2. GAW Symposium, Highlights session
If we receive your highlights we can already discuss how to digest them into a presentation.
-
Input from WDCGG and EUBrewnet well received.
-
Call for a unified portal for GAW data from the Chair.
-
Inputs to the Highlights session are not expected to be a series of bullet points with achievements and future plans, but rather a nice story of interest to the audience.
-
Alex commented on a big increase in data downloads caused by AI.
*Discussion on how to make sure that the data that is produced by AI it's really correct, the right data has been used, and the conclusions that can be extracted are right. Data Passport or research data crate suggested (metadata persistent identifier).
3. GAW Symposium, Questionnaire
Discussion on the ideal questionnaire and when it would be good to share it.
Questionnaire draft for discussion
-
Questions focused on WDCs, suggestion to ask the community where do they prefer to find data in WDCs or in other DCs, or if this is an issue.
-
Suggestion to include UV radiation in Q2.
-
Suggestion to ask for consequences on the possibility of DCs closure.
4. GAW Symposium, future GAW Implementation Plan
