Description
Summary:This talk was held at Arctic change conference 2017 in Quebec. It is about the lessens learned from developing the strategic foundations for the establishment of an panarctic information system on benthic biodiversity data geared towards arctic research, decision making, and conservation biology. Two main questions were in focus: first, how data management must be set up to handle both research in progress and outbound data services, and second, how an information systems must be set up to be useful to and taken up by users. Background is the need to overcome the existing technical debts in data management to enable modern data science and responsive stakeholder interaction as well as the observation that technical systems like information systems have a much higher likelihood of failure if they are not being developed in a user centered fashion. Products are an internal and an international workshop (in prep.) to raise awareness for these topics and feeding into a white paper (in prep.) laying out a roadmap to ensure usability and usefulness of future data warehousing solutions.
