EAGER: Repository Cross-Linking for Open Archiving and Sharing of Scientific Data and Articles

科学文章、数据集和其他数字资源的开放可用性和广泛访问性正在成为21世纪世纪科学的标准。越来越多的科学资源库使研究人员能够以比以前更大的规模发现、理解和建立以前的工作。研究文章、数据、软件和其他用于产生科学发现的服务之间存在许多相互关系。然而，这些资源的存储库通常只支持一种特定类型的资源，或者最多支持两种资源类型，例如数据和软件。这导致了大量存储库中的信息孤岛。科学资源的生产者和用户将受益于具有不同专业的储存库和用户社区在技术和流程层面上的合作，以提供比任何一个储存库所能提供的更多的服务。通过制定共同的工作流程和信息交换协议，该项目将展示如何以在相关资源（例如数据、软件、服务等）之间建立联系的方式建立储存库的相互联系。该项目将提供一个模型，说明不同资源的多个储存库如何通过互补的工作流程和元数据共享来交换和连接相关信息。该项目考虑了两种不同的情况：1）连接已经由存储库托管的资源，以及2）连接新存放到存储库中的资源。这些是数据、文章和软件存储库中的常见情况。案例1回顾过去，案例2展望未来。该项目将产生一个储存库交叉连接的试点实施，使用由大学大气研究公司（UCAR）/国家大气研究中心（NCAR）提供和管理的两个储存库作为开发平台：1）OpenSky存储库，它托管并提供对UCAR和NCAR工作人员制作的奖学金记录的访问，是发布NCAR技术说明系列的平台，2）是地球系统网格（ESG），这是NCAR托管的基础设施，用于分发和访问气候模型，数据和软件。在储存库之间建立连接，可增加公众获取地球科学信息和数据的机会，方法是提高数据和信息在以前未连接的系统中的可见度，从而提高可重复性，并通过将数据与重要文件明确联系起来提高数据的效用。项目成果将通过一个讲习班与相关利益攸关方社区分享和探讨，并与通过EarthCube聚集在一起的社区，即地球科学、信息学专家、科学出版商和数据储存库分享和探讨。

The open availability and wide accessibility of scientific articles, data sets, and other digital resources is becoming the norm for 21st century science. Growing numbers of repositories of scientific resources enable researchers to discover, understand, and build upon previous work at greater scales than was previously possible. Many interrelationships exist between research articles, data, software, and other services used to produce scientific findings. Repositories for these resources, however, typically only supporting one particular kind of resource, or at most will support a couple of resource types, such as data and software. This has led to the siloing of information in a vast number of repositories. Producers and users of scientific resources would benefit from repositories with different specializations and user communities working together at a technical and process level to provide greater services than any one repository can provide. Through developing common workflows and information exchange protocols, this project will demonstrate how repository interconnections can be built in ways that establish connections between related resources (e.g. data, software, services, etc.). This project will provide a model for how multiple repositories of diverse resources can exchangeand connect related information via complementary workflows and metadata sharing. The projectwill consider two different cases: 1) connecting resources that are already hosted by repositories,and 2) connecting resources as they are newly deposited into repositories. These are commoncases among data, articles, and software repositories. Case #1 looks backward in time, andcase #2 looks forward in time. This project will produce a pilot implementation of repository cross-linking, using two repositories provided and managed by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) / National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) as the development bed: 1) the OpenSky repository, which hosts and provides access to the record of scholarship produced by UCAR and NCAR staff, and is the platform for publishing the NCAR Technical Notes series, and 2) is the Earth System Grid (ESG), which is a NCAR-hosted infrastructure for the distribution and access of climate models, data, and software. Building connections between repositories increases public access to geosciences information and data by increasing the visibility of data and information across previously unconnected systems, thereby increasing discoverability, and by increasing the utility of data through explicitly linking data to important documentation. Theproject outcomes will be shared and explored with the relevant stakeholders communities through a workshop, and with the communities brought together through EarthCube, namely, the geosciences, informatics experts, scientific publishers, and data repositories.
