EAGER: Open XD Metrics on Demand Value Analytics

理解基于校园的网络基础设施（CI）对投资于此类CI的机构的价值本质上是困难的。鉴于当今的财政压力，为校园用户提供资源的校园CI中心的行政支持面临持续的预算压力。这在一定程度上是由于难以获得量化指标，以清楚地证明投资校园CI中心在加强科学研究方面的效用，以及在寻求研究资金方面增强竞争能力的财务方面。该提案旨在实现一组高度实验性的模块，这些模块将被添加到现有的CI指标工具eXtreme Data metrics on Demand （XDMoD）中。这些模块旨在提供一种评估校园CI投资的方法，从科学角度（以出版物衡量）和从财务角度（以使用CI的研究人员与不使用CI的研究人员的资助收入衡量）来衡量。这些模块暂定名为Open XDMoD Value Analytics，将呈现财务、协作和发布数据的视图，显示与CI使用相关的“投资回报率”指标。这项工作的目标是将这些模块一般化，使其能够处理各种资助和发布信息源，并将它们合并到open XDMoD的开源发行版中。

Understanding the value of campus-based cyberinfrastructure (CI) to the institutions that invest in such CI is intrinsically difficult. Given today's financial pressure, administrative support for campus-based CI centers offering resources to local campus users is under constant budgetary pressure. This is partly due to the difficulty in obtaining quantitative metrics that clearly demonstrate the utility of investment in campus CI centers in enhancing scientific research and the financial aspects of enhanced competitive ability in seeking funding for research. This proposal seeks to implement a set of highly experimental modules to be added to the existing CI metrics tool eXtreme Data Metrics on Demand (XDMoD). These modules are intended to provide a means for assessing campus-based CI investment in scientific terms, as measured in publications, and in financial terms, as measured in grant income from researchers who use CI as compared to those who do not. The modules, tentatively called Open XDMoD Value Analytics, will present a view of financial, collaboration, and publication data, showing "return-on-investment" metrics in relation to CI usage. The goal of the work is to generalize these modules to work with a variety of funding and publication information sources, and incorporate them into the open source distribution of Open XDMoD.
