#datalumos — Public Fediverse posts

Today's #MemeMonday happens to also coincide with #StarWarsDay. It's NOT a trap! Here at the DRP, we use @[email protected]'s #DataLumos for our #DataRescue efforts. Whether it's in ICPSR or another repository, we encourage you to preserve and publish your data, enabling maximum reuse.

For this week's #MemeMonday, don't be like Aragorn! If you're able to, please consider publishing your data in a reputable repository. We here at DRP deposit our rescued data in #DataLumos from @[email protected]

Next! How can I report errors with a #DataLumos project if I find one?

Speaking of @[email protected], our next question is whether there is a risk of #DataLumos being taken down too?

We also use @[email protected]'s #DataLumos when uploading data into a repository.

@libreoffice Open data standards are critical particularly in times of authoritarianism. To make sure people can use the files in future. https://www.datalumos.org/datalumos/ #datalumos #opendata

"The directors of the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research (#ISR) and the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (#ICPSR) are emphasizing the critical need for preserving government data that may be at risk due to recent policy shifts....Through #DataLumos, an ICPSR archive for valuable government data resources, ICPSR is helping the data community to preserve, document, and disseminate thousands of files from agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control [#CDC] and the Department of Education [#DOE]."
