Understanding how quickly environmental reactions take place is the goal of EarthKin, ageochemical database focusing on the rates of geochemical reactions. EarthKinscientists from University of Maine, Penn State, Columbia, and Saint Francis Universitywill compile existing reaction rates into a one-stop database that will allow access toresearchers working on a diverse range of projects ranging from removing carbondioxide from the atmosphere and permanently storing it beneath the ground to cleaningup contaminated environmental sites. When completed EarthKin will be available toscientists free via the web at www.earthchem.org. Not only will we compile existingdata, but we will also encourage new researchers to become involved by uploading theirnew results into the database.Recent advances in geoinformatics (the subdiscipline of developing technologicaland computation tools to facilitate information dissemination in the geosciences) havedrastically increased access that researchers have to geological information. Manyrecent endeavors have focused on online publishing of large data sets in order to makedata available to the wider community. EarthKin is especially interesting in that it is oneof the first attempts to include experimental data in a web-based data managementplatform. To do this, we will need to build new tools and data structures that will allowthe existing EarthChem platform to incorporate a new type of data.

了解环境反应发生的速度是EarthKin的目标，该数据库专注于地球化学反应的速率。来自缅因州大学、宾夕法尼亚州立大学、哥伦比亚大学和圣弗朗西斯大学的地球科学家将把现有的反应速率汇编成一个一站式数据库，使从事各种项目的研究人员能够访问，从从大气中去除二氧化碳并将其永久储存在地下，到清洁受污染的环境地点。完成后，科学家们将可以通过www.Earth Chem.org网站免费获得EarthKin。我们不仅将汇编现有的数据，而且还将鼓励新的研究人员参与进来，将他们的新成果上传到数据库中。地球信息学(开发技术和计算工具以促进地球科学中的信息传播的分支学科)最近的进展大大增加了研究人员获得地质信息的机会。最近的许多努力都集中在大型数据集的在线发布上，以便向更广泛的社区提供数据。EarthKin特别有趣，因为它是将实验数据纳入基于网络的数据管理平台的首批尝试之一。要做到这一点，我们需要构建新的工具和数据结构，使现有的EarthChem平台能够合并一种新类型的数据。
