Enhancing Collaboration Across NASA’s Science Repositories and Stakeholders: Findings From the 2024 Data Repositories Workshop

NASA has a long history of collecting and openly sharing scientific data to help users better understand the sun, the Earth, the solar system and the universe. Over 40 repositories across five broad scientific disciplines work to archive, manage and care for these valuable NASA assets. To improve interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary science, NASA has developed a scientific data and information governance strategy. The strategy focuses on collaborative approaches to build a more connected and cooperative stewardship community while recognizing the diversity of domain specific data needs. In this presentation, we will share NASA’s vision for connected scientific data and information governance in addition to findings and lessons learned from the 2024 Open Source Science Data Repositories Workshop.
