EAGER: Open XD Metrics on Demand Value Analytics

了解基于校园的网络基础设施（CI）的价值，投资于这样的CI机构本质上是困难的。 考虑到今天的财政压力，为当地校园用户提供资源的校园CI中心的行政支持处于持续的预算压力之下。 这在一定程度上是由于难以获得定量指标，清楚地表明在校园CI中心投资的效用，以加强科学研究和提高竞争力的财务方面，在寻求资金的研究。 该提案旨在实现一组高度实验性的模块，以添加到现有的CI指标工具eXtreme Data随需应变（XDMoD）中。 这些模块的目的是提供一种手段，用于评估校园为基础的CI投资在科学方面，在出版物中衡量，并在财务方面，从研究人员谁使用CI相比，那些谁不赠款收入衡量。 这些模块暂称为Open XDMoD Value Analytics，将提供财务、协作和出版数据的视图，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推广到各种资金和出版信息源，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.
