Container Strategies for Data & Software Preservation that Promote Open Science

Container Strategies for Data & Software Preservation is a two day linux container centric workshop organized by the NSF-funded Data and Software Preservation for Open Science (DASPOS, daspos.org) project, hosted at the University of Notre Dame. The Workshop will feature keynote speakers, lightning talks, demonstrations, and hands-on breakouts related to container strategies for software and data preservation that promote open science, science reproducibility and re-use. The workshop seeks participation and contributions from scientists, students, digital librarians, tool and software developers & system administrators who want to both share their ideas and learn how to better preserve and share software and data with their peers, publishers, and funders. The participants will have the opportunity to learn about how others are using Docker and related container tools like e.g. ReproZip, Umbrella, SmartContainer, NDS Dashboard in environments like the National Data Service, Open Science Framework, government, publisher and institutional repositories.

The workshop organizers are confident that no matter the participants’ level of expertise with container tools and strategies for preserving software and computational environments they will learn from other stakeholders, benefit from the well designed online use cases, and leave the workshop better able to share their data, software and other digital research objects. You’ll have a strategy for how to meet publisher and funder requirements for sharing the outputs of your research even when that research is software dependent.
