Community-Enabled Data Discovery, Access, Publishing, and Enhancement: Enabling an Information Commons

该项目将开发一个联邦和社区支持的数据共享、发现和增强方法的工作原型。它将基于几种新的和不断发展的开源技术来实现，这些技术允许跨多个搜索协议和约定进行发现，并不断向用户通报数据可用性和数据和服务增强方面的相关变化。这项工作将有助于降低数据发布、注释和增强的障碍，同时保持正式档案提供的权威和遗产信息。该项目为极地科学提供的尖端技术原型——数据和服务cast、OpenSearch服务和wave启用的元数据——应该协同工作，提供一个整体解决方案，其效果大于各部分之和。交互式（Wave）技术可以显著提高对用户查询的响应能力，并减少提供商参与数据集接入和分发的障碍。就更广泛的影响而言，这个原型具有变革性而不仅仅是进化性的潜力，它改变了数据提供者、数据中心和用户的思维方式。聚合服务器、数据和服务铸造以及wave技术代表了协作技术的新趋势，使信息的用户和分发者能够更容易地共享他们的工作，而不必担心失去对数据的控制。通过与极地信息共享的联系，该项目有可能在全球范围内传播所展示的概念，并为ICSU开发世界数据系统提供信息。

This project will develop a working prototype of a federated and community-enabled approach to data sharing, discovery, and enhancement. It will be implemented based on several new and evolving open source technologies that allow discovery across multiple search protocols and conventions and continually inform users of relevant changes in data availability and data and service enhancements. This work will help lower barriers to data publishing, annotation, and enhancement while maintaining the authority and heritage information provided by formal archives. The cutting edge technologies to be prototyped by this program for the polar sciences - data and service casts, OpenSearch services, and Wave-enabled metadata - should work synergistically to provide an overall solution that is greater than the sum of its parts. Interactive (Wave) technologies that can significantly increase responsiveness to user queries and decrease the barriers to provider participation in data set accession and distribution will be employed. In terms of broader impacts, this prototype has the potential to be transformative and not just evolutionary, changing the mindset of the data provider, data center, and user. The aggregation server, data and service casting, along with wave technologies represent new trends in collaborative technologies enabling both users and distributors of information to more easily share their work with less concern over loss of control of their data. Through connections to the Polar Information Commons, this project has the potential to globally distribute the concepts demonstrated and to inform ICSU's development of a World Data System.
