Creating a Repository of Publication Citations for a Data Center

Tracking dataset citations in scientific publications provide multiple benefits: obtaining citation indices for quantitative evaluation of the dataset scientific impact, learning about dataset usage in applied sciences, credits to dataset creators, datasets co-citation relationships and many more.

The Challenges of Releasing Human Data for Analysis

The NASA Johnson Space Center s (NASA JSC) Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects (CPHS) recently approved the formation of two human data repositories: the Lifetime Surveillance of Astronaut Health Repository (LSAH-R) for clinical data and the Life Sciences Data Archive Repository (LSDA-R) for research data. The establishment of these repositories forms the foundation for the release of data and information beyond the scope for which the data was originally collected. The release of clinical and research data and information is primarily managed by two NASA groups: the Evidence Base Working Group (EBWG), consisting of members of both repositories, and the LSAH Policy Board. The goal of unifying these repositories and their processes is to provide a mutually supportive approach to handling medical and research data, to enhance the use of medical and research data to reduce risk, and to promote the understanding of space physiology, countermeasures and other mitigation strategies. Over the past year, both repositories have received over 100 data and information requests from a wide variety of requesters. The disposition of these requests has highlighted the challenges faced when attempting to make data collected on a unique set of subjects available beyond the original intent for which the data were collected. As the EBWG works through each request, many considerations must be factored into account when deciding what data can be shared and how - from the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), to NASA s Health Information Management System (10HIMS) and Human Experimental and Research Data Records (10HERD) access requirements. Additional considerations include the presence of the data in the repositories and vetting requesters for legitimacy of their use of the data. Additionally, fair access must be ensured for intramural, as well as extramural investigators. All of this must be considered in the formulation of the charters, policies and workflows for the human data repositories at NASA.

AdaNET phase 0 support for the AdaNET Dynamic Software Inventory (DSI) management system prototype. Catalog of available reusable software components

The Ada Software Repository is a public-domain collection of Ada software and information. The Ada Software Repository is one of several repositories located on the SIMTEL20 Defense Data Network host computer at White Sands Missile Range, and available to any host computer on the network since 26 November 1984. This repository provides a free source for Ada programs and information. The Ada Software Repository is divided into several subdirectories. These directories are organized by topic, and their names and a brief overview of their topics are contained. The Ada Software Repository on SIMTEL20 serves two basic roles: to promote the exchange and use (reusability) of Ada programs and tools (including components) and to promote Ada education.

System and method for responding to ground and flight system malfunctions

A system for on-board anomaly resolution for a vehicle has a data repository. The data repository stores data related to different systems, subsystems, and components of the vehicle. The data stored is encoded in a tree-based structure. A query engine is coupled to the data repository. The query engine provides a user and automated interface and provides contextual query to the data repository. An inference engine is coupled to the query engine. The inference engine compares current anomaly data to contextual data stored in the data repository using inference rules. The inference engine generates a potential solution to the current anomaly by referencing the data stored in the data repository.

Data Preservation: Final Step in the Life Cycle of a Mission

Many NASA Earth Observing System (EOS) have either already reached the end of their active life or are nearing it. Preservmissionsation of data products is a fairly well defined task for the NASA EOS Data Centers or DAACs.The Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES-DISC) has implemented a repository system, which is capable of long-term archive of documentation artifacts and other associated digital content. The existing GES-DISC Repository System is based on Fedora Commons, an open-source repository management software, for cost savings and flexibility.The first mission to utilize the GES-DISC Repository System was the High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) on the Aura spacecraft. Since then, the GES DISC has gathered documentation from the UARS and TOMS into the Repository. The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) team has begun delivering some early pre-launch documents to the GES-DISC Repository System as well. Other missions in planning or progress include AIRS, OMI, SORCE, SNPP Sounder, and TRMM.

Towards Streamlining Auditing for Compliance With Requirements in Open-Source Software at NASA

Context: NASA requires all software to meet several requirements (NPR 7150.2) depending on software criticality. The instantiation of these requirements may vary per project; however, once decided upon, projects must undergo audits to evaluate compliance with these requirements. Aim: We propose that audit effort can be reduced when requirements are realized by leveraging commonly used open-source infrastructure for version control, issue tracking and continuous integration, and the generated records are analyzed using a repository mining software tool to quantify process compliance. Method: We perform a case study in the NASA-funded Copilot project, utilizing Kaiaulu, a repository mining software tool. We define four software compliance metrics based on the Copilot’s requirements, and analyze their impact on source code quality. Results: Our work demonstrates how it is possible to leverage existing open source tools and platforms to facilitate software certification and qualification, and to streamline the auditing process required even when stringent requirements must be enforced. Conclusion: Together, both project and tool can be utilized to visualize project compliance, and metrics can be defined to more easily identify process irregularities to minimize auditing efforts.
