Advances in the HydroShare Community Platform Enabling the Integration of Water Data in Support of Hydrologic Research

HydroShare (www. hydroshare. org) is a hydrology-domain specific data and model repository operated by the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science Inc.(CUAHSI). HydroShare's goal is to advance hydrologic science by enabling researchers to more easily share data, model and workflow products resulting from their research, creating and supporting reproducibility of the results reported in scientific publications. It supports the growing call for open data that is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). HydroShare is comprised of two sets of functionalities:(1) a repository for users to share and publish data and models, collectively referred to as resources, in a variety of formats, and (2) web application tools that can act on content in HydroShare for computational and visual analysis. Together these serve as a platform for collaboration and gateway for computation that …
