Politics

A space for thoughts about software/systems roadmaps, organizational policies and paths forward, and the like.

Random Notes

I took the notes below on the first day. Just pasting them in.

Data

• All the facilities in Europe have come together to produce a very similar set of data policies for how they handle data/metadata.
• When the ESS schedules a proposal a DOI is minted and assigned to the proposed work.
• They will produce data management plans that go over all of the details of your experiment (software used, workflows/pipelines, file formats, etc)
• They are standardizing across HDF5 with NeXus.
• SciCat has support for Google (I have no idea what I meant here)… google auth?
• https://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/funding/funding-opportunities/funding-programmes-and-open-calls/horizon-europe_en
• They are planning on storing the geometry of the instrument in the HDF5/Nexus.
• https://dashboard.wholetale.org/

Proposals

• They are using ORCID
• Who is coming to ESS (types of proposals)?
  • Peer Reviewed
  • Quick
  • Discretionary
  • Proprietary
  • Alternative Access
• Ask for their slides
• “The User Journey” is great.
• They are collaborating with ISIS and CLF
• The list of Proposal do’s and don’ts is great. Should pass it by Valerie

Questions

• PaNOSC & Horizon 2020
  • What’s Horizon?
    • Is it behind the standardization in data policy that you mention?
  • Who all is involved in PaNOSC?
• Are you aware of DMPTool?
• You mentioned that most facilities have data catalogues. You are using SciCat. Do you know what other catalogs are used in that space?
• What do you know about https://wholetale.org/ ?
