Abstract

Activity Date Outcome

Met with researcher in materials chemistry to showcase DataHub and help them create a dataset

May - July 2017

New dataset created: https://datacenterhub.org/resources/14436

In June there were 18,000 new experiments (tripled total number of published experiments)

Ran advertisement in Concrete International, September 2017

7 Sep 2017

82 new users registered (34% increase) from June through September

35 new datasets created in August through September (13% of total number of published datasets).

In September there was a 10% increase in files downloaded and a 14% increase in dataset views.

Promoted DataHub among CE571 students, required them to download data from DataHub

Oct 2017

New dataset was created to support homework assignment: https://datacenterhub.org/resources/14698

In October there was an 11% increase in files uploaded, 27% increase in files downloaded, 11% increase in dataset views and a 5% increase in new users registered.

Used DataHub in class in Colombia (one-week course at UniValle), encouraged students to sign up, promoted data on earthquake engineering

Oct 2017

 

Promoted DataHub at ACI convention in Anaheim, CA

15-19 Oct 2017

 

Promoted DataHub to engineers in Mexico City, collected data for DataHub after Mexico City Earthquake

Oct 2017

 

Shared and explained data on DataHub to ATC regarding project on building vulnerability evaluation (they chose data from buildings from Tohoku, Japan, to run a critical study)

Oct 2017

 

Included links to DataHub on a number of papers being reviewed for publication

Oct 2017

 

Proposed alternatives for adoption of data-repositories (including DataHub) to Graduate School, Concrete International Journal, Earthquake Spectra Journal

Oct 2017

 

Explained DataHub at Purdue's forums related to "Data Initiative"

Oct 2017

 

Proposed use of DataHub at Bowen Laboratory

Oct 2017

 

Used and referenced data from DataHub for two graduate classes at Nagoya Institute of Technology

4 Dec 2017
18 Dec 2017

Students studying size effect show interest in using datasets on the topic.

Follow-up on 29 Jan: data were downloaded and will be used / cited

Promoted the use of DataHub during earthquake reconnaissance in South Korea    

Dec 2017

Dataset forthcoming

In December there was a 6% increase in dataset views and a 3% increase in new users registered.

Suggested to collaborator in Croatia to host data from his past research projects on DataHub

Jan 2018

In January there was a 5% increase in files downloaded and a 6% increase in dataset views.

Looked into advertisement in ENR

Jan 2018

(not affordable: costs were between $11,000 - $16,000)

Visited collaborators at Tohoku University, participated in workshop about current research 

22 Feb 2018

Research group at Tohoku University is already using earthquake reconnaissance datasets on DataHub and citing them in JCI/AIJ papers. Other research group was unaware but took note of the URL.

Presented research, showing datasets on DataHub at ACI convention in Salt Lake City, Utah

25-26 Mar 2018

2017 Pohang EQ damage survey, ACI 445 C fib punching shear, ACI 369 column databases were shown to ACI committee and subcommittee members, prompting members to view and download data
