The data lifecycle for a majority of the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Major and Mid-scale Facilities starts with data acquisition and capture from scientific instrument(s), e.g. telescopes, sensors, field devices, spectrometers, accelerators, interferometers, magnets, lasers, to name a few. Quite often, the data acquisition step and the associated data management practices at the facility to capture this initial data dictate the effectiveness of the latter parts of the data lifecycle.
This virtual workshop, organized by the NSF CI Compass, the Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence, will explore this crucial first step and focus on the topic of: “Data Management: From Instrument to First Storage.”
This is a virtual event hosted on Zoom, held January 22 - 24, 2025, from 9 a.m. - Noon PT / 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. MT / 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. CT / Noon - 3 p.m. ET.
