Coming soon .. DataONE postdoc Yiwei Wang will be working with members of CitSci.org on their metadata standards project and writing about her research activities here. DataONE previously had an active Citizen Science Working Group and postdoc, Andrea Wiggins, working with us and it is wonderful that we can continue supporting this Continue reading Continued DataONE collaboration with CitSci.org
As mentioned last week, we’d like to develop our own tool to capture provenance information of digital notebooks, so writing an iPython extension is good choice. An iPython extension is like an user defined library, and defined APIs can be registered that they can be invoked in the notebook as functions. So following Continue reading Week 9 – The road ahead
Over the course of this summer’s DataONE OPeNDAP effort, a key goal of ours has been the development of two things: new practices for managing provenance tracing within the OPeNDAP framework, as well as reference code for future developers to use as a reference. As of now, our reference code Continue reading Week 9 Update: Wrapping up…
As we’re approaching the end of this summer project, it’s time to think about the end game. We’re targeting to study the provenance of notebooks and we choose iPython notebook as a use case and we studied NoWorkflow system in detail, so it’s natural to combine these two together. Since Continue reading Week 8 – Notebook provenance
Let’s continue on the front of capturing provenance information on the Python script that visualizes a NetCDF file, using NoWorkflow system. In previous blogs, I mentioned that NoWorkflow provenance has three types: definition, development and execution. For execution provenance, only function activation and file access information are captured, there is not very Continue reading Week 7 – Provenance questions
Over the course of the summer internship, some things went better than others, but, overall, challenges were minor. I am grateful for the experience, having learned a great deal about metadata, data curation, the field of technical writing and training, and video production. In addition to providing feedback on the Continue reading ONEMercury Tutorials – Screencast Tutorials, Final Post
I completed a few tasks during my last week with the internship. One of the major activities during the week was to connect with Yuan Ling, the RDA intern who is working on policy for the Metadata Standards Directory. We talked a little about what I did over the summer Continue reading Week Ten, Last Blog
Technically this was the last week of the internship, the good thing is that I have all the features that I’m supposed to achieve implemented. But as any other real software, in order to make it really useful for practical purposes, there’s still way to go. In next period, our job Continue reading Week 9 – To be continued
In these three weeks, I continued to code to improve the usability of SE. I focused on the following six tasks. 1. Allow users to choose data units in parallel coordinate plots; First, I added a pair of radio button to implement the function. One is year; another is month. After Continue reading Week 7,8,9
Last summer, my work on the Annotator was strictly client-side, with my mentor taking care of all of the server-side code and juts telling me which methods to use on my end. This year, though, I’m making additions to the framework we built the Annotator on to add the ability Continue reading Weeks 7, 8, 9 – All the server-side things
