THE LOCAL GOES GLOBAL: SOME EXAMPLES
Ann Zimmerman1075 Beal AvenueAnn Arbor, MI [email protected]
Implications
• Who is involved
• What count as data
• What gets shared
Ann Zimmerman1075 Beal AvenueAnn Arbor, MI [email protected]
Step 1: Scientist publishes a a paper in a journal.
Step 2: A data curator scans journals for data, extracts data and descriptive information, and enters
it all into a computer.
Step 3: Data are integrated with other data into one database and made available to anyone via the
Internet.
Step 4: Other people use the data. They provide input that results in additions of new types of data or
corrections to the database.
Step 1: Scientist publishes a a paper in a journal.
Step 2: Scientist submits the data associated with the paper to a repository as a requirement of
publication.
Step 3: Data are integrated with other data into one database and made available to anyone via the
Internet.
Step 4: Other people use the data. They provide input that results in additions of new types of data or
corrections to the database.
Step 1: Individuals get together to decide upon standard data
collection protocols.
Step 2: Every laboratory uses the agreed upon methods to collect data.
Step 3: Data are integrated and made available to anyone via the
Internet.
Step 4: Other people use the data. They provide input that influences how new data are collected or that
result in corrections to existing data.

Shared Needs
• Long term access to data
• Finding data later
• Understanding the context of the data to use it in a meaningful way
• Accessing data, and information about data, from multiple locations

Open Questions• What makes it hard to share data?
• How does the “state” of data affect sharing?
• What makes documentation sufficient for reuse?
