EIA-0131912Beard-Tisdale, Mary-KateUniversity of MaineBDEI: Event and process tagging for information integration for the International Gulf of Maine WatershedProject SummaryThis incubation proposal addresses the issue of integrating large, diverse, and autonomouscollections of scientific data within a complex institutional setting. The goal is to convert theseautonomous collections into a shareable repository that supports synthesis of data through newmetadata structures based on events and processes. The institutional setting is the data and data-gathering activities of over 80 agencies, NGOS, and academic and research institutions operatingwithin the Gulf of Maine watershed. The metadata development will be coordinated by library andspatial information scientists working jointly with domain scientists. An essential task of thisincubation effort will be the development of a shared understanding of environmental processes andevents that becomes a shareable ontology.Libraries play a vital role in organizing intellectual access to creative works. Scientific data hastended to be outside this traditional purview and has thus lacked the benefits of cataloging andindexing that promote shared access. We are proposing a new metadata structure that exploitscommon units of analysis in environmental studies: events and processes. Associating scientific datasets with event and process tags, in addition to other metadata elements, can substantially improvethe ability to integrate and synthesize diverse scientific collections. The metadata initiative of thisproposal will lay the foundation for specifying events and processes through the collaboration ofdata collections content specialists and information management specialists.

ei -0131912 beard - tisdale， mary - kate缅因大学dei：缅因湾国际流域项目信息整合的事件和过程标记摘要本孵化提案解决了在复杂的机构设置中整合大量、多样和自主的科学数据收集的问题。目标是将这些自治集合转换为可共享的存储库，该存储库支持通过基于事件和流程的新元数据结构合成数据。机构设置是在缅因湾流域内运作的80多个机构、非政府组织、学术和研究机构的数据和数据收集活动。元数据的开发将由图书馆和空间信息科学家与领域科学家共同协调。这种孵化工作的一项基本任务将是发展对环境过程和事件的共同理解，从而形成可共享的本体。图书馆在组织知识分子获取创造性作品方面发挥着至关重要的作用。科学数据很快就超出了这一传统范围，因此缺乏促进共享访问的编目和索引的好处。我们提出了一种新的元数据结构，它利用了环境研究中常见的分析单元：事件和过程。将科学数据集与事件和过程标签以及其他元数据元素相关联，可以大大提高集成和综合各种科学集合的能力。该提案的元数据计划将通过数据收集、内容专家和信息管理专家的协作，为指定事件和过程奠定基础。
