[Esip-discovery] Proposed AGU session (deadline April 19)

[David Neufeld]

Chris,

Yes, I'd be very interested in co-convening a session on this topic.  Some
suggested modifications to consider (italics):

Alternate Pathways for Discovery of Earth Science Research Data

For research data to be of practical use in broader applications and
communities, it must be discover-able in a way that makes sense to those
communities.* Common commercial search engines treat datasets like
documents and web pages, commingling these resources in search results.
Users can find this commingled presentation of search results
counter-intuitive and confusing.*  However, there is more than one way to
guide a prospective data user who is looking to reuse research data.  For
example, discovery pathways may also begin from the perspective of the
physical phenomena in question; from science research articles describing
or using the data; from narratives in which the data feature; or from data
visualizations.  This session will look at the variety of entry points for
finding research data.
