The objective of the project is to develop a comprehensive, integrated data management system for the NSF-funded Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) program, called CZOData. The overall goal for CZOData is to support, empower, and broaden the impact of CZO science and maximize the return on investment of the CZO program by transforming capabilities to easily share, integrate, analyze and preserve the wide range of multi-disciplinary data generated within and across CZOs. The CZOData design is based on the experience of the collaborative project team in building the current CZOData prototype and on other foundational cyber-infrastructure systems. The principal investigators at the University of Boulder and the Stroud Water Research Center are Earth surface scientists who provided high-level oversight of the CZOData prototype and provide a direct link to the scientific community collecting and using CZO data. Team members at San Diego Supercomputing Center (SDSC) and Utah State University (USU) are primary developers of the Hydrological Information System (HIS) developed by the Consortium for the Advancement of Hydrological Sciences, Inc. (CUAHSI). Team members at Columbia University developed and lead the Integrated Earth Data Applications (IEDA), Geoinformatics for Geochemistry (GfG), EarthChem and the System for Earth Sample Registration (SESAR) projects. Team members at the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington developed and maintain the Northwest Association for Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS) Visualization System (NVS). This project combines state-of-the-art computer science and cyber-infrastructure technologies and international metadata standards with a strong effort to engage the science community in the process of developing and testing the CZOData system. This collaborative, community-based approach to developing scientific cyber-infrastructure has been actively encouraged by the NSF-supported EarthCube initiative and thus complements those goals (http://www.nsf.gov/geo/earthcube/). The approach with CZOData is based on integrating site-based data with system capabilities' such as consistent data publication, cataloguing, discovery and access infrastructure. These new capabilities will strongly leverage other CI efforts described above. The resulting system will support new CZO research that was not possible before while easing the data management burden on CZO scientists.The vision is that the proposed CZOData will serve as a model for the greater Earth surface science community. The CZOData project is a collaborative, community-guided cyber-infrastructure project for integrating multi-disciplinary data and providing interoperability with other systems. Thus, CZOData will inform the development of other large geoinformatics initiatives, such a the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC), Long-Term Environmental Research (LTER) observatories, DataOne, OpenTopography, the Implementing Organization of the International Geosample Number (IGSN e.v.), and the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). Also, by incorporating system research and development with graduate education, we will move towards cultivating a new generation of researchers skilled in both different facets of environmental research and in advanced information management and computing.

该项目的目标是为 NSF 资助的关键区域观测站 (CZO) 项目开发一个全面、集成的数据管理系统，称为 CZOData。 CZOData 的总体目标是支持、增强和扩大 CZO 科学的影响，并通过转变能力以轻松共享、集成、分析和保存 CZO 内部和跨 CZO 生成的广泛多学科数据，最大限度地提高 CZO 项目的投资回报。 CZOData 的设计基于协作项目团队在构建当前 CZOData 原型和其他基础网络基础设施系统方面的经验。 博尔德大学和斯特劳德沃特研究中心的主要研究人员是地球表面科学家，他们对 CZOData 原型进行了高层监督，并为收集和使用 CZO 数据的科学界提供了直接联系。 圣地亚哥超级计算中心 (SDSC) 和犹他州立大学 (USU) 的团队成员是水文科学促进联盟 (CUAHSI) 开发的水文信息系统 (HIS) 的主要开发人员。 哥伦比亚大学的团队成员开发并领导了综合地球数据应用 (IEDA)、地球化学地理信息学 (GfG)、EarthChem 和地球样本登记系统 (SESAR) 项目。 华盛顿大学应用物理实验室的团队成员开发并维护西北海洋观测系统协会 (NANOOS) 可视化系统 (NVS)。 该项目结合了最先进的计算机科学和网络基础设施技术以及国际元数据标准，并大力吸引科学界参与 CZOData 系统的开发和测试过程。 NSF 支持的 EarthCube 计划积极鼓励这种基于社区的协作方法来开发科学网络基础设施，从而补充了这些目标 (http://www.nsf.gov/geo/earthcube/)。 CZOData 的方法基于将基于站点的数据与系统功能（例如一致的数据发布、编目、发现和访问基础设施）集成。这些新功能将有力地利用上述其他 CI 工作。由此产生的系统将支持以前不可能实现的新 CZO 研究，同时减轻 CZO 科学家的数据管理负担。我们的愿景是，拟议的 CZOData 将成为更大的地球表面科学界的模型。 CZOData 项目是一个协作的、社区引导的网络基础设施项目，用于集成多学科数据并提供与其他系统的互操作性。因此，CZOData 将为其他大型地理信息学计划的发展提供信息，例如开放地理空间联盟 (OGC)、长期环境研究 (LTER) 观测站、DataOne、OpenTopography、国际地理样本编号实施组织 (IGSN e.v.) 和综合海洋观测系统 (IOOS)。此外，通过将系统研究和开发与研究生教育相结合，我们将致力于培养新一代的研究人员，他们既精通环境研究的不同方面，又精通先进的信息管理和计算。
