4 Site

Pacific Transect Collaborative

• The core predictive modeling component of 4Site is based on the platform envisaged by the IDEA Consortium:

​

• An open-science initiative in systems ecology

​

• Build use-oriented simulations (avatars) of entire social-ecological systems

​

• Model links and feedbacks between climate, environment, biodiversity, and human activities

​

• Provide social-ecological foresight to support local decision-making

​

OUR VISION

Develop the optimal data policies and technical infrastructure necessary to create an environment where all data and knowledge collected on the Tetiaroa field station is curated and made openly available as quickly as possible.

PROJECT GOALS

1. Test the effectiveness of optimized Research Data Management policies (incl. FAIR principles)

​

• Demonstrate the capabilities of networked machine-actionable Data Management Plans (maDMPs)

​

• Analyze the downstream effects of these policies on the resulting release of data in bounded, incubated, monitored working research environments �

FOCUS AREA: DATA POLICY

TL;DR: In return for the support and access to Tetiaroa provided by Tetiaroa Society, participants in research projects join the Tetiaroa IDEA - a collaborative project to build a digital simulation (avatar) of the atoll.

​

Participants in the Tetiaroa IDEA agree to make their metadata and [prepublication] data available to each other through a “Tetiaroa Data Trust” that facilitates data re-use according to mutually agreed terms and a code of conduct.

​

The Tetiaroa Data Trust follows FAIR+CARE data principles and is distributed across repositories that meet global standards in research data stewardship.

​

This policy does not impose legally-binding conditions nor replace or impinge on legal obligations that might apply elsewhere.

​

​

46k+ users with 43k+ data management plans at 268 participating institutions

Platform for DMP creation and guidance with the goal of creating a bridge for researchers to discuss research data with librarians

​

Existing NSF EAGER grant to create next-generation, machine-actionable DMPs
