Join us TODAY, June 27th at 3:00 pm ET for the next presentation in the HydroShare Webinar Series ________________________________
On Monday, June 27th, Jeff Horsburgh of Utah State University will present a webinar titled 'Collaborative Data and Model Sharing using HydroShare.' This is the second in the webinar series that will demonstrate how HydroShare can be used to conduct better research and comprehensively fulfill Data Management Plans for many different types of data including GIS files, model components, and time series data. How do you manage, track, and share hydrologic data and models within your research group? Do you find it difficult to keep track of who has access to which data and who has the most recent version of a dataset or research product? Do you sometimes find it difficult to share data and models and collaborate with colleagues outside your home institution? Would it be easier if you had a simple way to share and collaborate around hydrologic datasets and models? HydroShare is a new, web-based system for sharing hydrologic data and models with specific functionality aimed at making collaboration easier. Within HydroShare, we have developed new functionality for creating datasets, describing them with metadata, and sharing them with collaborators. In HydroShare we cast hydrologic datasets and models as "social objects" that can be published, collaborated around, annotated, discovered, and accessed. In this presentation, we will discuss and demonstrate the collaborative and social features of HydroShare and how it can enable new, collaborative workflows for you, your research group, and your collaborators across institutions. HydroShare's access control and sharing functionality enable both public and private sharing with individual users and collaborative user groups, giving you flexibility over who can access data and at what point in the research process. HydroShare can make it easier for collaborators to iterate on shared datasets and models, creating multiple versions along the way, and publishing them with a permanent landing page, metadata description, and citable Digital Object Identifier (DOI). Functionality for creating and sharing resources within collaborative groups can also make it easier to overcome barriers such as institutional firewalls that can make collaboration around large datasets difficult. Functionality for commenting on and rating resources supports community collaboration and quality evaluation of resources in HydroShare. Questions will be taken after the presentation. Webinars are free and open to the public. Webinars will be recorded and posted to the CUAHSI website for later viewing. ________________________________ Upcoming Webinars in the HydroShare Webinar Series July 11 @ 3:00pm ET David Tarboton, Utah State University Delineate Watersheds and Perform Hydrologic Terrain Analysis with HydroShare and CyberGIS July 18 @ 3:00pm ET Venkatesh Merwade, Purdue University and Jeff Sadler, Brigham Young University Share, Publish and Execute your SWAT models with HydroShare and SWATShare August 1 @ 3:00pm ET Dan Ames, Brigham Young University Apps for Web Based Hydrologic Analysis and Modeling in HydroShare ________________________________ Connect to the webinars at: http://cuahsi.adobeconnect.com/cyberseminar/ You will be prompted with audio connection information upon entering the meeting room. ________________________________ Questions?
