Blog from October, 2015
SYNOPSIS:
Open commons containing large amounts of public biomedical data from the research community have the potential to speed up the pace of medical research. We describe the development of a large-scale open source data commons for genomic and associated clinical data and some of our experiences with it. We also discuss some of the different public and private data partnerships that are emerging for sharing genomic data.

SYNOPSIS:
The DataONE repository network, California Digital Library and Public Library of Science (PLOS) from October 2014–October 2015, works on a National Science Foundation-funded project to explore metrics — including citations, downloads and social media — for about 150,000 datasets. This presentation will summarize the major hurdles to make this work, the most important findings, and some ideas to go forward, including implementation as a production service.
