U.S.-China Workshop on International Research Data Management Training: A Proof-of-Concept Prototype Workshop for CERN

该提案将为负责CERN内部RDM系统设计的中国生态研究网络（CERN）科学家提供研究数据管理（RDM）培训，并作为与类似国际组织，特别是发展中国家合作的概念验证原型。开始解决长期生态研究（LTER）的RDM需求。信息技术也将有助于满足中国生态社区内的直接和记录的需求。为期12周的培训将涉及跨美国国家科学基金会LTER和欧洲核子研究中心网络管理LTER数据的基本概念，并将包括讲座、演示、讨论和动手计算机体验。LTER RDM人员将针对CERN的需求进行小组教学。培训将涵盖从设计和组织原则到实施的一系列RDM问题。讨论的重点将是国际合作和共享长期数据集的需要以及建立国际数据管理目标。这将为促进国际数据交换的协议和标准奠定基础，并为未来CERN-LTER的合作努力奠定基础。由此产生的课程将用于开发其他课程-量身定制每门课程，因为这门课程将适合新兴国际LTER项目的特殊需求。

This proposal will provide for research data management (RDM) training to Chinese Ecological Research Network (CERN) scientists responsible for design of a system of RDM within CERN, and serve as a proof-of-concept prototype for collaborations that could be achieved with similar international organizations, particularly developing countries, beginning to address RDM needs of long-term ecological research (LTER). IT will also serve to meet an immediate and documented need within the Chinese ecological community. The 12-week training will address basic concepts of managing LTER data across both the US-NSF LTER and CERN networks and will include lectures, demonstrations, discussion and hands-on computer experience. LTER RDM personnel will team-teach modules focused on the needs of CERN. The training will cover a range of RDM issues from principles of design and organization to implementation. Discussions will focus on the needs for international collaboration and sharing of long-term data sets and establishment of international data management objectives. This will establish groundwork for protocols and standards to facilitate international data exchange and set the stage for future CERN-LTER cooperative efforts. The resulting curriculum will be used to develop other courses - tailoring each, as this one will be to fit particular needs of emerging international LTER programs.
