ABSTRACTARC 0632345AONThis project addresses a gap in data management for Arctic research - the urgent need for effective and appropriate means of recording, storing, and managing data and information being collected in Arctic communities. Local and traditional knowledge (LTK) research and community-based monitoring efforts are on the rise, but to date there has been very little done to coordinate these projects or the information they have collected. The Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA) seeks to fill this gap by supporting community-based research with accessible and useable data management that can allow findings to be shared more broadly, while still keeping control of data in local hands. Specifically, ELOKA proposes to provide data management and user support to facilitate the collection, preservation, exchange, and use of local observations and knowledge of the Arctic. To build ELOKA, researchers, community organizations, data management specialists, web specialists, and Arctic residents will work together. ELOKA will be developed in collaboration with four pilot projects representing different regions and cultures, different priorities and goals, different topics and locations of study, and different types of data. All of the pilot projects share a focus on community-based research in the North and a common interest and need for data management and networking capability. Working closely with these projects and using their expertise, experiences, and data, we will build the core of ELOKA which includes: (a) a secure place for existing and future LTK and community-based projects to store their data in a way that is searchable and accessible to a diverse community of users while assuring protection of sensitive data; (b) a portal to finding data, information, and resources about Arctic LTK and community-based projects; and (c) developing best practices and standards in data stewardship for community-based observations.

该项目解决了北极研究数据管理方面的一个空白——迫切需要有效和适当的记录、存储和管理北极社区收集的数据和信息的手段。地方和传统知识（LTK）研究和基于社区的监测工作正在增加，但迄今为止，在协调这些项目或它们收集的信息方面所做的工作很少。北极地方观测和知识交流（ELOKA）旨在通过支持基于社区的研究，提供可访问和可用的数据管理，从而填补这一空白，从而使研究结果能够更广泛地共享，同时仍将数据控制在当地手中。具体来说，ELOKA提议提供数据管理和用户支持，以促进北极当地观测和知识的收集、保存、交换和使用。为了建立ELOKA，研究人员、社区组织、数据管理专家、网络专家和北极居民将共同努力。ELOKA将与四个试点项目合作开发，这些试点项目代表不同的地区和文化、不同的优先事项和目标、不同的主题和研究地点以及不同类型的数据。所有试点项目都把重点放在北方以社区为基础的研究以及对数据管理和联网能力的共同兴趣和需求上。我们将与这些项目密切合作，利用他们的专业知识、经验和数据，构建ELOKA的核心，其中包括：(a)为现有和未来的LTK和基于社区的项目提供一个安全的地方，以一种可搜索和可访问的方式存储他们的数据，同时确保对敏感数据的保护；(b)查找有关北极LTK和社区项目的数据、信息和资源的门户；(c)制定以社区为基础的观测数据管理的最佳做法和标准。
