Brown Dog:
The data analysis/manipulation software developed here will be pushed into the NSF DIBBs: Brown Dog (ACI-1261582) Data Transformation Service (DTS) as data extractors/converters within the Clowder and Polyglot frameworks respectively towards providing automatic data annotations/analysis and format conversions as broadly usable internet resources. Brown Dog aims to facilitate scientific "data wrangling", providing services and tools to aid in the curation, accessing, and indexing of data as well as the preservation and reuse of scientific software that might be leveraged for that purpose. As Brown Dog extractors/converters, the capabilities of these tools will be preserved, will take part in an ecosystem of other extraction/conversion tools, and will be leverageable by others within the scientific community, perhaps in very different fields, as well as by the general public.
