USGS data are one of the most valuable assets of the organization, and it is critical that we ensure our scientists and staff produce and manage data in such a way that at the completion of a project, the data continues to be accessible in useable formats, documented so it can be understood, and preserved properly for future uses. Principal Investigator : Vivian B Hutchison Cooperator/Partner : Lisa Zolly, Michelle Y Chang, Heather S Henkel, Thomas E Burley, Chatfield Thomas A, Carly Strasser The goals of this project included: produce three online training modules that relay the importance of data management, best practices for planning, and guidance for preparing science data to share; target audiences of...
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...
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...
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...
