Sharing Data and Research Products in the HydroShare Repository to Enhance Transparency and Reproducibility of Scientific Research

HydroShare is a web-based repository and hydrologic information system operated by the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) that enables users to share, collaborate around, and publish data, models, code, and applications associated with water related research. This seminar will focus on the capabilities of the HydroShare repository and functionality related to submitting, sharing, and publishing data and research products. It will cover HydroShare’s resource data model, describing HydroShare resources with metadata, and some best practices for depositing data and research products in HydroShare. It will also cover how information technology and best practices can enhance the transparency, reproducibility, and trust in the findings of water-related research by making hydrologic information more findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR), and through linked computational systems simplifying the workflows needed for hydrologic modeling and analysis.

This presentation was delivered on December 7, 2021 at the USAID Center for Excellence for Water at Alexandria University Webinar Series.

HydroShare是由水文科学促进大学联盟（Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc.，CUAHSI）运营的基于网页的资源库与水文信息系统，支持用户共享、协同开展与水相关研究相关的数据、模型、代码及应用的创作与发布。本次研讨会将聚焦HydroShare资源库的功能特性，以及数据与研究产品的提交、共享及发布相关操作。内容将涵盖HydroShare的资源数据模型、基于元数据的资源描述方法，以及在HydroShare中归档数据与研究产品的最佳实践规范。此外，本次研讨会还将讲解信息技术与最佳实践规范如何通过提升水文信息的可发现性、可访问性、互操作性与可重用性（FAIR），并借助关联计算系统简化水文建模与分析所需的工作流程，从而增强水相关研究成果的透明度、可重复性与可信度。
本报告于2021年12月7日，在亚历山大大学美国国际开发署（United States Agency for International Development，USAID）水卓越中心网络研讨会系列活动中进行分享。
