Data Working Group

USGS is attempting to corral / manage geological & geophysical preservation efforts.

Great approach!

Really nice resource of research articles, tools, and policies for geo data and beyond.

Smithsonian will develop a policy for biology data sharing. Also more standardization for small-science research groups.

There are a lot of scientific data repositories in China that have been growing since the 90's. Interesting sea change of ethics and sharing practices.

Note extensive use of citation standards, download statistics and citation statistics when they can get them. Also, co-sponsored by Minnesota Population Center (MPC) and some of the data totally free to all users.

Each element could be thought of as a microservice. Perhaps something we could recommend or host locally.

The Australian national data service site; cool because they distinguish between depositing data and registering its existence and each is a different service. Even though we're a single university, offering a registry might appeal to those sections of the U that are more interested in autonomy while still giving us some information about who does what here on campus.

interesting about the community research networks.

maybe some more info for our Data citation page on the website...nice examples anyway
