Expansion of Metadata Management, Visualization and Data Processing Functionality of OBIS-SEAMAP

这项建议被提交给国家海洋伙伴计划(NOPP)广泛机构公告10-024，题为“海洋哺乳动物探测和监测”，并被选中由国家海洋伙伴计划提供资金，以创建一个三级分层框架来处理和传播被动声监测(PAM)数据。PI将扩展OBIS-Seamap的功能，以实现更好的元数据管理、更容易地访问可用数据以及改进的可视化和处理工具。目前，从集中地点获取原始和经过处理的声学数据并不容易。由PI提出的OBIS-Seamap的扩展将为研究人员和管理人员提供工具来获取数据，并对其进行处理以获得有用的结果(例如，相对于海洋特征的动物位置地图，随时间变化的动物位置动画)。广泛的影响：这项研究的发展将使OBIS-USA、IOBIS和GBIF网络的用户受益。PI将组织一次技术研讨会，讨论如何利用被动声学专家的意见改进OBIS Seamap功能。由此产生的对OBIS Seamap的改进将公开可用，数据可视化方面的改进可用于研究和教育目的。

This Proposal was submitted to the National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) Broad Agency Announcement 10-024 titled "Marine Mammal Detection and Monitoring" and selected for funding by NSF.The PI's request funding to create a three-tiered hierarchical framework to process and disseminate passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) data. The PI's will expand the capabilities of OBIS-SEAMAP to allow better metadata management, easier access to available data, and improved visualization and processing tools. Currently the availability of raw and processed acoustic data is not easily accessible from a centralized location. The expansion of OBIS-SEAMAP proposed by the PI's would provide the tools for researchers and managers to obtain data, and process it to obtain usable results (e.g. maps of animal locations relative to oceanographic features, animations of animal locations over time).Broader Impacts: The developments from this study would benefit users of OBIS-USA, iOBIS and GBIF networks. A technical workshop will be organized by the PI's to discuss developing improvements in OBIS SEAMAP functions with input from passive acoustic experts. The resulting improvements to OBIS SEAMAP will become publicly available and the improvements in data visualizations can be used for both research and educational purposes.
