Award: 0956010PI: Mark ParsonsProject Title: Community-based Data Interoperability (INTEROP)International Network of Arctic Knowledge (INAK)Rapid Arctic change has critical implications for global climate, biodiversity, geopolitics, international transportation, and local society. To understand and respond to this change and its implications, it is necessary to understand the Arctic as a system. The International Polar Year (IPY) was a huge international effort to improve our interdisciplinary understanding of the Arctic and Polar Regions, how they are changing, and their impact on the Earth system and human society. IPY produced a large, diverse array of data that increases the challenge of interdisciplinary data discovery and use. The data is enriched, but the challenge is increased, by the explicit inclusion of social science research and local and traditional knowledge of the Arctic. Yet, IPY and the rapid change in the Arctic have generated considerable international resolve and formal collaboration that can be harnessed to improve the semantic understanding and interoperability of Arctic data.NSIDC, working with domain and community-building experts at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and elsewhere, use the opportunity of IPY and the developing Polar Information Commons to improve the knowledge and interoperability of sea ice and related Arctic data through the extension and enhancement of an international data management network. Through focused workshops and broad community interaction, a formal, sea-ice ontology, and an expansive interdisciplinary knowledge framework for the Arctic are developed. Proven and maturing semantic web methodologies and ontology creation tools, including visual tools like concept maps, are used to develop the underlying infrastructure. The support and ongoing evolution of this infrastructure relies on the engagement of the people and communities who use, enhance, and maintain that infrastructure?the INAK. The need for interdisciplinary understanding of the Arctic system (driven by the profound changes in the Arctic) motivates the network, and the occasion of the IPY provides a unique opportunity and mechanism to develop the network, but ultimately, the network is sustained when members see how their network activities benefit their immediate scientific and practical science needs. The project engages the diverse Arctic community, including Arctic residents and indigenous people, to contribute to and use the INAK. Ultimately, the ontologies go beyond direct data user needs and grow the INAK and Arctic semantic insights into the future.

奖项：0956010 PI：Mark Parsons项目名称：基于社区的数据互操作性（INTEROP）国际北极知识网络（INAK）北极的快速变化对全球气候、生物多样性、地缘政治、国际交通和当地社会产生了重要影响。为了理解和应对这一变化及其影响，有必要将北极作为一个系统来理解。国际极地年（IPY）是一项巨大的国际努力，旨在提高我们对北极和极地地区的跨学科理解，它们是如何变化的，以及它们对地球系统和人类社会的影响。IPY产生了大量多样化的数据，增加了跨学科数据发现和使用的挑战。明确纳入社会科学研究以及北极的地方和传统知识，丰富了数据，但也增加了挑战。然而，国际极地年和北极地区的快速变化已经产生了相当大的国际决心和正式合作，可以利用这些决心和合作来改善北极数据的语义理解和互操作性。利用国际极地年和正在发展的极地信息共享空间的机会，通过扩大和加强国际数据管理网络。通过重点研讨会和广泛的社区互动，一个正式的，海冰本体论，并为北极扩展跨学科的知识框架。成熟的语义网方法和本体创建工具，包括可视化工具，如概念图，用于开发底层基础设施。这种基础设施的支持和持续发展依赖于使用、增强和维护该基础设施的人员和社区的参与？INAK。对北极系统进行跨学科理解的需求（由北极的深刻变化驱动）推动了该网络的发展，国际极地年的到来为发展该网络提供了一个独特的机会和机制，但最终，当成员看到他们的网络活动如何有利于他们的直接科学和实际科学需求时，该网络才得以维持。该项目吸引了北极地区的不同社区，包括北极居民和土著人民，为INAK做出贡献并使用INAK。最终，本体超越了直接的数据用户需求，并将INAK和Arctic语义洞察扩展到未来。
