Site based data curation: Developing a data portal for geobiologists at yellowstone national park

Abstract

The Site-Based Data Curation (SBDC) project at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has developed a framework of policies and processes for the curation of research data generated at scientifically significant sites. In this poster, we report on the implementation of packaging methods for submission of geobiology data to repositories, templates for organizing data for better management, aggregation, and discovery, and the implementation of a prototype repository interface. The poster will be paired with a demonstration of the discovery interface for the repository.
