This EAGER award promotes a new paradigm in the development of an integrative and interoperable data and knowledge management system for the geosciences for a new NSF initiative called EarthCube. Led by a team of experts from across the fields of geoscience, cyberinfrastructure, engineering, and computer science this project focuses on using a collaborative, as opposed to competitive, method to create community consensus on the most appropriate means to realize interoperability of databases containing disparate data types that are widely distributed among many large and small data repositories. To achieve this goal, the project will create registries of interoperable infrastructure components for information-sharing of geoscience data; define user requirements for such a system; and carry out proof-of-concept, cross-domain interoperability workflows using federated catalogs, cross-linked vocabularies, common data services, and shared model semantics. One of the unique aspects of this project is that the approach employed utilizes an inclusive, community-driven, collaborative approach. It also engages individuals from most of the major NSF-funded geoscience data facilities, creating a much needed forum to exchange tools, services, and best practices allowing for a better return on research money investment. Broader impacts of the project include a focus on engaging students and young researchers in cross-domain data-intensive research, the likelihood that impacts of the project will crossover to other science domains, and the fact that some core project members were from under-represented groups in science and engineering. An additional broader impact is an international component that engages UK scientists as members of the core project team.

这个EAGER奖促进了一个新的范例，在开发一个综合的和可互操作的数据和知识管理系统的地球科学的一个新的NSF倡议称为地球立方体。由来自地球科学，网络基础设施，工程和计算机科学领域的专家团队领导，该项目侧重于使用协作而不是竞争的方法来创建社区共识，以实现包含广泛分布在许多大型和小型数据存储库中的不同数据类型的数据库的互操作性。为了实现这一目标，该项目将创建用于地球科学数据信息共享的互操作基础设施组件的注册表;定义这样一个系统的用户需求;并使用联邦目录、交叉链接词汇表、公共数据服务和共享模型语义来执行概念验证、跨域互操作性工作流程。 该项目的一个独特之处是，所采用的方法采用了一种包容性的、社区驱动的协作方法。 它还吸引了来自大多数主要NSF资助的地球科学数据设施的个人，创建了一个急需的论坛，以交流工具，服务和最佳实践，从而使研究资金投资获得更好的回报。该项目更广泛的影响包括注重让学生和年轻研究人员参与跨领域数据密集型研究、该项目的影响交叉到其他科学领域的可能性，以及一些核心项目成员来自代表性不足的事实。科学和工程领域。 另一个更广泛的影响是一个国际组成部分，使英国科学家成为核心项目小组的成员。
