Designing submission and workflow services for preserving interdisciplinary scientific data |
Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
Developments in information and communication technologies offer new opportunities to use and integrate scientific data that
have been collected by researchers and scholars from diverse fields of inquiry. Data archives and digital repository systems
are being developed to preserve current and legacy scientific data and technical information for use by others. However, capabilities
are needed for data producers of various disciplines to easily and efficiently submit their data into archival systems for
preservation. Analysis of digital preservation requirements has identified the requirements for services to support the submission
and review of scientific data for preservation. Data submission and review processes are segmented into services, which are
defined to support efficient preparation of scientific data for ingest into an archive or digital repository system. A model
is proposed to inform the design of submission and workflow services for preserving interdisciplinary scientific data. Recommendations
are offered for improving the design and evaluation of systems and services to prepare and preserve scientific data for new
uses by interdisciplinary communities of users in the future. Improving the infrastructure that enables members of the scientific
community to submit their data for archiving contributes to the scientific data stewardship and data curation capabilities
needed to preserve scientific data for future generations of users. |
