WP3: Capacity building and training

TTG, 19-20 March 2014, Barcelona

WP Objectives• Training of data managers and technicians of

data centres in the operation of Seadatanet services

• Training in the uptake of upgraded standards and data management procedures and in the implementation of new infrastructures components

• Bringing all data centres onto an equal footing

TTG, 19-20 March 2014, Barcelona

First training course: programme• The first two days were targeting the data managers:

common vocabularies, the metadata catalogues (including EDIOS and CSR), Nemo and Mikado.

• The next two days were devoted to Ocean Data View and DIVA.

• The last day was devoted to the functioning of the SeaDataNet data discovery and “shopping” system: CDI’s, Download manager, Request Status Manager and the new system monitoring. To conclude, an introduction to the management of biological data gave the participants the flavour of the upcoming developments.

TTG, 19-20 March 2014, Barcelona

1st training course: users feedback• The majority of the trainees were data managers (45.7%),

the rest being either scientists (31.4%), or data centre technicians (22.9%).

TTG, 19-20 March 2014, Barcelona

1st training course: users feedback

• Keep the programme more compact (3-4 days)• Better target the audience• Put more emphasis on practice• Make some kind of thematic workshops focused on use

cases• Better organise training material (on network server)
