The document lists several potential priorities for EarthCube including developing an emergent architecture, identifying and promoting success stories, providing guidelines for shared services, developing common end user training, benchmarking progress against scientific needs, creating a prototype to demonstrate connectivity and functionality, documenting scientific workflows, and coordinating projects. Additional options mentioned are scoping and articulating a vision, identifying collaborations, documenting use cases, engaging academia in education, improving data management plans and data discovery, establishing light governance led by scientists, tying different design efforts together, determining funding mechanisms, adopting standards, enabling participation from diverse fields, and engaging stakeholders.
A data visualization approach to peer identificationWilliam O'Shea
This paper aims to define a group of institutions based on IPEDS data for use in making comparisons in the CUPA salary benchmarking system. This group should have similar qualities in terms of financial and size characteristics, but should be large enough to provide sufficient coverage of the disciplines in the CUPA benchmarking system. A group of institutions was defined that were fairly similar on several measures of institutional size and financial circumstance. The final group defined through this process was also more reasonable in terms of Carnegie and regional representation than the overall CUPA population.

Presented at the Academic and Research Libraries Group (ARLG) London and South East Supporting Researchers Day, at CILIP HQ, 8 May 2013.
Support for research is rapidly becoming a joint focus for HEIs, many of whom invested mostly in support for teaching and learning. Researchers need more specific and complex support, and the role of academic librarians is evolving to fit that need.

The Canadian Linked Data Initiative: Charting a Path to a Linked Data FutureNASIG
As libraries prepare to shift away from MARC to a linked data framework, new convergences in the metadata production activities of our libraries' technical services units, special collections, and digital libraries are becoming possible. In September 2015, the Canadian Linked Data Initiative (CLDI) was formed to leverage the existing collaboration between the Technical Services departments of Canada’s top 5 research libraries and the Library and Archives of Canada. Working cooperatively, our objective is to provide a path to linked data readiness for our institutions and leadership for the adoption of linked data by libraries across Canada. To achieve this goal, partner libraries are working across departments and institutions to create new workflows and tools and adapt to a new conceptual understanding of descriptive metadata. This presentation is a preliminary report on the progress made in five key areas of interest: digital collections, education and training, MARC record enhancement, evaluation of linked data tools and vendor supplied metadata. Building on existing initiatives, the CLDI is investigating the potential of integrating linked data elements into digitized collections, as well as MARC-based bibliographic and authority records, with the aim of fostering new and interesting pathways for resource discovery. To strengthen and expand the professional knowledge of staff, partner institutions are collaborating in the production of educational and training materials related to linked data principles and practices. The evaluation and potential development of linked data tools is another area of concentration. Finally, with the goal of changing workflows upstream, the CLDI is working to engage publishers and vendors in the linked data conversation. In addition to reporting on the work undertaken in the first year of the project, this presentation will also cover lessons learned and outline some of the new opportunities gained from working on a collaborative project that spans across multiple boundaries.

AHM 2014: Revisting Governance Model, Preparing for Next Steps
1. Options for Priorities
• Develop an emergent architecture
• Identifying and promoting success stories from EarthCube (science
stories) – may be a 5-10 year process, Evaluation of the Stories
• Promulgating tangible outputs of the awards and collective activity
(funded award success)
• Guidelines for shared services and other forms of federation among
data providers
• Developing a common format and extensible e-learning curriculum
for end user training modules in all aspects of the
cyberinfrastructure
• Benchmark CI progress against meeting scientific end-user needs
• Develop a prototype demonstrating connectivity and functionality
• Test bed for EarthCube widgets
• Documenting scientific workflow
• EarthCube Data Management Plans
• Coordination and alignment among EarthCube projects
2. Additional Options
• Scope & Articulation of Vision – what is within and outside the scope of
EarthCube (reference to Leadership Council)
• Identifying collaborations, interagency and international (outside of NSF)
• Identifying and documenting use cases and empirical data to pull together what
exists already
• Academia – education and where this starts
• Including in the EC Data Management Plan – roadmap for engagement with NSF
to improve the enforcement of data management plans
• Improve data discovery (leverage existing resources)
• Governance needs to be in place and be light/flexible, scientist lead rather than
CI
• Tie BB and other design efforts together
• What are the funding mechanisms for products within EarthCube (beyond
Working Groups)
• Adoption of Standards or Recommendations for Standards (e.g. Data Fair Port?
From biomedical community)
• Find a mechanism for “long-tail science” to participate
• Engaging the EC Stakeholders (& Listen)
