Introduction to the Environmental Data Initiative (EDI)
- 1. The Environmental Data Initiative (EDI) Supporting Curation and Archiving of Environmental Data EDI is funded by the NSF DEB Corinna Gries & EDI Team
- 2. History - we are standing on the shoulders of giants Almost 40 years of LTER data management experience 1980s Repository Infrastructure 2010 DataONE Member Node 2015 Digital Object Identifiers Minted EDI
- 3. Mission and Goals Accelerate the curation, archiving, and dissemination of environmental data Ensure that environmental data are: ● Deposited into a data repository for long-term preservation and data integrity ● Easily discoverable and seamlessly accessible ● Documented with rich science metadata to enable reuse and integration
- 4. Data submitted to EDI Long term data sets - regular updating (e.g. LTER, LTREB, OBFS) Data associated with one project (e.g., MSB, other short term funding) Data from a single investigator lab Data associated with a publication (may be subsets, usually are well curated)
- 5. Curation Support Data curation support for data providers ● Experienced data managers on staff ● Consultation ● Training ● In person courses ● Online ● Internships ● Data Curation Tool Development
- 6. Archiving Certified and registered as trustworthy repository (re3data, Nature, ESA, others) Data are documented in Ecological Metadata Language standard High quality standards enforced through automated congruence and completeness checking
- 7. Dissemination EDI search interface DataONE member node Google Dataset Search Digital Object Identifier (DOI) through DataCite Collaborations with FAIR project, journal publishers Linking of publications and data sets Documentation of data provenance
- 8. Data Package Landing Page Citation suggestion Provenance information Code generation
