Background

Major players

  • Data.gov - basically an repository of the consistent metadata - "it's just the phone book, not the actual houses."
  • DataRefuge (UPENN) - committed to making citable copies with clearly documented chains of custody, so let's help with that.
  • Internet Archive & Archive Team - basically a hard drive, doing wayback machine for all nominated websites BUT it's just a crawl, it will miss a lot of data because the bots are dumb
  • UC system - a bunch of simultaneous projects on storing and archiving data
  • California Digital Library - another harddrive, but with metadata expertise
  • UC Riverside - Azimuth data rescue project
  • UC Davis - Climate-mirror data rescue project

Wider Community Involvent

  • You're now part of a multi-city, multi-institutal effort to catalog and archive data
