Collaborative Research: Workshop on Acquiring and Sharing Data Within the CMMI Research Community; Arlington, Virginia; December 7-8, 2016

已经发现，在多个学科中，对用于管理、存储和共享研究数据的强大和可靠的基础设施的需求日益增长。虽然不同研究社区的需求会有所不同，但土木工程、机械和制造业创新社区在数据基础设施方面将有许多共同的问题。该奖项支持一个研讨会，该研讨会将这些社区聚集在一起，以确定这些需求，学习其数据基础设施进一步先进的社区的成功，并计划在建立将研究数据开放共享给广泛的工程界所需的工具、资源和文化转变方面的前进道路。该奖项支持的研讨会将突出必须解决的关键问题，以实现大数据在国家科学基金会土木工程、机械和制造业创新部(CMMI)所代表的研究领域的全面影响和使用。该社区将召开会议，以(1)制定获取和共享大量数据的总体战略和短期研究议程；(2)推荐使大型数据集可供CMMI研究社区使用的方法和技术；(3)组建能够为CMMI研究社区开发原型平台的跨学科研究团队；以及(4)为NSF数据管理计划建议最佳实践。大约60名社区成员，包括初级和高级研究人员、数据科学家、图书馆科学家和科学出版界成员将聚集在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的NSF总部。

The ever increasing need for a robust and reliable infrastructure for the curation, storage and sharing of research data has been identified across multiple disciplines. While the needs of different research communities will vary, there are many issues which the Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation communities will have in common for data infrastructure. This award supports a workshop which brings these communities together to identify these needs, learn from the success of communities whose data infrastructures are further advanced, and plan for paths forward in establishing the tools, resources, and culture shifts needed to bring open sharing of research data to the broad engineering community.The workshop supported by this award will highlight the key issues that must be addressed to realize the full impact and use of big data on the research areas represented in the Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) at the National Science Foundation. The community will convene to (1) develop an overall strategy and short term research agenda for capturing and sharing large volumes of data (2) recommend methods and techniques for making large data sets available and usable by the CMMI research communities (3) forge interdisciplinary research teams that can develop prototype platforms for CMMI research communities and (4) suggest best practices for NSF data management plans. Approximately 60 members of the community, including both junior and senior researchers, data scientists, library scientists, and members of the scientific publishing community will convene in Arlington, VA at NSF Headquarters.
