Data staging
- http://datastar.mannlib.cornell.edu/about - DataStaR project: "The purpose of DataStaR is to support collaboration and data sharing among researchers during the research process, and to promote publishing or archiving data and high-quality metadata to discipline-specific data centers, and/or to Cornell's own digital repository (eCommons)."
- http://datastar.mannlib.cornell.edu/individual/datastar-resource/CornellUniversityGeospatialInformationRepositoryCUGIR - for discussion with Fritz Volrath?
- http://datastar.mannlib.cornell.edu/individual?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdatastar.mannlib.cornell.edu%2Fns%2Fmainapp%2FDataStaRMinimumMetadata - DataStaR minimum metadata
- http://datadryad.org/repo - 'a "small science" data repository'
- "Dryad is a repository of data underlying scientific publications, with an initial focus on evolution, ecology, and related fields. Dryad will allow future investigators to validate published findings, explore new analysis methodologies, repurpose the data for research questions unanticipated by the original authors, and perform synthetic studies such as formal meta-analyses."
- Dryad is built on DSpace.

- http://ptsefton.com/2009/03/05/desktop-eresearch-revolution.htm - interesting early discussions about the Fascinator
- http://www.screencast.com/users/lucido/folders/Jing/media/649c76b1-4205-4d83-8261-d7189438d48b - A screencast of Fascinator desktop; I don't know if there was supposed to be any sound, but I didn't hear any, so I am probably missing something: what I saw seemed to be little more than a web-based file browser, so it's hard to see what compelling value-add is here.
- This project has many deep resonances with what we're trying to do with ADMIRAL, though their starting point appears to be FEDORA+SOLR rather than a shared file system. I think this deserves some closer examination. Maybe we should try installing a copy and see how it looks?
- We installed a copy of the "watcher" component of the Fascinator in March, only to discover that at that time, while it harvested lists of files that had changed it, merely wrote them to a webpage rather than doing anything more active with them.
- The full Fascinator software (again at that time) did not install cleanly on our Ubuntu 9.10 system, and it did not seem worthwhile trying to sort through precisely why.
- However by the end of May it looks as if considerable further progress has been made, so a further exploration may well be merited at some point.
Web-based data handling

- http://galaxy.psu.edu/ - Galaxy workflows: "Galaxy allows you to do analyses you cannot do anywhere else without the need to install or download anything". This could be a toolkit that would make ADMIRAL more attractive to genomic researchers, and encourage them to gather and organize sufficient metadata to support analyses.

Web-based anotation
- http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~eresearch/projects/diasb/index.php - DIAS-B: Data Integration and Annotation Services for Biodiversity. Generates annotations that display over an existing web page, either using in-built annotation display hooks, or by passing through a page "repeater" that inserts such hooks on-the-fly. Focuses on text-only(?) annotation of web p[ages. I don't think it will be useful for locally-hosted datasets unless they are also web-viewable. Pliny is a related app that runs locally on a user's computer to create web page annotations that can be uploaded to the Danno server.
