CPS will host a special seminar by Dr. Robert J. Hanisch on Thursday, December 17 at 11:00 AM CT. Join via Zoom: https://argonne.zoomgov.com/j/1607352298?pwd=U3J0dGpTNEZhT292dUdZSFJkRkZ6UT0... Dr. Robert J. Hanisch Director, Office of Data and Informatics, Material Measurement Laboratory National Institute of Standards and Technology Dr. Robert J. Hanisch is the director of the Office of Data and Informatics (ODI) within the Material Measurement Laboratory at NIST (since July 2014). He is focused on providing data management and dissemination services for NIST research data products, including the Standard Reference Data collection and the Materials Genome Initiative. He is active in national and international data sharing and interoperability initiatives such as the National Data Service Consortium and the Research Data Alliance. The preliminary draft of the NIST work on the Research Data Framework can be accessed at https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/research-data-framework-rdaf “Data Management at NIST and the NIST Research Data Framework” Over the past several years NIST has embarked on a number of initiatives to improve the management and dissemination of research data. These include the development of a NIST-wide public data repository, deployment of a Configurable Data Curation System, development of data discovery platforms through resource registries, use of electronic lab notebooks, and development of a laboratory information management system (LIMS) for electron microscopy. We also participate in research data organizations such as CODATA, the Research Data Alliance, the World Data System, and GO-FAIR, and in a number of federal advisory committees and National Academy events. Starting a year ago we also initiated work on a Research Data Framework (RDaF), the goals of which are to document the research data landscape and provide organizations with guidance on how to plan, operate, and maintain a research data infrastructure. In 2021 we intend to run two pilot projects to test the RDaF concept: a discipline-oriented study in materials science and a broad stakeholder study with research universities, libraries, and scholarly publishers. -- Computing mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cels.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/computing
