Popis: This Ocean-Shot will seek to advance community awareness and practice around open science, based on the activities and outcomes generated by a growing cadre of U.S.-based and international developers working with open software libraries and in cloud computing environments. This practice will require additional software and tooling and required a shift in thinking toward a philosophy of trust and transparency. Key to this endeavor will be to take advantage of innovative development tools and practices that will better enable science by decreasing barriers to collaborations, reproducibility, and interdisciplinary research.For data, this will mark a shift from a central repository model to central service model, enabling data-proximate computing. Most commonly today, data are downloaded from central locations for analysis on local environments. We hope to advance data-proximate computing that facilitates the accessing of data in central locations and running analysis there. This will mark a move from current reliance on locally deployed packages and servers to making products and services readily available on the cloud. The project will contribute to a step change of how datasets are accessed and used across the community. Throughout the decade it will build on the training and capacity development currently supported by NASA, and upon the professional development activities of other stakeholders.
