This document discusses the Deep Carbon Observatory Data Science (DCO-DS) project. DCO-DS aims to provide semantic metadata and enable discovery of research from the Deep Carbon Observatory, a project studying carbon in the deep Earth. It involves integrating Drupal, CKAN, and VIVO to provide a community portal, data registration and storage, and a hub for discovering information about researchers, data, and publications. A key goal is assigning unique digital IDs to all people, organizations, datasets, and research products to enable linking and discovery across the systems. The document outlines the architecture and discusses future work around authentication, scaling, and integrating the different components.
