Intellectual Merit: This project implements Phase II of the creation of an on online digital data collection (SedDB) that archives, manages, and makes accessible geochemical data of sediments in a new, user-friendly way. It allows users to create customized data sets that integrate data from any number of publications and unpublished sources. SedDB provides efficient access to NSF-funded datasets that are of fundamental interest to many fields in the Geosciences associated with Earth history, tectonics, the atmosphere, life, and climate; thereby maximizing the utility of these data. Through its interface and linking with data visualization products, SedDB allows researchers to easily discover, access, and analyze data, integrate it with other data types, and develop new cross-disciplinary approaches to important scientific questions. Goals for Phase II are to expand the data holdings through continued data compilation from the literature and addition of new focus sites, to implement user-friendly data submission procedures for investigators, and to develop authentication procedures that will allow users to add and integrate their unpublished data with restricted access. Linking and collaborating with other database and Geoinformatics world-wide are a priority in order to take advantage of synergies, insure the broadest possible access to data holdings, and contribute to the development of global data networks. Broader Impacts: This project primarily builds crucial infrastructure in the geosciences. Outreach and education activities such as short courses and workshops will be conducted to advance use of the system, seek buy-in and feedback from potential user communities with the goal to integrate SedDB into research and education, and identify and respond to community needs and concerns. Students at both the graduate and undergraduate level will be trained in geoinformatics.

智力优点：该项目实施了创建在线数字数据收集（SedDB）的第二阶段，该收集以一种新的、用户友好的方式归档、管理和提供沉积物的地球化学数据。 它允许用户创建定制的数据集，集成来自任意数量的出版物和未发布来源的数据。 SedDB 提供对 NSF 资助的数据集的高效访问，这些数据集对与地球历史、构造、大气、生命和气候相关的地球科学许多领域具有根本意义；从而最大化这些数据的效用。 通过其界面以及与数据可视化产品的链接，SedDB 使研究人员能够轻松发现、访问和分析数据，将其与其他数据类型集成，并针对重要的科学问题开发新的跨学科方法。第二阶段的目标是通过持续从文献中收集数据并添加新的焦点站点来扩大数据持有量，为调查人员实施用户友好的数据提交程序，并开发身份验证程序，允许用户添加和集成其未发布的数据并限制访问。 与世界各地其他数据库和地理信息学的链接和协作是一个优先事项，以便利用协同效应，确保尽可能广泛地访问数据，并为全球数据网络的发展做出贡献。更广泛的影响：该项目主要建设地球科学领域的重要基础设施。 将开展短期课程和研讨会等外展和教育活动，以推进该系统的使用，寻求潜在用户社区的支持和反馈，目标是将 SedDB 纳入研究和教育，并确定和回应社区的需求和关切。 研究生和本科生都将接受地理信息学培训。
