digitalHPS:About

From digitalHPS

This site is the result of discussions that occurred at the Woods Hole Digital HPS Workshop from April 24-25, 2009. View the list of projects involved in this consortium.

The workshop's goal was to "establish a workable community wide digital infrastructure for HPS, discuss current existing solutions, draft a plan for an architecture and establish short, medium and long term goals and programming developments."

As a result, we identified four areas that need to be addressed in a community-wide collaborative effort:

• Repositories
• Ontologies
• Tools for discovery and analysis of data
• Dissemination

Based on these areas and continued discussions, we have developed a White Paper outlining the goals, objectives, and processes that we have identified as being necessary components towards a digital HPS cyberinfrastructure.
