The EarthCube Research Coordination Network project has scheduled a “What About Model Data?” workshop at the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, on July 25-27, 2022. The workshop will focus on tackling open issues in preservation, sharing, and curation of data and software from research that utilizes simulations. Questions to be addressed include:
- How can simulation data and software curation activities be supported in a sustainable way?
- What is the appropriate archive lifetime of simulation data?
- How can equity in provenance, accessibility, and dissemination of data and software be ensured?
- How should requirements from publishers and funding agencies play a role in data and software curation, and what support should they or can they provide?
Several NCAR staff members are involved in the project and serve as members of the steering committee. For more information and registration details, visit
