Borgman Digital Libraries CENS & CENSEI http://works.bepress.com/jillian_wallis/20 http://works.bepress.com/jillian_wallis/20 Mon, 11 May 2009 20:54:15 PDT CENS collects data for scientific applications using nascent embedded sensing system technology on real-world deployments. Data collection occurs through a complex set of interactions and relationships between people, instruments, and the physical setting. In order to fully understand and evaluate data that results from real-world deployments, it is necessary to be aware of the context of data collection. CENS deployment documentation varies widely, existing both electronically and in lab or field notebooks, and is typically stored separate from the data. We are developing the CENS Deployment Center, a web accessible database for deployment information to provide CENS research groups with a centralized location for pre-deployment planning and post-deployment knowledge. We hope that the CENSDC will promote deployment efficiency and continuity as research personnel changes over time and CENS technology is deployed more widely. Matthew S.

Archivists rarely receive scientific data until findings are published, by which time important information about their origins, context, and provenance may be lost. Research reported here addresses the life cycle of data from collaborative ecological research with embedded networked sensing technologies. A better understanding of these processes will enable archivists to participate in earlier stages of the life cycle and to improve curation of these types of scientific data. Evidence from our interview study and field research yields a nine-stage life cycle. Among the findings are the cumulative effect of decisions made at each stage of the life cycle; the balance of decision-making between scientific and technology research partners; and the loss of certain types of data that may be essential to later interpretation.

This cross-center research breaks down into three classes of research: 1) General statistical models for embedded sensing, with specific applications to data quality and continuous sampling, 2) Significant CENS-designed and supported databases and repositories, and 3) Studies into the data lifecycle for embedded sensing systems.
