Discussion Items:
Aug. 8 NSF DataWay Webinar: NSF Math and Physical Sciences (MPS) division has turned up a website (http://www.nsf.gov/mps/dataway/dataway.jsp) where they are posting information about the DataWay Initiative. NSF held a second NSF DataWay webinar on August 8. PowerPoint slides from that webinar are available on the DataWay website. The webinar announced a DataWay Charrette (planning meeting) in Nov/Dec of this year and suggested that whitepapers would be welcome from the community to help set the agenda for the Charrette. We will discuss whitepaper topics as part of our Aug. 23 Atlanta meeting. Suggested whitepaper topics included: identification of user requirements, technical solutions for capturing, sharing and curating research data, and governance and community building.
