Research institutes, national laboratories, colleges, universities, and commercial companies conduct millions of scientific research projects each year. Increasingly the output of this research is digital - including objects such as documents, streaming video, datasets, computer programs and websites. The objects that result from these projects may be stored in document management, records management or project library systems. However, they are often considered ephemeral and are generally hard to find
and reuse, especially after the project is completed. This panel, sponsored by SIG STI, will discuss the importance of information from scientific research projects and the efforts that are underway to expose the hidden knowledge in these resources in ways that are beneficial to the researchers and to the organizations. The development of core metadata sets, along with ontologies and other techniques for knowledge organization will be discussed.
