TRANSCRIPT
Unidata’s Data Management Resource Center
2015 ESIP Summer Meeting July 14, 2015
Do we really need another Data Plan?
• Probably not
• The DMRC is not a Data Plan tool
• Unidata community requested help with implementation
• Therefore, the DMRC is primarily a curated list of tools for implementation
The DMRC
What the DMRC Offers
• Highlights requirements from funding agencies;
• Points to Best Practices developed by others in the Data Management space;
• Sorts available tools by best practice;
• Details available tools.
Requirements
• Highlight data management funding requirements from NASA, NOAA, NSF
• These are the agencies that fund our community so we try to stay up to date, but remember the agency posted information is always the authority

What We Are Exploring
• Dataverse by Harvard • Designed for sharing, archiving,
and citing data• Allows you to create a DOI• Allows you to store and make
data accessible in perpetuity
What We Are Exploring
Known Dataverse Characteristics:• Largest single file limited to 10GB• No limit to number of files• Users create their own Dataverse• Designate private or public• Open to data from all science disciplines• Does not corrupt at least some software
files (e.g. IDV bundles)• FREE
What We Are Exploring
Possible Dataverse Contributions:• Description (providing DOIs)• Sharing (access for perpetuity) • Preservation (static copy for
perpetuity)• Cost (free) very suitable for
projects that might otherwise become long-tail data
