Title: On Scientific Data Discoverability
 
Abstract: Scientific datasets are generated by large-scale simulation and observations and grow in terms of sizes and variety. In the ocean of data, scientists often struggle in finding desired data efficiently. In the previous study, we have proposed MIQS - a self-contained metadata indexing and querying service which can address the metadata search in the context of self-describing data file collection, which potentially opens up a new era of metadata management. To embrace such an opportunity, we further investigate data and metadata discovery problem in general. In this talk, I will briefly review what we have accomplished in terms of metadata management and then discuss further studies needed to address scientific data discoverability challenges.
