Introductory sessions from the
2016 DOE Data ID Service Workshop
Parallel event held in the Panofsky Auditorium (B053)
The following sessions These introductory sessions are not part of the OSTI/SLAC Researchers Workshop but can help SLAC researchers to better understand the role of OSTI and the resources that they can provide for the researchers.
8:30 am: Introductions and Logistics
8:45 am: The DOE Data Explorer (What it is, What you can discover) – OSTI
9:15 am: The DOE Data ID Service (What it is, How it Works) - OSTI
9:45 am: Today’s Policy Environment for Scientific Data - TBD
1:00 pm: Data Roundtable - All willing workshop participants

This workshop will explore how lab-based scientists use scientific and technical information (STI), data, and supplemental material in the workflow of their research efforts. DOE’s Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) will describe their role and responsibilities in collecting, preserving, and disseminating STI, as well as specific OSTI tools and services. OSTI will seek to gain a better understanding of the STI and data needs of researchers for the purpose of making OSTI tools and services (and their STI content) more useful and integrated to meet those needs, while fulfilling DOE’s public access and dissemination mandates.
Access to DOE R&D Results for the Research Community –
...
10:30am PST, Trinity Conference Room (B053)
Group (15-25 participants) discussion with crosscutting attendance from the scientific disciplines at SLAC.
...
- How do you find most of your research articles and other research related information (ex. INSPIRE, arXiv.org, Web of Science, etc.)?
- What are the key features of these tools that create value for the community? What are typical search terms (key words, authors, titles, etc.)? Do you typically use advanced search options?
- What types of STI do you typically use in your workflow? Publications, technical reports, other researcher data, software developed outside of the group?
- Do you text and data mine in the course of your research?
- What is the current level of awareness of OSTI products? How could awareness be raised?
- OSTI aims to be the definitive resource for DOE R&D results. How can OSTI improve access to DOE R&D information to be more useful to the research communities?
- Given OSTI’s unique position of being the central clearinghouse for DOE publications, data, software and patents, what additional service could OSTI provide that would be of benefit to scientific discovery?
