Developing a Community Information Model and Supporting Software to Extend Interoperability of Sensor and Sample Based Earth Observations

1224638 Horsburg这一地理信息学计划拨款支持一个为期两年的项目，开发社区信息模型和相关软件，以实现基于网络的地球观测互操作性，这些地球观测来自传感器和样本，这些传感器和样本跨越了多个社区的离散数据和信息学倡议。 该系统将针对具体的现有网络服务数据储存库，以展示信息模型如何能够支持在多个数据发布系统中联合地球观测数据。 具体资料库包括促进水文科学大学联合会。（CUAHSI）水文信息系统（HIS）、EarthChem、临界区观测站（CZO）综合数据管理系统（CZOData）、综合海洋观测系统（IOOS）和地球数据观测网络（DataONE）。 该计划要求与这些项目的相关PI合作（通过子支持），通过构建用于以通用格式描述、编码和发布数据的本体来改进这些数据和相关元数据的捕获、共享和存档，以实现互操作性。 该计划包括举办社区讲习班，让利益攸关方和学生参与模型的设计。 该模型将采用开放地理空间联盟标准和特定领域标记语言，纳入数据描述和发布的国际标准。 希望这些成果将直接纳入更大的EarthCube网络基础设施倡议。 ***

1224638HorsburghThis EAR Geoinformatics Program grant supports a two year project to develop a community information model and related software to enable web based interoperability of earth observations derived from sensors and samples that span now discrete data and informatics initiatives for multiple communities. The system would target specific existing web service data repositories in order to demonstrate how the information model can support federation of earth observations data across multiple data publication systems. Specific repositories include the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) Hydrologic Information System (HIS), EarthChem, the Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) Integrated Data Management System (CZOData), the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) and the Data Observations Network for Earth (DataONE). The plan calls for collaboration with the related Pis of these projects (through subward support) to improve capture, sharing, and archival these data and associated metadata by building ontologies for describing, encoding and publishing data in common formats to allow interoperability. The plan involves community workshops to engage stakeholders and students in the design of the model. The model would incorporate international standards for data description and publishing utilizing Open Geospataial Consortium standards and domain specific markup languages. It is hoped that the results will feed directly into the larger EarthCube cyberinfrastructure initiative. ***
