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

EIA-0075066库欣，朱迪思B.常绿州立大学POWRE：为树冠科学家整合信息资源生态和数据库研究社区的模型系统这项工作扩展了一个正在进行的项目，重点是为林冠科学家建立数据库设施进行研究，导致为生态学家和计算机科学家建立一个模型。这笔赠款将用于将为期6个月的休假延长为15个月的密集研究和开发经验。同时，将结合相关计算机科学研究，努力为新兴生态领域建立有效的社区数据库。PI还将探索使用面向访问和工作流的调解器，将元数据与数据集成、数据验证、数据转换、模式表示和使用XML的集成。重点将放在元数据获取和数据整合的空间转换上。

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.
