1 Data Management in Interdisciplinary Research Projects: Case Studies CRC/TR 32 and CRC 806 Introduction Case Study CRC/TR32 Case Study CRC 806 Conclusion & Outlook Constanze Curdt, Christian Willmes, Georg Bareth GIS & RS Group,,, Germany funded by:

2 Nature 2009, Vol. 461/7261 Introduction Nelson (2009): time, we got the software up and running, and then we barriers to data sharing are concerns. When - - the choice of

3 Demands on Scientific Data Management for CRCs Amount of data planned project operation time: 3 Phases á 4 years in total: 12 years of reseach structure: 4/5 scientific + 1 central clusters central cluster (incl. sub-projects) in total: ~ 60 SP scientists: Postdoc, PhD, Bachelor/Master in total: ~ 25 Postdoc, ~ 60 PhD, ~ 120 Bachelor/Master Origin of data heterogeneous data in various spatial and temporal scales publications, reports, maps, images, photos Format and size of data discipline specific file formats few kilobytes to several gigabytes per file

4 Case Studies CRC/TR 32 and CRC 806 Data Management CRC/TR 32 (TR32DB, -Vegetation-Atmosphere-Systems: Monitoring, Modelling and Data Assimilation probably 2019) database operating since early 2008 database architecture approach: self-developed system focus on metadata management Data Management CRC 806 (CRC806-Database, -Environment Interaction and Human Mobility in the Late Quaternary 2009 probably 2021) database operating since mid 2012 database architecture approach: integration of open-source tools focus on data integration

5 CRC/TR 32 - Patterns in SVA-Systems Interdisciplinary research project Universities of Aachen, Bonn, Cologne, Research Centre Jülich Several research areas: geophysics, soil and plant science, hydrology, GIS, remote sensing, meteorology, mathematics Research goal: research on exchange processes between the soil, vegetation, and atmosphere (SVA) development of improved numerical models for the prediction of water, CO 2, and energy transfers Project area: catchment Rur (2,365km²)

6 CRC/TR 32 - Data Leaf measurement Temperature, Dew Point, Pressure, Wind, CO, CO 2, H 2 O State Wind of temperature the atmosphere radar Atmospheric Hyperspectral Plant probe CO 2 -fluxes from the soil Eddy CO 2 -fluxes Laboratory Gas exchange of plants (CRC/TR )

7 CRC/TR32 Data Management Structure (TR32DB) Curdt et al., 2012

8 CRC/TR 32 Metadata Framework Metadata quantity depends on data type Development according to: project participants needs data type demands recent metadata standards multi-level approach: general properties (Dublin Core) CRC/TR32 specific properties data type specific properties (e.g. ISO, INSPIRE) Curdt et al., 2012

9 TR32DB web-interface (metadata input)

10 TR32DB web-interface (data search)

11 CRC Our Way to Europe Collaborative research project: Universities of Aachen, Bonn, Cologne Interdisciplinary research: archaeology, geosciences, cultural sciences Research goal: culture-environment interaction and human mobility in the late quaternary history of anatomically modern human settlement in central Europe Project area: Trajectories East: Sinai, Levantine, Asia minor, Balkan West: North Africa, Iberia Sink (central Europe)

12 CRC Data Bibliographic Data Archaeological Excavations 3D Geodata Laboratory Analysis Archaeological Artefacts Drill Core Data Palaeoenvironment Palaeoanthropology Source: Introduction ² Study CRC/TR32 ² Study CRC806 ² Conclusion & Outlook CNI Fall Meeting 2012 ± Washington DC, USA ± 11 December 2012

13 CRC806-Database Architecture

14 CRC806-Database: User Interface (data upload) basic required metadata: title description project affiliation license upload files and/or link resources define data access constraints geographic metadata additional/optional: key = value tags authors

15 CRC806-Database: User Interface (data access) Data Catalog: browsing filter search, tags geospatial WebGIS SDI CKAN API RDF + SPARQL

16 Data integration: facilitating research support for palaeoanthropological and environmental models Domains: palaeoanthropology palaeoenvironment geoarchology CRC806-Database: Data Integration Repositories: NOAA WDC Paleo NESPOS PMIP European Pollen DB... more Willmes et al., 2012

17 Conclusion Implementation of two running systems two different approaches for solving the same problem systems are developed in close cooperation with RRZK provision/administration of infrastructure sustainable, secure storage and backup hosting and maintenance of systems after end of project Development according to demands and needs of research partners recent IT developments and standards requirements of DFG

18 Outlook Technological progress: adaptation of dynamic IT development on-going system enhancement integration of additional data Social aspects: more user training and support awareness for benefits of data management Source: Nature 2009
