1. U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Decision Support Tools and USGS Data Management Best Practices Cassandra Ladino USGS Chesapeake Bay Workshop - 05/13/14

2. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Synthesize and provide science to support ecosystem management  Objectives: Provide and Manage Information  CBP/EO Goals: Commitment to share and increase access to scientific results and information.  USGS Mission Areas: Ecosystems, Water, Core Science Systems: Analytics, Synthesis, and Libraries (Community for Data Integration)

3. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Overview  Decision Support Tools  Data Management Activities 1) Data Management Workflows 2) Data Integration 3) Data Access  Science Impacts  Information for Scientists

4. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Decision Support Tools  Nontidal Network water quality trends and results website and interactive map  Chesapeake LandScope website - protected lands reporting tool  *New* Custom web page interface to USGS Chesapeake Bay data on ScienceBase

5. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Nontidal Network Website

6. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Chesapeake LandScope 3 Protected Lands Reports: Ownership Land Cover Type Unprotected vs. Protected

7. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov USGS Chesapeake Bay Website – Data Portal

8. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Data Management Activities  Providing solutions for 3 things: Data Management (DM) Workflows Data Integration Data Access

9. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Lots of Science Workflow Models!

10. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Data Management Workflows  Develop a Data Management Plan framework (DMPf) for all science themes.  Develop specific DMP’s for fish health and water quality contaminants field samples and scientific results.  Increase usage of the USGS Chesapeake Bay Studies data community on ScienceBase.

11. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Data Stages in a DM Workflow Terminal Endpoint Options Customize data flow model by choosing inputs, outputs, and storage locations appropriate for each project. Disposition Schedules * CSAS Web Release Workflow + science Data Catalog Raw Data Stage Base Data Stage Project/ Derived Data Products

12. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Data Stages in a DM Workflow * CSAS Web Release Workflow + science Data Catalog Raw Data Stage Base Data Stage Project/ Derived Data Products As data move through these stages, how are we: Creating meta information Managing quality Protecting that resource Providing access to that resource

13. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Data Integration  Develop a relational database on the EGSC’s Research and Development Computing Cluster (RDCC) Integrate fish health and contaminants information. Increased exploration and analytical capability of science data. Protect and centralize data for long term storage.

14. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Data Access  Expand and maintain existing data store on ScienceBase.  Develop custom web page interface using ScienceBase API.  Make data ready for “public release” available on Science Data Catalog.

15. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov ScienceBase  3 Purposes: Archiving/ Sharing Data DM Workflows (Data Stages) Web Service Endpoints for Datasets

16. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Science Data Catalog  1 Purpose: Published Data Search

17. http://usgs.gov http://egsc.usgs.gov Science Impacts  Increase “Efficiency and Effectiveness” of science information.  Building data infrastructures upon which new science can grow.  Internal project teams, partners, and the public will have improved access to data and science results through data catalogs and web applications.  Chesapeake Bay project teams will be early adopters in the agencies push to implement Data Management best practices.  New analysis of fish health and contaminants data will be possible and will further discovery of scientific results.
