Clear selection

How would you best classify the reproducibility of your data?

Stable: derives from simulations, reductions of other data, or measurements of time-invariant phenomena (ex: raw output from an HPC climate model)

Ephemeral: cannot be reproduced or reconstructed (ex: temperature gauge readings or other observational phenomena)

Costly: stable but costly to generate (ex: digital images of plant specimens that would require a large amount of time to re-image)

Clear selection

What is the approximate size of the collection (GB)?

What is the growth rate of the collection (GB per year)?

Is the collection currently open access, and if not, are there any type of restrictions to sharing the data?

Yes, it is currently open access

No, but I can share the data

No, national security restrictions

No, sensitive information restrictions (privacy, salary, grades, medical diagnosis)

No, commercial restrictions (agreements, competitive intelligence, patents)
