... LIGHTWEIGHT AND MODERN METALS MANUFACTURING INNOVATION INSTITUTE: IMPLICATIONS FOR MATERIALS, MANUFACTURING, AND DATA Julie Christodoulou, Director, Naval Materials Division, Office of Naval Research Dr. Christodoulou began her presentation by describing the Lightweight and Modern Metals Manufacturing Innovation Institute, known as the LM3I Institute (LM3II)

... There are historical reasons for this, he argued, not practical limitations, as data storage is now inexpensive and widely available. The obstacles that prevent data access include cultural mindset, lack of suitable storage locations, lack of data standards, and insufficient funding for managing data sets.

... Someone else pointed out that publishers are a good point of leverage in the academic community. In 2    he Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 amended patent and trademark law to permit universities and small T businesses to retain intellectual property rights to work conducted using federal funding (Public Law 96-517)

... He noted that it is fairly easy to come to a set of data standards for crystallography and CALPHAD, but other more complex data sets, such as three-dimensional data, will be more difficult. A participant voiced concern that materials research has a lot of associated information or metadata, including sample preparation, and tracking the amount of metadata associated with an individual sample may be onerous.
