2012 Updates (from the FY12 Annual Review) The NWIS Web Services Snapshot represents the next generation of data retrieval and management. The newest Snapshot tool allows instant access to NWIS data from four different web services through ArcGIS, software available to all USGS scientists in all mission areas. Increased data retrieval efficiency reduces the steps required to retrieve and compile water data from multiple sites from what can be more than 30 steps to just a few clicks. As an end-user education tool, it promotes use of NWIS data from both web services and the NWIS database, which increases the production of scientific research and analysis that uses NWIS data. The Snapshot database design enables efficient...
2012 Updates - Phase 2 (information from the FY12 CDI Annual Report) This project solicited input from USGS Mission Areas, Geographic Areas, CDI, etc. on Phase 1 FY11 Data Management Education Products. The proposal called for an interface with Data Management Website Working Group to make materials available. The work also included the development of content for a USGS data management training program based upon existing materials and data management training. Finally, development of a format/structure for data management training workshop was completed. Principal Investigator : Heather S Henkel, Vivian B Hutchison Benefits Inform and encourage broadest possible application of data Management best practices...
The Fort Collins Science Center Web Applications Team, the Core Science Analytics and Synthesis unit of the Core Science Systems Mission Area, and a North Central Climate Science Center/NCAR/NOAA partnership group collaborated on a set of automated tools to allow remapping of the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata standards to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) metadata standards. This project addressed the challenge of expediting the conversion of millions of metadata records in multiple USGS catalogs that run the risk of being left in a deprecated transfer format. The project set the stage for metadata conversions by: 1. Providing roadmaps and automated processes to remap FGDC...
The CDI Data Management Best Practices Focus Group—led by John Faundeen—determined that the best path to success in preserving and making our science accessible lies in identifying and consistently applying data management standards, tools, and methods at each stage of what the group terms the “USGS scientific data life cycle.” To assist in achieving this goal, the group developed a Scientific Life Cycle Model that accurately captures how USGS scientists conduct their projects, reflecting the stages that science data go through from initial selection through collection, preparation, use, dissemination, and final disposition. The Group designed a visual representation of the Model to articulate its key components,...
2012 Updates (from the 2012 CDI Annual Review): This proposal would continue the building of website content, including: best practices, tools, recommended reading, and data management planning tool. It also includes a usability testing on the website. It also calls for on-going maintenance of the website and its content. Principal Investigator : Heather S Henkel, Vivian B Hutchison Cooperator/Partner : Michelle Y Chang, Lisa Zolly, Rebecca Uribe, Trent Faust Benefits USGS researchers will have easy access to the standards, tools, and best practices Centralized, CDI-vetted reference for scientists Deliverables A Data Management Web site: www.usgs.gov/datamanagement/ Poster presented and demonstration given...
The Center for Biological Informatics (CBI, now reorganized into the Core Science Analytics and Synthesis unit of the Core Science Systems Mission Area) and the Fort Collins Science Center Web Applications Team joined resources to integrate their respective Metadata Tool and ScienceBase system: Incorporated the CBI-developed Metadata Tool into ScienceBase metadata workflow. This work involved diagraming how several independently developed systems can work together to manage data in the USGS, and make it available to partners and the public. See the illustration of the USGS data management workflow from the 2011 CDI Annual Report (link in Resource section below). Designed and built a rich user interface client that...
An additional product not originally on the funded activities list was organized for the newly-formed Science Data Coordinator Network. The Network invited 2 representatives from each of the USGS geographic areas, and several mission areas, to participate in a Data Management Workshop. The Workshop was organized by Viv Hutchison and taught by Tom Chatfield of the Bureau of Land Management. The course was very well received and requests to repeat the workshop have been numerous. This response emphasizes the need for data management training in the USGS, thus the creation of USGS specific training materials. Data management education in USGS is critical to building a culture that understands its importance and incorporates...
