org/upcoming-webinar.

More information on the DataONE Webinar Series can be found at: www.dataone.org/webinars and we welcome suggestions for speakers and topics. Best Amber Webinar Abstract: Earth Science communities can improve the discoverability, use and understanding of their data by improving the completeness and consistency of their metadata. Despite the potential for a great payoff, resources to invest in this work are often limited. We are working with DataONE Member Nodes to quantitatively evaluate their metadata and to identify specific strategies to improve the completeness and consistency of their metadata. We have developed an iterative, guided process intended to efficiently improve metadata to better serve their own communities, as well as share data across disciplines. The community specific approach focuses on community metadata requirements, and also provides guidance on adding other metadata concepts to expand the effectiveness of metadata for multiple uses, including data discovery, data understanding, and data re-use. The end goal of this work is to help communities improve their metadata based on their own requirements through time. We will present the results of a baseline analysis of more than 25 diverse metadata collections from established data repositories representing communities across the earth and environmental sciences. The baseline analysis describes the current state of the metadata in these collections and highlights areas for improvement. We compare these collections to demonstrate exemplar practitioners that can provide guidance to other communities. In addition, we are building web-based tools based on a common metadata evaluation library that can be incorporated into community tools such as metadata editors and repository platforms, as well as form the core of a metadata completeness reporting service that is integrated within specific partner information systems such as the DataONE Coordinating Node services and the Mercury Online Metadata Editor. This aspect of the project is forthcoming and we will discuss the plans for the future. -- Amber E Budden, PhD Director for Community Engagement and Outreach DataONE University of New Mexico 1312 Basehart SE Albuquerque, NM 87106 Tel: 505-814-1112 Cell: 505-205-7675 Fax: 505-246-6007

Best Amber Webinar Abstract: Drawing from examples within the taxonomic and natural history collection communities, this webinar will detail the data types and challenges of biological specimen data. We’ll explore the value and import of data quality open resources, the current status of data assurance practices as well as some more practical 'how-to’ examples of implementing data quality assurance (QA) methods. For example, QA of publicly shared data is critical for effective use and reuse. As part of the data life cycle, QA often occurs following the collection of data. However, planning for quality assurance in advance of data collection is time efficient and much cheaper than trying to clean up and standardize later. QA planning can help avoid commonly occurring data collection / entry errors. -- Amber E Budden, PhD Director for Community Engagement and Outreach DataONE University of New Mexico 1312 Basehart SE Albuquerque, NM 87106 Tel: 505-814-1112 Cell: 505-205-7675 Fax: 505-246-6007 -- Amber E Budden, PhD Director for Community Engagement and Outreach DataONE University of New Mexico 1312 Basehart SE Albuquerque, NM 87106 Tel: 505-814-1112 Cell: 505-205-7675 Fax: 505-246-6007
