Webinar: Data Delivery User Experience - Is it important to your facility? Featuring Jeffrey Glatstein, WHOI
NSF CI Compass webinar "Data Delivery User Experience - Is it important to your facility?" featured Jeffrey Glatsein, Senior Manager of Cyberinfrastructure at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), where he oversees data systems for the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI). This webinar originally aired on June 10, 2025.
Abstract:
The webinar will surface the importance of a user’s experience when finding and accessing OOI data. How OOI identified and addressed issues with its legacy data portal. Communicating OOI’s journey to provide the necessary tools to access OOI data is one goal of the talk. The second is to hear from the community of Facilities to understand if their user’s experience of finding and accessing data is considered to be important and if so, was it a consideration during the implementation of the data delivery process? Plenty of time will be left over for that discussion.
