Agenda
Member node metrics (per Bruce)
Diagrams
Action items (next steps)
DataONE Metrics
What we log (data users)
IP address
User ID
When (date)
Which Member Node
Unauthenticated read = "nobody" (perhps "guest" or "anonymous")
Which browser reportedly used
What they did (event was - read/update)
Member Node API
MN logs information immediately
Periodic log back to Coordinating Node
Availability
to anyone with rights permission
to object (owner and anyone he grants)
e.g., DAAC object owner (ORNL DAAC)
Permissions
permissions to read
permissions to write
Governed by who has rights permission for particular access
Unauthenticated searches
still provide date, time, IP address
can see this information if you have permission
The "user agent" field - provides information about searches that are built
Careful to explain
for a lot of things (for the user) there is limited privacy
log on - we know who you are
not logged in - limited use
Static Measures
1. Cost-benefit analysis [static measure]
right software in place
adequate staff (metrics from existing MN, CN would be useful here)
Dynamic Measures
2. Services provided by DataONE, MN, CN (how much and how often used)
software
3. Where metrics collected, aggregated
Metrics can be collected either at CN or MN; MN metrics would have to be sent to CN for aggregation across DataONE
4. Supports - helpdesk for the user
how often helpdesk contacted, response time
5. Helpdest for the MN, CN
6. interacting support between MN and CN (making sure monitored to maintain standard)
interoperability (in the face of changes at either). Software interoperability is set up at the beginning but this needs to be maintained. This is important for CI to understand (new 'improvements' in software are not neccessarily well received)).
What are metrics supposed to be doing?
Sustain system
Adds to individual researcher prestige by being provider (DOI)
Prestige for MN
MN gains reputation because the more used datasets are highly valued and provide reflective glory to MN: demonstrated ROI; attracts funding
How often used?
e.g., DOI increasingly used as citation
How much data volume sent to a particular user? (transmission information)
Which particular datasets accessed by the user?
Important for credit to originator (almost as important for citations in publications)
Important for managing digital repository
Cost-benefit analysis
right software in place
thanks everyone!
not quite sure how I log out! Lovely to chat.
