The 'Middle Tail': Community-Supported Data Repositories in Paleoecology

<p>Powerpoint presentation from GSA 2015 discussing the emergence of community-led data repositories (COLDARs) in paleoecology and paleontology as a solution to 'long-tail' data. The talk has two sections</p> <p>1) Building COLDARs</p> <p>2) Connecting COLDARs</p> <p>Specific examples and updates are provided from the Neotoma Paleoecology Database, Cyberinfrastructure for Paleogeosciences (C4P RCN), and the Paleobiological Data Consortium (PDC).
