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,...
Legacy data (n) - Information stored in an old or obsolete format or computer system that is, therefore, difficult to access or process. (Business Dictionary, 2016) For over 135 years, the U.S. Geological Survey has collected diverse information about the natural world and how it interacts with society. Much of this legacy information is one-of-a-kind and in danger of being lost forever through decay of materials, obsolete technology, or staff changes. Several laws and orders require federal agencies to preserve and provide the public access to federally collected scientific information. The information is to be archived in a manner that allows others to examine the materials for new information or interpretations....
