Collaborative Research: Integrated Arctic Data Management Services (IADS) to Support Arctic Research

智力价值：这是一项努力，以满足NSF北极研究界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国家科学基金会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将确保数据得到很好的记录，以保证保存和促进跨学科重复使用，并将通过不同的门户网站实现数据发现，包括用于发布调查员元数据和数据的IADS新门户网站、特别项目支持以及广大社区的访问。IAds将通过其支持服务和服务台功能，并通过使来自NSF项目的数据集与通过其他美国机构和其他国家的活动产生的数据相集成，来促进科学合成。IADS将解决北极环境变化研究(SEARCH)、北极观测网络(AON)和其他服务于不同利益相关者需求的努力产生的数据类型的复杂性。除了高级搜索和发现功能外，IADS还将包括重新格式化(重新投影网格数据、指向网格转换、选择以各种格式下载数据)、子集设置和可视化等服务。可视化服务将包括如何使用集成数据查看器、Google Earth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更广泛的影响。IAds将使其持有的数据可被发现和使用，促进科学合成，并促进机构间合作，这对实现搜索目标至关重要。通过讲习班和其他场所开展的活动和与搜索/人工智能网络领导层的协调，数据管理将提升为科学研究的一个组成部分。在工作组前往外地之前提供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可带到外地的软件工具。这些不同活动的回报将是更好的数据管理、服务和数据集成能力，使北极研究界在未来几年和几十年里受益。

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.
