Collaborative Research: ELOKA Phase III: Toward Sustainable Data Management Support for Community-Based Observations Contributing to the Arctic Observing Network

该项目建立在先前阶段的成功基础上，这些基础设施跨越学科界限，为用户提供访问社区数据的能力，并支持研究人员、从业者和知识持有者的环极网络。支持维持和增强 ELOKA 的三个目标： 1) 为参与社区研究的研究人员和组织提供核心数据管理服务； 2）协同增强现有的ELOKA技术平台，更好地支持社区数据的收集和共享； 3）确保社区数据持续且可互操作的长期保存系统。首先通过提供数据管理规划支持、开发社区数据网站以及托管基于社区的研究项目清单来实现目标。其次，通过在现有技术中添加先进的管理、地图和多媒体功能来增强 ELOKA 服务并增加所服务的项目数量。第三，通过建立通过数据保护（NSF 数据网项目）开发的可互操作的数据管理基础设施，长期保护社区数据的安全。 让 ELOKA 在北极研究领域持续存在将继续扩大北极居民对研究的参与，并将通过改善数据获取方式为社区外的研究人员和公众提供更多接触基于社区的研究的机会。 ELOKA 咨询委员会的成立确保社区观点成为维持和发展 ELOKA 的一个组成部分。

The project builds on the successes of prior phases that resulted in operational research data infrastructure that crosses disciplinary boundaries and provides users with the ability to access community data and supports a circumpolar network of researchers, practitioners, and knowledge holders. Three objectives support sustaining and enhancing ELOKA: 1) Provide core data management services to researchers and organizations involved in community-based research; 2) collaboratively enhance the existing ELOKA technology platform to better support collection and sharing of community data; 3) ensure a sustained and interoperable long-term preservation system for community data. Objectives are achieved first by providing data management planning support, developing community data Websites, and hosting an inventory of community-based research projects. Second, by adding advanced administrative, mapping, and multimedia functions to existing technology to enhance ELOKA services and increase the number of projects served. Third, by securing community data over the long-term by building on interoperable, data-curationinfrastructure developed through the Data Conservancy, an NSF DataNet project. Making ELOKA a sustained presence in the Arctic research landscape will continue to broaden the participation of Arctic residents in research, and will provide researchers outside of the community and the general public with greater exposure to community-based research through improved access to data. Establishment of the ELOKA Advisory Committee ensures that community perspectives are an integral part of sustaining and evolving ELOKA.
