Best Practices for Sharing and Reusing Climate Change Data
Finding a safe home for climate change data doesn’t guarantee per se that scientists, journalists, and climate change advocates will be able to reuse these datasets in the future. This workshop focused on investigating those practices that are needed to ensure that the scientific value of the datasets will be long-term preserved with the data themselves. The FAIR principles (http://www.nature.com/articles/sdata201618) for data and software curation guided our analysis. “FAIR” data are data that are released in ways to be findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable by the whole scientific community.
We compiled a list of vocabularies that can be useful for data archivist to manage and store datasets appropriately. In particular, when climate change datasets are downloaded and manually added to #datarefuge or the Internet Archive repositories, these vocabularies can be used as a basis to built metadata schemas to organize and tag the datasets. In this way, researchers will be able to efficiently explore and retrieve these resources in the future.
