Chronopolis -- Digital Preservation Program -- Long-Term Mass-Scale Federated Digital P... - 0 views

  •  
    The Chronopolis Digital Preservation Demonstration Project, one of the Library of Congress' latest efforts to collect and preserve at-risk digital information, has been officially launched as a multi-member partnership to meet the archival needs of a wide range of cultural and social domains. Chronopolis is a digital preservation data grid framework being developed by the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego , the UC San Diego Libraries (UCSDL) , and their partners at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Colorado and the University of Maryland's Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) . A key goal of the Chronopolis project is to provide cross-domain collection sharing for long-term preservation. Using existing high-speed educational and research networks and mass-scale storage infrastructure investments, the partnership is designed to leverage the data storage capabilities at SDSC, NCAR, and UMIACS to provide a preservation data grid that emphasizes heterogeneous and highly redundant data storage systems.

    Standard "on-demand" storage costs for UC researchers on the SDSC Cloud start at only $3.25 a month per 100GB (gigabytes) of storage. A "condo" option, which allows users to make cost-effective long term investment in hardware that becomes part of the SDSC Cloud, is also available. Full details can be found at https://cloud.sdsc.edu/hp/index.php.

Open access to research data a lot tougher than you think - 2 views

  • It means that researchers need to deal with the formatting and deposition of data, an annoying step when they would rather be focusing on their next project. Given the time lag, it's also difficult to associate the correct metadata with the material that's being a
  • According to the commentary, scientists view data deposition as a burden due to the extra work it involves. Research data is usually not in the correct format for submission to repositories when the project is completed, and so the scientist must take the time to convert it.
  • The authors here propose a new approach to data management, where each research institution should employ data managers to work with scientists and administer local, structured data storage. Local storage and support is the preference of most scientists, who would rather not hand off control of their data to remote strangers.
