Dec 2020: Trustworthy Data Panel
The Trustworthy Data Working Group hosted a panel on Monday December 7th 2020 to discuss tools, standards, community practices for trustworthy scientific data sharing. Our panelists are:
Jim Basney: Deputy Director, Trusted CI
Sandra Gesing: Associate Research Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering; Computational Scientist, Center for Research Computing; University of Notre Dame (PresQT)
Bob Hanisch: Director of Office of Data & Informatics, NIST
Rebecca Koskela: Executive Director, Research Data Alliance - US (RDA-US)
The Trustworthy Data Working Group (TDWG) is a collaborative effort of Trusted CI, the four NSF Big Data Innovation Hubs, the NSF CI CoE Pilot, the Ostrom Workshop on Data Management and Information Governance, the NSF Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), the Indiana Geological and Water Survey, the Open Storage Network, and other interested community members. The goal of the working group is to understand scientific data security concerns and provide guidance on ensuring the trustworthiness of data.
This year the TDWG published a survey report about data security concerns and practices amongst the scientific community. And, building off the insights of the survey report, the working group published a guidance report on trustworthy data for science projects, including science gateways, that covers the topics that the panel will be discussing.
This panel is an opportunity to discuss the work of the TDWG in the larger context of related work by PresQT, NIST, and RDA-US.
