| Repository Systems Rechenzentrum Garching, 25/26 June 2009 Directions ... Responsible for content: Michael Lautenschlager (MPI f. Meteorology), Malte Dreyer (MPDL), Peter Wittenburg (MPI Nijmegen) Repository SystemsThe second seminar is devoted to one of the big challenges for research institutes: how to guarantee persistence and continuous access to its records to all researchers. In addition to enabling data-driven research work and the duty to store the context of publications to allow replications, we have in many cases the ethical duty to preserve our valuable data for future generations.The core of state-of-the-art data management is a well-designed repository system, e.g. a software layer, that allows users to add resources into an organized and secure container, to find these resources, to refer to them in a unique way, to allow checking authenticity and to access and visualize them. This topic is not new as one can imagine, it was Friedrich Hertweck from RZG who created AMOS (Advanced multi user operating System) in the 70-ies. AMOS was an excellent piece of software which allowed scientists in plasmaphysics amongst others to store and retrieve their large data volumes. We want to address questions such as: what has changed, what are the challenges today, which models are being thought of and why, which software is being used etc. A recent self-assessment amongst service centres in the large European CLARIN project revealed that about 80% of the institutes are restructuring their repositories to support the requirements mentioned above. Yet we don’t know what the situation is in the institutes of the MPG, but we are sure that this eScience seminar will increase awareness and lead to improvements in data management.

Video feed We will feed the talks via a H.323 video-conferencing system. The corresponding E.164 MCU-Number is: 004910097918024. For some documentation about the system, please visit: https://www.vc.dfn.de/en/dokumentation/videoconferencing-mit-h323/zugangswege/h323.html. This is the first time we try something like this, so please bear with us. As usual you will be able to download the slides a couple of days after the seminar. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
