HydroShare is an online, collaborative system for open sharing of hydrologic data, analytical tools, and models.  It supports the sharing of and collaboration around “resources” which are defined by standardized content types for data formats and models commonly used in hydrology.  These include time series, geographic grids and shapes, multidimensional space-time data as well as models and model instances. This poster illustrates the HydroShare collaborative environment and web based services developed to support the sharing and processing of hydrologic data and models.  With HydroShare you can: Share your data and models with colleagues; Manage who has access to the content that you share; Share, access, visualize and manipulate a broad set of hydrologic data types and models; Use the web services application programming interface (API) to program automated and client access; Publish data and models and obtain a citable digital object identifier (DOI); Aggregate your resources into collections; Discover and access data and models published by others; Use web apps to visualize, analyze and run models on data in HydroShare.  The capability to assign DOIs to HydroShare resources means that they are permanently citable helping researchers who share their data get credit for the data published.  Models, and Model Instances, which in HydroShare are a model application to a specific site with its input and output data can also receive DOI's.  Collections allow multiple resources from a study to be aggregated together providing a comprehensive archival record of the research outcomes, supporting transparency and reproducibility, thereby enhancing trust in the findings.  Reuse to support additional research is also enabled.  HydroShare supports web apps to act on resources for cloud (server) based visualization and analysis, including large scale geographic and digital elevation model analysis at the CyberGIS center at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and execution of SWAT and RHESSys models.
