Development of the Best Practices project
Background and Goals National Research Council report: Geoscience Data and
Collections: National Resources in Peril Energy Policy Act (Public Law 109-58, Section 351) Implementation Plan for the NGGDPP
“establish minimum standards and best practices for the preservation and archiving of … geologic data and collections”
“establish guidelines for the proper preservation of physical samples, as well as original data and derived information”
“coordinate efforts with other organizations that are dedicated to the exchange of information in the geosciences”

Where to begin?
1. Define scope of project What are we trying to accomplish? Our mission statement
2. Investigate standards Look at needs and practices of the Data Preservation
community
3. Identify Best Practices Once we know process of preserving data and making
them available...

Developing standards
What are Standards?“something used as a measure, norm or model in comparative evaluations; a required or agreed level of quality or attainment.”
National Standards and Best Practices for U.S. Museums, 2008
Reflect broadly accepted views Reflect areas where things actually go wrong Change over time

Identifying Best Practices
What are “Best Practices?” Carries an implication of the final answer? The Best way of doing things?
A means to seek improved and applied methods Lead to the development of
newer, better strategies for data and geoscience sample management
