Data and Publication Discovery Brian Matthews, Information Management Group, STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory CLADDIER workshop, Chilworth, Southampton, UK 15th May 2007 Microsoft’s Science 2020 Report Modern scientific communication relies on both journals and databases. At present these are not integrated. By 2020 mutual linking will be commonplace and publications just containing peer-reviewed data will become available. /towards2020science/downloads.htm The Use Case Joanna, at the University of Southampton, has done some work on the biology of seawater off the coast of Cornwall. As part of her analysis she needs (from a number of locations): Publications and data describing prior or similar work. Oceanic profiles of salinity and temperature from the closest cruise in time and space, Meteorological data to accompany both her own sampling and the oceanic data, Remotely sensed ocean colour imagery (to add additional information on the biota). She will then publish a paper that cites the datasets, lodge the paper in her own institutional repository and also deposit her datasets in one or more appropriate data repositories (e.g. both the NOCS data archive, and the, BODC). The work Joanna has done is of interest in calibrating a global earth system model to compare simulations of oceanic CO2 production with the scenarios used in the model. Fred, at Reading University needs to be able to find Joanna’s paper and data either via citations or directly from publication repositories. Having found the paper, the data should be obtainable via the citation and the data archive. As part of his work he checks back through the other datasets used and cited as inputs to Joanna’s data, as before he uses Joanna’s data, he suspects Joanna’s work could be recalibrated by using better quality meteorological re-analyses. What does that need? Joanna’s own data acquisition Location and acquisition of prior publications and data Location and acquisition of remot
