This week, I got an opportunity to meet my primay mentor Dr. Deborah L. McGuinness and my secondary mentor Dr. Xixi Luo. As part of our face-to-face meeting, the goals of the project was established. We discussed the weekly tasks assigned and reviewed the schedule. The tasks for this week Continue reading Week 2: Update on ESOR
To begin my second week, I discussed daily goals as well as something to achieve by the end of the week. These goals were to better familiarize myself with the software prototype they have working as well as to create a GUI using various Python libraries. Each day, I researched Continue reading Second Week as an intern on the Interactive Workflow Views team
This week I explored different software for conduction network analyses. When I started wondering around, I found there were many, many tools available online. So the question was not only about picking one useful software, but was about finding efficient software, which is proper for our data set. It is Continue reading Week Two: Social Network Analysis Applications
My first week of internship was great, as I began working on the project “Making a Robust and Useful Earth Science Ontology Repository”. I didn’t get to meet my mentors Dr. Deborah L. McGuinness and Dr. Xixi Luo this week, and we communicated via email. I will be working on Continue reading Week 1: Beginning to work on Earth Science Ontology Repository
I just started my first week as an intern for DataOne under the Interactive Workflows Views project. To begin, I met with my mentors, Bertram Ludaescher, Paolo Missier, and Timothy Mcphillips and after catching up and familiarizing myself with the team and project, we discussed long term and short term goals for Continue reading First Week as an Intern for the Yes Workflow Team (Interactive Workflows Views)

We made our plan for the internship and described the expected results. Also, I had a chance to hear mentor Continue reading Week One
For the next month, the cit-sci team and I will be working on an article for the PLOS community page, which publishes short articles of interest to the scientific community. We have been thinking a lot about how to make metadata documentation more user friendly and about how to make citizen Continue reading Bringing more visibility to citizen science data
There is a lot to think about at the start of this project. The goals are “measuring interconnections made and the potential for new types of science that may be only now emerging and largely unrealized.” How do we measure the impact of DataONE? How can we predict where “new Continue reading A question of impact
The 2015 cohort of dataONE interns will begin their research activities next week and will maintain open notebooks here for you to follow. Check back shortly.
Last week, I had the opportunity to travel to Fort Collins, CO to visit with the CitSci.org team at Colorado State University! CitSci.org provides online tools to help citizen science project coordinators create and customize projects, save data, and perform basic analyses on the collected data. Working with the team (Greg Continue reading Adventures in Colorado
