[Esip-preserve] AGU sessions

[Wilson, Bruce E.]

The intent was to include identification. There was a telecon (tech infusion, I think) where the issue was raised that identification was perhaps too narrow a topic and that it should be included in a broader subject.  At least that was my interpretation.  So, I've broadened the description and information to reflect identification, as distinct from citation (related, but not identical issues).

At the last preservation cluster telecon we discussed submitting a preservation related session to this fall's AGU meeting; but did not settle on a topic.  I note that Bruce Wilson is submitting the session below, which I think mostly covers the suite of topics we discussed, though it leaves out mention of identifiers...  Does anyone think that another session should be submitted (or is anyone else working on a session proposal)?  If so, please let the group know.  Session proposals are due tomorrow...

Description:  (800 word limit -- lots of room left)

A number of events and publications have highlighted the need for a high degree of transparency and best practices in the publication, management, provenance tracking, traceability and citability of science data generally and Earth Science data in particular.  Further, there have been a number of recent and exciting developments  for handling the provenance of synthesis data sets and improving the ways that data can be cited.  These tools and approaches both increase the transparency of scientific work and improve the analysis of the impact of data sharing.
