Session Description
This session will encourage open discussion on the challenges associated with designing interdisciplinary science information portals to discuss the opportunities and challenges to connect data in terms of format and accessibility. Often building integrated, interoperable science information portals can fall into a trap of being expected to be “the” solution for every problem (e.g. ‘one ring to rule them all’). This session will also encourage active participation of the hybrid audience through live (e.g. Mentimeter) polling to gather CDI community perspectives, specifications of requirements for an interdisciplinary FAIR science portal, and language to better communicate limitations of a given interdisciplinary science product. This session is timely and fits with the “open data for open science” theme of the CDI Workshop to facilitate an open conversation on challenges and opportunities of science information portal design efforts across the community, to increase awareness of lessons learned and how to avoid developing what could be seen as competing products, what data are great candidates for inclusion into science information portals and why some data just don’t fit in integrated database architecture discussions.
