DataONE: Data Observation Network for Earth — Preserving Data and Enabling Innovation in the Biological and Environmental Sciences

Ecoinformatics: supporting ecology as a data-intensive science

“…It is a federated network providing infrastructure and services for environmental science, enabling new science and knowledge creation through anytime, anywhere access to data about life on Earth and the environment that sustains it [39]. DataONE comprises three principal components.…”

“…The second challenge is being addressed through projects such as DataONE. These projects support sophisticated, userfriendly search tools that enable scientists to search by time and space and also drill down further using faceted search techniques that allow one to filter the results by parameter, sensor employed, author and other properties of the data, as well as data-subsetting tools for extracting only those data that scientists desire [39]. In addition, the use of controlled vocabularies and community thesauri are useful for assigning key words to data products and can facilitate discovery of desired data [40].…”

CED²AR: The Comprehensive Extensible Data Documentation and Access Repository

“…Other examples of this wellknow digital library paradigm include DataONE [29], NSDL [22], OAIster [13], and Public Library of America [36]. In this section we describe three aspects of the social science data context that distinguish CED 2 AR from other similar applications.…”

“…The surge in importance of open data for scholarship is reflected in the number of highly-funded initiatives across a broad spectrum of domains. These include the DataONE [29], SEAD [37], and Data Conservancy [27] projects funded through the NSF DataNet program; the emergence of a number of national-level initiatives such as the Australian National Data Service [41]; the proliferation of general-purpose data repositories such as Dryad [11] and figshare [14]; and a host of domainspecific data repositories [7]. In addition, government funding mandates such as NSF and NIH requirements for data management plans and policy-level calls for open sharing of data from federally-funded projects [35] add momentum to efforts to build facilities to make those data available.…”

A Digital Repository and Execution Platform for Interactive Scholarly Publications in Neuroscience

“…There are a number of general purpose on-line scientific archival environments: FigShare (Singh, 2011), DataONE (Michener et al, 2011) and emerging archiving facilities: DataCite (Brase, 2009), DataDryad (DataDryad, 2013. Scientific archival environments such as DataCite, DataDryad and FigShare aim to allow users to store data and metadata.…”
