POWRE: Integrating Information Resources for the Canopy Scientist a Model System for the Ecology and Database Research Community

库欣，朱迪斯b . .常青州立大学power：为森林冠层科学家整合信息资源——生态学和数据库研究界的模型系统这项工作扩展了一个正在进行的项目，该项目的重点是为森林冠层科学家建立数据库设施进行研究，从而为生态学家和计算机科学家建立一个模型。这笔拨款将用于将6个月的休假延长到15个月的密集研究和开发经验。同时，整合相关的计算机科学研究，努力为一个新兴的生态领域建立一个有效的社区智慧数据库。该项目还将探索面向访问和工作流的中介的使用，将元数据与数据、数据验证、数据转换、模式表示和XML集成在一起。重点将放在元数据获取和数据集成的空间转换上。

EIA-0075066Cushing, Judith B.Evergreen State CollegePOWRE: Integrating Information Resources for the Canopy Scientist a Model System for the Ecology and Database Research CommunityThis work extends an ongoing project that focuses on building database facilities for forest canopy scientists into research, leading towards a model for ecologists and computer scientists. The grant will be used to extend a six-month sabbatical into fifteen months of intensive research and development experience. Meanwhile, integrating relevant computer science research, efforts will be made to build an effective community-wise database for an emerging ecological field. The PI will also explore the use of access- and workflow-oriented mediators, integrating metadata with data, data validation, data transformation, schema representation and integration using XML. The focus will be on metadata acquisition and spatial transformations for data integration.
