Workshop: Developing standards and digital infrastructure for structural geology and experimental deformation

该研讨会将在2018年AGU秋季会议之前举行，并将邀请活跃在自然和实验变形和微观结构分析领域的研究人员，为制定数据政策和数据标准提供投入，以提高研究数据的可用性和访问。与会者将确定社区存储和发现科学成果的当前能力的差距，并确保标准在该领域和实验科学界保持一致。该研讨会将汇集来自不同科学领域和STEM代表性不足的群体的各种科学家。一位博士后将领导这次社区会议的组织工作。这个研讨会是为了实现地球立方计划的目标而举办的。此外，它将长尾科学界推向研究成果的公共获取。这项工作将包括对基础设施差距的分析，以整合来自两个相关（但目前基本上不同）社区的微观结构数据，这些社区研究自然变形的岩石和那些在实验室中进行实验以产生变形材料的社区。这项分析将侧重于了解每个社区目前可用的数据资源，每个社区在数据可用性/可扩展性方面存在的根本差距，以及现有的StraboSpot数据系统如何工作，以提供一种统一的数据存储和发现方法，从而有效地服务于两个社区。该研讨会为长尾科学界的网络基础设施投资增加了价值。讲习班将汇集不同的社区，就标准作出决定，以直接改善数据的可用性和访问。该项目与欧洲板块观测系统协调。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This workshop will occur prior to the 2018 AGU Fall meeting, and will engage researchers active in the fields of natural and experimental deformation and microstructural analysis to provide input on developing data policies and data standards to improve the availability and access of research data. Participants will identify gaps in current capabilities for the community to store and discover scientific results, and ensure that standards are aligned across the field and experimental scientific communities. The workshop will bring together a diverse range of scientists from different scientific fields and from under-represented groups in STEM. A postdoctoral fellow will lead the organization of this community meeting. This workshop is conducted to meet the goals of the EarthCube program. In addition it moves a long-tail scientific community towards Public Access of research outcomes. This work will incorporate an analysis of gaps in infrastructure for integrating microstructural data from two related (but currently largely disparate) communities, those studying naturally deformed rocks and those conducting experiments to produce deformed materials in the lab. This analysis will be focused on understanding what current data resources are currently available within each community, where the fundamental gaps are in terms data availability/discoverability in each community, and how the existing StraboSpot data system might work to provide a unified approach to data storage and discovery that can effectively serve both communities. The workshop adds value to an investment in cyberinfrastructure for a long-tail science community. The workshop will bring together a diverse community to make decisions on standards to directly improve data availability and access. The project coordinates with The European Plate Observatory System.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
