Short description and the goals for the session

Increasing interests in (and requirements for) making scientific data publicly available has driven the launch and growth of a range of scientific data repositories with various storage back-ends, often cloud-based. This proposed emergent session is about the front-end: how can sharers of open datasets best showcase what's in their datasets, so their contemporary and future colleagues can appreciate, understand, re-analyze, and even potentially reach new insights and discoveries from their hard-won data? The host(s) believe that open examples -- publicly viewable and runable computational notebooks with code & text that accesses, explains, and uses the open data -- are a/the key ingredient to drive more engagement with and scientfic advances from open datasets. This session will get into the nitty gritty of puzzles, emerging best practices, and other considerations for producing and disseminating such open examples, such as how remote data is best accessed, data subsetting, cloud & containerized example sandboxes, and more.

Exemplars of example-enriched open scientific data repositories

• Accessing and using the CNSP data archive
• DandiHub compute environment, with usage and reproduction examples using MatNWB
• Interface for converting OpenNeuro cloud data to datastore objects, e.g., for AI workflows (🚧🐣 early stage)

Resources for example-enriched open scientific data repositories

• Open in MATLAB Online from Git and GitHub
• Functions accepting remote data in MATLAB

Thank you for submitting the request. I will pencil you in for ses4-6/26 (Thu.) 9:15-10:15 and confirm the time slot once the request is complete. We will also confirm the final schedule with you right before OHBM (during our BrainHack between June 21st-23rd).

Please continue to finish this request. Thank you!

Hi @vijayiyer05, to clarify, we will need to choose to accept if more requests come in. We will decide the four sessions from early submissions on June 15th. If this session is not chosen in this round, we will still consider it as a submission during OHBM and will confirm the time during the OHBM BrainHack.

Thank you for submitting the request. I will pencil you in for ses4-6/26 (Thu.) 9:15-10:15 and confirm the time slot once the request is complete. We will also confirm the final schedule with you right before OHBM (during our BrainHack between June 21st-23rd).

Please continue to finish this request. Thank you!

FYI @juchiyu: every list now has at least 2 items, so I've removed the construction emojis and now consider this a live proposal!

Am discussing with other community members and will continue adding to the lists. Have also added a note reinforcing that co-host(s) are welcomed, including from other ecosystems, if hands are raised.

Hi @vijayiyer05, thank you for submitting to the emergent session. We will have you for ses6-6/27 (Fri.) 9:15-10:15.

Please address the following comments from the OSR team:

• Please specify how interactive your session will be with the attendees.
• We encourage you to incorporate more interactive components into your session to engage the community more effectively.

We will be preparing the proceedings for the OSR, please keep in mind that we will need some paragraphs about your sessions from you and will be collecting you author information soon during the OHBM.

Thank you @juchiyu for confirming this session timeslot. Looking forward to it!

Modulo <remain open to co-hosts and/or other suggestions>, the currently planned format is entirely interactive:

• X* minutes: short demos (7.5 minutes, w/ quick Q&A) of runnable computational notebooks showcasing open data, with voiceovers 1) briefly describing the open dataset & example & 2) a bit less briefly describing the example's design & implementation considerations
• 60-X minutes: open discussion with audience, sparked by the demos, re the why, what, and especially how of 'byte-sized' open data showcases

(*) X = up to and hopefully reaching 30 minutes (4 demos)
