ITR/IM: Digital Government: Infrastructure for Data Sharing, Spatial Analysis, Resource Decision-Making, and Societal Impact: The Oregon Coastal Atlas

0113519 Oregon State University标题：ITR/IM：用于数据共享、空间分析、资源决策和社会影响的基础设施本项目的目标是解决公共资源管理者在海岸带固有的跨学科背景下有效利用特定学科数据的问题。最初，重点将放在俄勒冈海岸的当地用户身上。然而，这些技术有很大的潜力可以作为整个北美类似努力的一般模式，方法是开发一个互动的、可上网的信息管理系统，在一个共同框架内纳入各种地理空间数据和分析工具。该系统的开发包括终端用户培训和直接技术援助，以及确保系统寿命的后端系统维护工具。这将使沿海各级政府决策者、公众和研究科学家能够更容易地找到和使用相关的、及时的地理空间信息。通过这种方式，可以通过将社区扩展的基础设施扩展到公共办公室来提高沿海社区对沿海决策的普遍参与，否则公共办公室将面临获取IT服务和资源的困难。具体地说，将建立一个基于Web的数据共享库，具有集成的互联网地图绘制和工具构建能力，以提供资源管理者和科学家处理海岸带特点的跨学科主题问题所需的协调。基础设施的设计将使其在规模和受众方面都可以随着时间的推移而扩展，并鼓励更高级的参与者用户进行双向贡献。这些基础设施中的大部分将是通用的，对自然科学中许多跨学科研究领域有用。被称为俄勒冈海岸地图集(OCA)的基础设施将包括：1.一个基于网络的电子储存库，它不仅保存物理观测(传统数据)、文本、视频和图形，而且还将保存有关计算元素的信息(程序、模型、工具和计算处理脚本)；2.一套工具，促进新数据和元数据的输入以及支持的格式之间的转换；3.一种新的XML形式，称为海岸XML或CML，将改善数据归档结构和工具的可输出性。

EIA-0113519Dawn J. WrightOregon State UniversityTitle: ITR/IM: Infrastructure for Data Sharing, Spatial Analysis, Resource Decision-Making, and Societal ImpactThe goal of this project is to address the problems of the public resource manager in making effective use of discipline-specific data within the inherently interdisciplinary context of the coastal zone. Initially the focus will be on local users on the Oregon Coast. However, there is great potential that the technologies can serve as a general model for similar efforts throughout North America, by developing an interactive, Internet-accessible information management system that incorporates a variety of geospatial data and analysis tools within a common framework. End-user training and direct technical assistance are incorporated into the development of this system, as are back-end system maintenance tools to ensure system longevity. This will enable coastal decision-makers at all government levels, the public, and research scientists to more easily find and use relevant, timely geospatial information. In this way universal participation in coastal decision making among coastal communities can be improved by extending community-expanding infrastructure to public offices that would otherwise face difficulties accessing IT services and resources.Specifically, a web-based data sharing depot will be built, with integrated Internet mapping and tool building capabilities to provide the coordination that resource managers and scientists need to tackle the interdisciplinary topic-based issues characteristic of the coastal zone. The infrastructure will be designed so that it is scalable over time both in size and in audience and encouraging of 2-way contributions by more advanced participant users. Much of this infrastructure will be generic, of use to many areas of interdisciplinary research in the natural sciences. The infrastructure, called the Oregon Coastal Atlas (OCA) will include:1. A web-based electronic repository that will hold not only physical observations (traditional data),text, video and graphics, but also information about computational elements (programs, models, tools, and scripts for computational processing);2. A set of tools that facilitate the entry of new data and metadata as well as the transformation between supported formats; and 3. A new form of XML, called Coastal XML or CML, that will improve the exportability of data archive structures and tools.
