Intellectual Merit: This is an effort to address the growing and increasingly diverse data management needs of the NSF arctic research community. Core activities of an Integrated Arctic Data Management Services (IADS) will include identifying and cataloging all data produced by NSF arctic investigators and providing assistance and tools to meet requirements to publish data and associated metadata. IADS will ensure that data are well documented to guarantee preservation and to promote interdisciplinary reuse, and it will enable data discovery through diverse portals, including a new IADS portal for publishing investigator metadata and data, special project support, and access by the broad community. IADS will foster scientific synthesis through its support services and help-desk functions, and by enabling integration of datasets stemming from NSF projects with data generated through activities of other U.S. agencies and other countries. The IADS will tackle the complexity of data types emerging from the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH), the Arctic Observing Network (AON) and other efforts to serve diverse stakeholder needs. Along with advanced search and discovery capabilities, the IADS will include services such as reformatting (re-projection of gridded data, point to grid conversions, options to download data in a variety of formats), subsetting and visualization. Visualization services will include demos and instructions on how to use Integrated Data Viewer, Google Earth and other tools. Broader Impacts: The core operation of this activity represents broader impacts. IADS will make its data holdings discoverable and usable, promote scientific synthesis and foster interagency collaboration crucial to meeting SEARCH objectives. Through activities and coordination with SEARCH/AON leadership via workshops and other venues, data management will be elevated to an integral part of scientific research. Support of groups before they go to the field will include metadata education, instruction on how to organize a data set before publishing, and provision of software tools to take to the field. The rewards of these various activities will be better data stewardship, services and data integration capabilities to benefit the arctic research community in coming years and decades.

智力优势：这是一项努力，以满足NSF北极研究社区日益增长和日益多样化的数据管理需求。北极综合数据管理服务（IADS）的核心活动将包括识别和编目NSF北极调查人员产生的所有数据，并提供援助和工具，以满足发布数据和相关元数据的要求。IADS将确保数据得到妥善记录，以保证保存和促进跨学科的再利用，它将通过各种门户网站，包括一个新的IADS门户网站，用于发布调查员元数据和数据，提供特别项目支助，并供广大社区使用，来发现数据。IADS将通过其支持服务和服务台功能促进科学综合，并使NSF项目产生的数据集与其他美国机构和其他国家的活动产生的数据相结合。IADS将解决北极环境变化研究（SEARCH）、北极观测网络（AON）和其他努力中出现的数据类型的复杂性，以满足不同利益相关者的需求。沿着高级搜索和发现能力，IADS将包括诸如重新格式化（网格数据的重新投影、点到网格的转换、以各种格式下载数据的选项）、子集化和可视化等服务。可视化服务将包括如何使用集成数据查看器，谷歌地球和其他工具的演示和说明。更广泛的影响：这项活动的核心业务代表着更广泛的影响。IADS将使其所掌握的数据具有可重复性和可用性，促进科学综合，并促进机构间合作，这对实现可持续发展目标至关重要。通过研讨会和其他场所与科学研究所/AON领导层的活动和协调，数据管理将被提升为科学研究的一个组成部分。在各小组前往实地之前，对他们的支助将包括元数据教育、关于如何在出版前组织数据集的指导，以及提供软件工具以便带到实地。这些活动的回报将是更好的数据管理、服务和数据集成能力，在未来几年和几十年内造福北极研究界。
