[Esip-sustainabledm] Sustainable Data Management - Cluster highlights, for ESIP

[Margaret O'Brien]

Hi all -

In prep for the upcoming summer meeting, ESIP has asked that we provide 
3 highlights of our activities this year for their 
state-of-the-federation report. Here is what I have drafted for the cluster:

1. Formed the cluster in January 2016 to investigate and promote 
pathways for sustainable, increased collaboration and coordination among 
repositories and data practitioners

2. Focused first efforts on the repositories themselves, to understand 
the return on investment (ROI), the landscape of services offered, and 
to develop a common technical vision.

3. First steps for ROI and landscape analysis are focused on examining 
available resources such as reports on business models and cost recovery 
options for repositories, and registries of repositories and their 
services (e.g. re3data, COPDESS, RDA, CDF).

Also, they have asked for an info-graphic if we have one -- Shelley 
Stall has offered one of her (and Erin's) bubble graphs showing roles 
and interactions.

Does that sound OK? We can have more detail on the poster, and during 
the sessions of course.

Margaret
