作者:Borgman, Christine L.;金沙,阿什利;Wynholds劳拉;摘要:我们分析了大型天文巡天项目的建设、维护和管理中涉及的人员和基础设施。我们的研究评估了哪些新的基础设施、劳动分工、知识和专业技能是正确处理数据所必需的。在2011年5月至2012年2月期间,我们以斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)数据为重点进行了14次访谈。SDSS是一个多方面、多阶段的数据驱动望远镜项目,有数百名合作者和数千名开放数据用户。Follow The Data访谈协议确定由每个受访者撰写的单个出版物,并将其用作回顾和展望的镜头,以确定进入和退出出版物的数据使用。这些访谈揭示了这些天文学家为他们的研究发现、定位、检索和存储外部数据的方式。任何给定的天文学研究项目都可能采用多种方法来发现、定位、检索和存储多个数据集。我们的研究发现,非正式和正式的方法被用来发现和定位数据,包括人与人之间的接触。数据检索和存储方法通常由数据集的大小和研究人员可用的基础设施的数量决定。随着获得更多的数据和更好的工具,天文学研究实践正在迅速发展。海报展示将进一步报告如何在天文学中使用和重复使用这些数据。Sands, A, Borgman, C.

Author(s): Borgman, Christine L.; Sands, Ashley; Wynholds, Laura; Traweek, Sharon | Abstract: We analyze the people and infrastructure involved in the building, sustaining, and curation of large astronomy sky surveys. Our research assesses what new infrastructures, divisions of labor, knowledge, and expertise are necessary for the proper care of data. Between May 2011- February 2012, we conducted fourteen interviews employing Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data use as the focus. SDSS is a multi-faceted, multi-phased data-driven telescope project with hundreds of collaborators and thousands of users of the open data. The Follow the Data interview protocol identifies a single publication authored by each interviewee and uses it as a lens looking backward and forward to identify data uses leading into and out of the publication. The interviews revealed the ways these astronomers discover, locate, retrieve, and store external data for their research. Any given astronomy research project may employ multiple methods to discover, locate, retrieve, and store multiple datasets. Our research finds that informal and formal methods are used to discover and locate data, including person-to-person contact. Data retrieval and storage methods are often determined by the size of the dataset and the amount of infrastructure available to the researcher. Astronomy research practices are evolving rapidly with access to more data and better tools. The poster presentation will report further on how those data are used and reused in astronomy.
