Collaborative Research: SI2-SSI: SciDaaS - Data Management as a Service

SciDaaS项目将为NSF社区开发和运营一套创新的研究数据管理服务。这些服务可在www.globusonline.org上访问，将允许研究实验室外包一系列耗时的研究数据管理功能，包括存储和移动、出版和元数据管理。SciDaaS的研究将调查NSF研究人员最需要的服务；如何最好地将这些服务与不同的研究实验室环境相结合；以及这些服务在实践中如何在不同的研究团体中使用。SciDaaS将大大降低单个研究人员获取和操作复杂科学数据管理能力的成本。在这样做的过程中，它有可能极大地扩大先进信息技术在NSF研究中的应用，从而加速许多科学和工程领域的发现。通过为科研人员提供一个以增量成本公开共享数据的平台，SciDaaS还将减少科研人员之间自由交流的障碍，促进科学民主化。

The SciDaaS project will develop and operate a suite of innovative research data management services for the NSF community. These services, to be accessible at www.globusonline.org, will allow research laboratories to outsource a range of time-consuming research data management functions, including storage and movement, publication, and metadata management. SciDaaS research will investigate what services are most needed by NSF researchers; how best to present these services to integrate with diverse research laboratory environments; and how these services are used in practice across different research communities.SciDaaS will greatly reduce the cost to the individual researcher of acquiring and operating sophisticated scientific data management capabilities. In so doing, it has the potential to dramatically expand use of advanced information technology in NSF research and thus accelerate discovery across many fields of science and engineering. By providing a platform for researchers to publicly share data at an incremental cost, SciDaaS will also reduce barriers to free exchange among researchers and contribute to the democratization of science.
