Hello,

You may already have seen the email thread with Prof. Shakouri. I am a PhD student working with a team to build a platform for organizing, preserving, and sharing data. That platform is called DataHub (datacenterhub.org).

DataHub is like a self-serve database, with features like:

• A tabular structure to make it easy to search across datasets
• Simple dataset creation (3-steps)
  
• Multi-user dataset editing
• Custom parameters that are displayed right alongside your data - so users can search your dataset using any parameters you want. Here's an example from some tests conducted at Bowen Lab where the dataset owner defined custom parameters.

We are hosting a half-day workshop on June 28th (9am-2pm) in SC G046. We will provide breakfast and lunch; we ask only that attendees bring data to upload. The data will not be published unless the attendee decides to do so. 

It would be great if some nanotechnology students could attend. Would you be willing to forward the link below to your organization / encourage some students to attend? Link: http://goo.gl/forms/xb8GgHBhOa1G2Aoi1
