The CHORUS Dashboard provides visualizations and a variety of reports from the Global Research Infrastructure for Federal agencies and other users. The INFORMATE project focuses on three of the CHORUS Reports: All, Author Affiliation and Dataset. The goal of the first phase of the project is to understand the contents of the CHORUS reports and the data collection and processing that bring the data to the reports, i.e. the CHORUS Data Journey.

How can the global research infrastructure increase understanding of the myriad contributions made to global knowledge by U.S. Federal agencies? How can we use this infrastructure to increase understanding of connections across the U.S. and global research landscape? How can this infrastructure be used to increase completeness, consistency, and connectivity within agency repositories and search tools?

DataCite metadata with the term Project in the resourceType occur in at least ten repositories, with the majority in the Center for Open Science (cos.osf) and Zenodo (cern.zenodo).

The FAIR Island Project has recently been exploring how the global research infrastructure can be used to connect all kinds of research resources related to scientifically significant places back to the place that enabled the work (i.e. the field station). We recently explored connecting data management plans, protocols, and datasets to projects at field stations in French Polynesia.

A recent talk introduces the concept of repository re-curation as a means of improving connectivity with identifiers while complying with the Nelson Memo. Examples from three types of research organizations are described: Dryad, a generalist repository, institutional repositories, and biologic field stations. Slides and a video of the talk are included.
