Roald Hoffmann's group's need to fulfill NSF's data management requirements.

 
Table of contents:

Evolving plan

Establish a case study, which combines functional service provisioning, as well as a pilot to identify generalizable solutions others can use. "Pilot plus service delivery."

3/22/14: Met with Roald, Andreas, Leah (Library) and Paul (CIT). Current plan:

Once Roald has grant funds:

1) EZ-Backup on all researchers' computers.

2) When first exit, confer with CIT (Paul) to move last snap-shot of researcher's computer to Node under Roald's EZ-Backup account. Compare this cost and risks associated with buying a hard drive to hang off of Roald's computer.

  • //Very// tentative: CIT's finance folks will consider pricing this under a one-time fee instead of paying monthly for this non-changing data.

Potential partners

Hoffmann's research group

P.I. Roald Hoffmann

Andreas Hermann <ah736> (here through May 2013)

  • Subject-matter expertise
  • Capability to confirm or reject proposed solutions and tests
  • Ultimate determiner of success

Library

Document best practices

Centralized stewardship and maintenance of best practices. Insuring institutional memory for decisions and process.

  • This reduces rework/ rediscovery by others, increases efficiencies, and enables improvements.

Document decision points and workflow options and considerations

  • Assist with data identification, organization, tracking, etc.
  • Likely very discipline-specific. In this case, focus on Hoffmann's chemistry research data, and look for generalizable recommendations
  • Process optimization.

Identify local and non-local resources

  • Applied wisdom in the realm of archiving and preservation.

CIT

Providers and experts of the technical components likely used.

CRCF

Initiating partner conversations and facilitating progress as appropriate.

Ideas

Use CIT's EZ-Backup service

Use CIT's SFS service

More work needed to determine if there might be a possible "fit".
