Kerstin Lehnert: New Science Communities for Cyberinfrastructure - The Example of Geochemistry
New Communities for CI
“At the heart of the cyberinfrastructure vision is the
development of a cultural community that supports
peer-to-peer collaboration and new modes of education
based upon broad and open access to leadership
computing; data and information resources; online
instruments and observatories; and visualization and
collaboration services.”
Dr. Arden L. Bement, Jr.
Director of the US National Science Foundation
Kerstin Lehnert: New Science Communities for Cyberinfrastructure - The Example of Geochemistry
Science Community & Culture
“A community is a collection of persons
sharing common values, shared goals,
and similar practices.”
 Scientific Approaches & Methods
 Quality of Work & Evaluation
 Recognition of Achievements
 Publication/Sharing Culture
Understanding the Cultural & Social Challenges
 Social & cultural standards such as
norms of practice, shared terms &
concepts play as much a key role in
linking systems as do technical
solutions.
 The most significant problems that
impede infrastructure development
(‘Reverse Salients’) are not technical,
but legal, political, social, or cultural.
 Emerging infrastructures can be the site
of intense conflict.
 The path to infrastructure development
is slow - decades, not months or years.
“Robust cyberinfrastructure
will develop only when
social, organizational, and
cultural issues are resolved in
tandem with the creation of
technology-based services.”
“Robust cyberinfrastructure

social, organizational, and

Infrastructure: Lessons for the

Impact of Databases
 have revolutionized access to data in igneous
petrology.
 have changed the way science is done in igneous
petrology.
 have fundamentally contributed to new science.
 have been embraced by the community.
 triggered a culture change in geochemistry.
Kerstin Lehnert: New Science Communities for Cyberinfrastructure - The Example of Geochemistry
Recognition
“More than just a timesaver, these databases make it possible to
address both global and regional questions that I would
otherwise never bother to attempt.
The amount of time saved is such that countless ideas cross from
the realm of the totally impractical for a busy working scientist
into the realm of easy to squeeze into a spare half hour.
Simply put, I can now test theoretical ideas against all the
world's data, and can readily compare any specific region I am
working on to its global counterparts. This is a monumental
benefit.”
User feedback about the PetDB database, 2005
Kerstin Lehnert: New Science Communities for Cyberinfrastructure - The Example of Geochemistry
Community Acceptance
 Hundreds of citations in the literature
 Thousands of unique users per month
Kerstin Lehnert: New Science Communities for Cyberinfrastructure - The Example of Geochemistry
Culture Change
 Community recognized the value of proper data
management.
 Community became aware of requirements for
proper data curation, e.g. metadata.
 Community has engaged in development of
standards and best practices.
 Community has started to develop and
implement new policies for data sharing.
Kerstin Lehnert: New Science Communities for Cyberinfrastructure - The Example of Geochemistry
Ingredients for Success
 Systems provided substantial benefits for
researchers.
- Capabilities that did not exist before.
- Capabilities that the individual cannot achieve.
 Systems did initially not rely on contributions
from the community.
 Community liaison.
 User friendliness.

Support from Professional Societies
 Databases housing geochemical information should be available to
the community at large. (open access)
 The metadata are as important as the data.
 Published data and metadata should be available in electronic
format.
 After final acceptance of a manuscript for publication, any new data
that it contains should be submitted for entry into an established
database, if an appropriate database exists.

Kerstin Lehnert: New Science Communities for Cyberinfrastructure - The Example of Geochemistry
Support from Editors & Publishers
 Joint policy approved! (2009)
- Complete data publication:
Authors need to present all data
used in a publication (“if it is plotted
it should be tabulated”).
- Annotation: Authors need to
provide essential metadata
• Analytical procedure & data quality
• Sample locations
• Unique sample identifiers
• Nature
• Science
• Earth & Planet Sci Lett
• Chemical Geology
• G-Cubed
• Journal of Petrology
• Geochim Cosmoc Acta
• Geology
• Contr Miner Petrology
• Elsevier
• GSA Publications
• Springer
 Editors Roundtable: Editors, Publishers, Databases
 Goal: Implement Best Practices for Data ReportingBest Practices for Data Reporting
Goal: “Connect Earth Science publishers and Data Facilities to
help translate the aspirations of open, available, and useful data
from policy into practice.”
15
COPDESS (2014)
EarthCube RCNs
 Address specific problems that will advance CI
from within the science community
- Need the domain science champions!
 Integrate with relevant scientific communities
and facilities.
- Science programs, data facilities, sample repositories,
analytical labs, etc.
 Provide incentives to participate
 Create new resources as demanded by
researchers.

Kerstin Lehnert: New Science Communities for Cyberinfrastructure - The Example of Geochemistry New Communities for CI “At the heart of the cyberinfrastructure vision is the development of a cultural community that supports peer-to-peer collaboration and new modes of education based upon broad and open access to leadership computing; data and information resources; online instruments and observatories; and visualization and collaboration services.” Dr. Arden L. Bement, Jr. Director of the US National Science Foundation

Kerstin Lehnert: New Science Communities for Cyberinfrastructure - The Example of Geochemistry Science Community & Culture “A community is a collection of persons sharing common values, shared goals, and similar practices.”  Scientific Approaches & Methods  Quality of Work & Evaluation  Recognition of Achievements  Publication/Sharing Culture
  • 4. Understanding the Cultural & Social Challenges  Social & cultural standards such as norms of practice, shared terms & concepts play as much a key role in linking systems as do technical solutions.  The most significant problems that impede infrastructure development (‘Reverse Salients’) are not technical, but legal, political, social, or cultural.  Emerging infrastructures can be the site of intense conflict.  The path to infrastructure development is slow - decades, not months or years. “Robust cyberinfrastructure will develop only when social, organizational, and cultural issues are resolved in tandem with the creation of technology-based services.” “Robust cyberinfrastructure will develop only when social, organizational, and cultural issues are resolved in tandem with the creation of technology-based services.” ”History & Theory of Infrastructure: Lessons for the New Scientific Cyberinfrastructures” (P.

  • 7. Kerstin Lehnert: New Science Communities for Cyberinfrastructure - The Example of Geochemistry Recognition “More than just a timesaver, these databases make it possible to address both global and regional questions that I would otherwise never bother to attempt. The amount of time saved is such that countless ideas cross from the realm of the totally impractical for a busy working scientist into the realm of easy to squeeze into a spare half hour. Simply put, I can now test theoretical ideas against all the world's data, and can readily compare any specific region I am working on to its global counterparts. This is a monumental benefit.” User feedback about the PetDB database, 2005

  • 9. Kerstin Lehnert: New Science Communities for Cyberinfrastructure - The Example of Geochemistry Culture Change  Community recognized the value of proper data management.  Community became aware of requirements for proper data curation, e.g. metadata.  Community has engaged in development of standards and best practices.  Community has started to develop and implement new policies for data sharing.

  2. What makes a science community? Communities are understood as groups of individuals who share characteristics. In science, these characteristics relate to the scientific work, how it is performed, how its quality is ensured and evaluated. A fundamental aspect of a science culture is the publication and sharing of data and knowledge. This aspect is closely linked to the credit the individual scientist receives for his/her work. Most these community characteristics are impacted by the advance of the new cyberinfrastructure. Scientific approaches and methods change with the broaden
