IN13A-1550. Working to define data curated geospatial services on a Research Campus, a Purdue University Libraries Example Benjamin D. Branch; Nicole Kong; Michael Fosmire; Antti M. Rousi
American Geophysical Union, Fall Meeting December 9-13, 2013 San Francisco, California Abstract-As Data Curation is becoming a necessity of data science and library science, Purdue University Libraries has been a leader in data curation profiles research. Such research can be defined as a data stewardship protocol similar to a multiple use case analysis. In this this example, The Purdue University Libraries Geographical Information Systems (GIS) department has engaged in a data curation profiles assessment of the campus to baseline and qualify sustainable geospatial data services. Working to define data curated geospatial services on a Research Campus, a Purdue University Libraries Example • What do 32 interviews indicate about potential GIS and data curation services • Should we calculate the research potential of each interview for a business model consideration • What metrics beyond DCP would indicate a sustainable research trend
In our Data Curation Profile investigation we noticed that outreach was a critical knowledge dissemination point and had interesting data curation challenges where many researchers were trying to integrate and pass along broader impact considerations and knowledge dissemination. We have defined this as a natural academic data flow, that may exist at all research institutions' supporting STEM outcomes.
Educational Data curation Framework Here, the library can be a data supporter of various STEM or Earth Science disciplines and an work to work in collaboration with scientists to make their data accessible to broader impacts, outreach and full life cycle data curation.
Abstract continued… It is the intent that other libraries will consider this IRB approved approach of grounded theory to assessment the geospatial data service capacity and potential on a parametric scale. Provided is the status of such research and the some highlights or considerations in the establishment of sustainable geospatial data services that include a full data curated lifecycle. Noted here are some of the essential engagement endeavors of the research.
Geographical Information System (GIS) and geospatial library services represent major opportunities for data curation and services to universities, communities and society. As an emerging issue, geospatial literacy can be seen as a data science of the global citizen. This educational data curation framework (EDCF) may aid existing research knowledge transfer needs including, data dissemination, data curation, and advance geospatial literacy and data use by making such data services sustainable at university learning environments. Potential future collaborations
5 Step Management Program for Educational Data Curation Framework development 1) Prototype and implement a data curation profile in mix method approach for geospatial data collection 2) Development intricate interdisciplinary STEM collaboration with outreach entities on campus 3) Offer the campus geospatial engagement opportunities for grant development and collaborations with national agencies such as The GLOBE Program 4) Review campus for strategic plan for research and learning support and advocate the library as possible cost reducing factor in education business models towards STEM pipeline support with effective data curation engagement 5) Check with international partners to see if such is applicable in any global context.
• Data Curation Profiles research at Purdue may benefit Aalto University’s geospatial needs assessment. • Federated Data Curation Profile research may result. • Base lining of geospatial data services may provide a fiscal boundary. • Outreach opportunities on local, national and global or peer data sharing (between Universities) may lead to funding or collaborations. • Revalidation of science & data science across borders using geographical inquiry may reflect skills of global citizen.

32/60 Interviews (data Collections) Looking for sustainable geospatial data services
Impeding theory: How can the library can play a core role in STEM outreach/pipeline development and data curation that supports a research university agenda? Is it possible for a library to promote a cost saving if such data curation can be effectively sustained in data research life cycles.?
•
Research Questions: 1)How can a university campus know its geospatial community can be properly supported by its library? 2) Is Data Curation Profiles (or other use cases methods) enough to achieve sustainable geospatial data services. 3) What challenges exist in support project geospatial data that could expand to national or global audience use?

Sustainable Geospatial data services and data curation
Major Challenges to EDCF Researchers may resist a common metadata implementation across all disciplines International metadata standards and national standard may have incongruence, complicating data sharing Geospatial metadata librarian skill in terms of next generation data curation and geospatial data service sustainability. Metadata Integrity and maintenance on a global, national or project scale. (may be an issue if Librarians do not champion.)

Present Research Findings Middle diagram shows multiple approaches a library can use to define its geospatial community for sustainable data curation consideration More than one means or set of inputs may be needed for sustainable geospatial data curation Challenges- Metadata, infrastructure, incentives, geospatial training Building campus geospatial community relations where sustainable library support research becomes a norm.
Research Benefits Research libraries may find a cost benefit point where STEM broader impacts and geospatial data curation reach a sustainable levels of data service support. Library budgets may benefit internally and externally to effectively reach sustainable geospatial data services with a fully data curation lifecycle.
