Code and Software: How would you share yours? [poster]

Abstract

BCO-DMO curates earth science data where models become increasingly important. The Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) is a publicly accessible earth science data repository created to curate, publicly serve (publish), and archive digital data and information from biological, chemical and biogeochemical research conducted in coastal, marine, great lakes and laboratory environments. Recently, more and more of the projects submitted to BCO-DMO represent modeling efforts which further increase our knowledge of chemical and biological properties within the ocean ecosystem. We feel the time is at hand for the scientific community to begin a concerted and holistic approach to the curation of code and software.
