Project Plan:
Preliminary research will establish infrastructure for the automation process including programming platform, initial browsing technology, demo-site, development libraries and tools that will be used to implement the prototype.
Overall, this plan focuses on :
Week 1 (Jun 6th - Jun 10th )
Project Activities: Focus on selecting data and RDF structure for DataONE dataset repositories (KNB, Dryad, ORNL-DAAC)
Development opportunities for the intern: Identifying data knowledge contacts
Learning how to apply RDF to scientific data in the DataONE repositories
Expected Outcomes: List of initial set of datasets (at least 3 from each), vocabularies, and use-cases that will be included in the prototype
Complete?: No
Week 2 (Jun 13th - Jun 17th)
Project Activities: Focus on extracting data and generating RDF
Development opportunities for the intern: Understand how to extract from different scientific source repositories.
Understand the challenges in making scientific data browsable.
Expected Outcomes: Extracted data accessible in RDF and browsable via the web.
Complete?: No
Week 3 (Jun 20th - Jun 24th)
Project Activities: Evaluate research effort and data with DataONE community
Development opportunities for the intern: Learning how to integrate RDF datasets to common
authoritative sources.
Expected Outcomes: Identify next implementation steps for data reconciliation
Complete?: No
Week 4 (Jun 27th - Jul 1st)
Project Activities: Focus on reconciliation of data with authoritative sources
Development opportunities for the intern: Learning how to integrate RDF data with other/source data
Learning how to identify and choose valid/useful data sources
Expected Outcomes: Data linked to other sources of data
Complete?: No
Week 5 (Jul 4th - Jul 8th)
Project Activities: Focus on reconciliation of data with authoritative sources
