Data Integration: Enabling the Acceleration of Science Through Connectivity, Collaboration, and Convergent Science
Session ID#: 81984
Session Description:
Earth, space, and environmental scientists are pushing the boundaries of human understanding of our complex world every day. They seek and use larger and more varied data in their research with a growing need for data integration and synthesis across scientific domains. Data repositories are a critical resource to the research ecosystem providing data, information and tools that enable the use and understanding of the data. This session explores the challenges and successes repository managers and communities have in providing support and services to researchers interested in accessing and using data from multiple sources and scientific domains with unfamiliar formats, and unknown quality and uncertainty. We seek methods for identifying and communicating best practices and challenges in this diverse data environment.
