为了在机构之间存在数字墙的情况下有效地传播与位置相关的信息，本研究开发了一款名为GeoFairy2的跨机构移动应用程序，以克服多源数据集之间的虚拟差距，并帮助普通用户做出彻底、准确的现场决策。该应用程序提供一站式服务，提供相关信息，帮助做出即时决策。经测试和证明，它能够按需耦合，并从多个来源提供基于位置的信息。该应用程序可以帮助普通用户打破信息池之间的数字墙，并成为所有信息的一站式检索场所。对GeoFairy2进行了试验，以收集有关作物、土壤、水和气候的实时和历史信息。GeoFairy2不是一个单向的数据门户，而是允许普通用户提交照片和观测，以支持公民科学项目并获得新的见解，并进一步完善未来的服务。双向机制使GeoFairy2成为一个有用的移动门户，可以访问和促进快速增长的、异质的、多源的和与位置相关的数据集，并为推动我们进入一个跨数据提供商和机构的链接更多、数字墙更少的新移动网络铺平了道路。
To effectively disseminate location-linked information despite the existence of digital walls across institutions, this study developed a cross-institution mobile App, named GeoFairy2, to overcome the virtual gaps among multi-source datasets and aid the general users to make thorough accurate in-situ decisions. The app provides a one-stop service with relevant information to assist with instant decision making. It was tested and proven to be capable of on-demand coupling and delivering location-based information from multiple sources. The app can help general users to crack down the digital walls among information pools and serve as a one-stop retrieval place for all information. GeoFairy2 was experimented with to gather real-time and historical information about crops, soil, water, and climate. Instead of a one-way data portal, GeoFairy2 allows general users to submit photos and observations to support citizen science projects and derive new insights, and further refine the future service. The two-directional mechanism makes GeoFairy2 a useful mobile gateway to access and contribute to the rapidly growing, heterogeneous, multisource, and location-linked datasets, and pave a way to drive us into a new mobile web with more links and less digital walls across data providers and institutions.
