Chris,



In this context, I am reminded of an IEEE telecon discussion Siri Jodha and I were part of a few days ago. Some of the questions under discussion were:

*         " Do funding agencies in the GRSS fields of interest require that data referenced in the results of a research paper be made publicly available? (An example is the 2011 NSF requirement that grantees must provide a two-page plan to describe how their data will be shared with other researchers.) If so, do researchers have adequate tools and services to meet requirements?

*                    How do GRS researchers typically use data in their workflow?

*                    How do researchers in your field typically collaborate, and how is data shared?

*                    Do they use any specific tools to create and manage the data?

*                    Are web scale data management resources (e.g., figshare, DataCite) commonly used in the GRS field?

*                    Is there a need in your field to enhance discovery of data sets?

*                    In the GRS field, how long must data typically be curated (e.g., life of the grant)?"



One of our colleagues pointed out that a number of researchers in IEEE GRSS come from a EE background and are interested in algorithm development of various kinds (pattern recognition, data fusion, etc.) and are interested in standard data sets. At this time there is a person Paul Gader (gader.paul at gmail.com<mailto:gader.paul at gmail.com>) who is on the faculty at U. of Florida who has been developing a database of standard datasets useful for people working on algorithms for deriving information from hyperspectral data. He has a "prototype" system that permits people to obtain standard datasets, run their algorithms, have their results evaluated, compare with others' results, upload their results, etc. Since this is a fairly narrow domain, there is some interested in the IEEE "corporate" publications office to explore broadening such a capability to other domains (that was a germ of an idea that came up during the telecon).  I also recall a couple of years ago, Jacqueline Lemoigne at Goddard was working on a project to pull together some "standard" datasets. In general, from a data systems' point of view, helping generation of specialized domain value added databases would be a "data scientist" user need. How to make that happen optimally for various domains would be a good discussion topic.

This is the "Data Scientist's Tale":  http://wiki.esipfed.org/images/6/65/DataScientistStory.pdf



Please take a look at it, especially you folks out there that are *actual* Data Scientists (albeit in a different area).



Peter Fox, Siri Jodha Singh Khalsa, Mark Parsons: this means you...
