Preface

• Some prep work is already underway (if you scour the Open Science Codefest site you will find some) to prepare some datasets of relevance to the Polar community. We will provide some of this prepared data to interested parties ahead of the workshop in the next few weeks in case folks want to start hacking early. We will tweet under the hash tag: #nsfpolardatavis

Overview• Build the knowledge base (in MindTouch) and spreadsheet (in Excel) first,

which then makes the Spotfire (data browser) application easier to “storify” the results.

• Follow the Cross-Industry Data Mining Standard by:– 1 Business Understanding (of the Hackathon),– 2 Data Understanding (by mining the Sessions),– 3 Data Preparation (by screen scraping and downloading),– 4 Modeling (enough data for statistical significance?),– 5 Evaluation (How collected?, Where stored?, What results?, and Believe them?;

and– 6 Deployment (Story and Demo).

• The documentation will be in the form of the Data Science Publication for NSF Polar Cyberinfrastructure.

• My goal is to see if I can integrate and federate these multiple data sources.

Data Access Tutorial 2014 OCB PI Summer Workshop

• How to Submit Data• Data access: TEXT-BASED SEARCH scenario 1:

– You have a general idea of what you are looking for.• Data access: MAP BROWSE scenario 2:

– You are interested in data from a particular geographic region.• Data access: MAP KEYWORD SEARCH scenario 3:

– You are interested in data of a particular type from a particular geographic area.• Data access: MAP SEMANTIC SEARCH scenario 4:

– You have an idea what you are looking for, but you do not know the Program, Project, or Deployment name.

• Glossary of Terms• Acknowledgments• Follow BCO-DMO
