<p>Hi Andrea,</p>
<p>EarthChem has in recent years migrated its synthesis databases
(PetDB, SedDB) to a new architecture and data model. Happy to talk
to you about it.</p>

<div>Hi data stewards,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For those that don't know me, I'm Andrea Thomer -- I'm a
professor at the University of Michigan School of Information,
and I conduct research on data curation and scientific data
practices. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm currently working on a project studying database and
data collection migration. I'm hoping to identify common
patterns, processes, and roadblocks to this work, and to start
working toward best practices to support database and platform
migration. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So far I've done some deep dives into database migration in
<a
href="https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/pra2.2018.14505501055"
moz-do-not-send="true">natural history museums</a> and
archives -- but I'd really like to talk to some folks doing
this work in the earth science community. So if you a) work
with earth science data or sample collections, b) have
experience planning for or navigating database migration, and
c) are willing to talk to me about this experience please let
me know! I'm happy to answer any questions about what
participation in this project would entail off-list.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,<br>
