[LTER-im] LTER IMC Information exchange (and shared google drive)

Mon Dec 16 14:10:57 PST 2019

Dear LTER IMs,
A recording of today's information exchange is available on the shared IM
google drive, here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0AABt1FqIzosUUk9PVA, under
LTER-IM-exchange and today's date. Everyone who has a google account
attached to their standard email has been given access to this set of
folders and you are welcome to use it for sharing materials. Please note
that, unlike standard google drives, when you move or delete something on a
shared google drive, it moves for everyone.

Note that there is also a folder for sharing materials related to upcoming
site reviews:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UWmQmHT3GF-RxfTWLizLsxe_AXMctWZt

This shared drive is not intended to be an archival repository. It's for
active work on current projects where the google drive format allows the
best balance of easy, controlled access. Once a document, report, or
project is completed, it should be moved to LTER GitHub (
https://github.com/lter), EDI (https://environmentaldatainitiative.org/#)
or the LTER Network website (
https://lternet.edu/?taxonomy=document-types&term=information-management),
depending on the most relevant audience or tool.

If I do not have an address with a linked google account for you, you'll
hear from me shortly.
Thanks,
Marty

>>>>> *December VWC - Dataset Attribution*
>>>>>
>>>>> Part 1:
>>>>> *Organizations in attribution *
>>>>> Driving questions: Should organizations appear in dataset citations?
>>>>> What rules should EDI follow for display of organizations?
>>>>>
>>>>> ESIP guidelines state that a particular group or small organization
>>>>> may sometimes be the author of a dataset.  EML best practices v3 state that
>>>>> the creator list should include the organization using <organizationName>,
>>>>> or the current principal investigator using <postitionName>.
>>>>>
>>>>> Using <organizationName> impacts how the citation is auto-generated on
>>>>> the LTER Data Portal:
>>>>>
>>>>> If the creator list only includes organizations, then the
>>>>> organizations show up in the citation.
>>>>>
>>>>> If the creator list includes an organization and a person, **only the
>>>>> person shows up in the citation**.
>>>>>
>>>>> Some LTER sites get around this by using <individualName> instead of
>>>>> <organizationName> for the organization, i.e., they treat their site as a
>>>>> person.
>>>>>
>>>>> If EDI changes their practice to include organizations in citations
>>>>> which also include individuals, then this will after a great many datasets
>>>>> in EDI. IMs may want to revise their EML if they had provided their
>>>>> organization as both organizations and individuals.
>>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> Part 2:* Attributing long-term datasets*
>>>>>
>>>>> Driving questions: Should the citation for a long-term dataset include
>>>>> the ever-growing list of PIs associated with the dataset, or just the
>>>>> organization name?  What about the potentially monstrous list of associated
>>>>> parties?  Who goes in that list? How could one supply information on when a
>>>>> given party was involved with the dataset (e.g., as a CSV table), and
>>>>> should that temporal information be in the metadata?
