Hang out with friendly astronomers from across the New York City tristate area (we’ve invited folks from Yale to Rutgers ), learn about new technologies in astronomy software, collaborate on new software or strike out on new science reusing existing tools and websites. See the .Astronomy NYC 2012 webpage for details and archive.
The Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in collaboration with Harvard Library (HL) and the Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) is offering new hands-on training sessions on the use of Harvard's Dataverse Network, an open-source application for publishing, citing and discovering research data. (http://theastrodata.org, http://thedata.org).
The Seamless Astronomy team at the CfA invites you to an "Introduction to the Astronomy Dataverse" next Monday, April 2, 2012 at 11:45am in Phillips Auditorium.
A "Dataverse" is a web based platform for publishing, citing and preserving your data; it gives you control for what data you release when and it renders your data discoverable to other search tools and thus reusable by other astronomers. Perhaps most critically,...
Abstract: The Virtual Observatory (VO) is realizing global electronic integration of astronomy data, tools, and services for use by individuals around the world. This new environment of interoperability will facilitate astronomy research with a speed, efficiency, and...
The goal of the Data Citation Principles workshop is to facilitate collaboration among leaders in publishing, data archiving and data citation research and to articulate common answers to core questions such as: Should data that is used to support published research results be cited in peer-reviewed articles presenting those results? Should each citation include sufficient information to allow a unique dataset to be identified over time? Should citations to data appear in a consistent place within publication? Should citations to data be indexable so that they can be used for linkage...
