EarthCube is a joint venture between the Directorate of Geosciences and the Office of Cyberinfrastructure at the National Science Foundation. It is a community-driven effort to design and implement an effective data and knowledge management system for the geosciences that will integrates disparate data sets and web services and serves all members of the geoscience community. This 2-day workshop at the University of Colorado brings together investigators and other interested parties who have been tasked with developing cyberinfrastructure components that are potential candidates for inclusion in the final architecture and design of EarthCube. Participants at the workshop will be tasked to synthesize community input from the June EarthCube meeting and sequence the series of proposed milestones and events included in community-created road maps of key cyberinfrastructure capabilities that were generated over the course of the last six months. The overarching goals of the workshop will be to propose a workable cyberinfrastructure framework for EarthCube and work out a provisional timeline for its implementation. Participants will consist of key individuals already working on potential EarthCube architecture components, as well as those from newly formed special interest groups such as those interesting in having EarthCube link to and incorporate biological datasets; those seeking to serve the needs of geoscientists who work with unique sample-based data, as opposed to large homogeneous datasets coming from sensor arrays; and those trying to develop software to allow direct ingestion of data from laboratory instruments. Broader impacts of the workshop lie in the area of building infrastructure for science and engineering.

EarthCube 是地球科学局和国家科学基金会网络基础设施办公室的合资企业。 这是一项社区驱动的工作，旨在为地球科学设计和实施有效的数据和知识管理系统，该系统将集成不同的数据集和网络服务，并为地球科学界的所有成员提供服务。 这个在科罗拉多大学举行的为期 2 天的研讨会汇集了研究人员和其他感兴趣的各方，他们的任务是开发网络基础设施组件，这些组件是包含在 EarthCube 最终架构和设计中的潜在候选者。研讨会参与者的任务是综合 6 月 EarthCube 会议的社区意见，并对过去六个月内生成的社区创建的关键网络基础设施能力路线图中包含的一系列拟议里程碑和活动进行排序。 研讨会的总体目标是为 EarthCube 提出一个可行的网络基础设施框架，并制定其实施的临时时间表。 参与者将包括已经在研究潜在的 EarthCube 架构组件的关键人物，以及来自新成立的特殊兴趣小组的人员，例如那些对将 EarthCube 链接到并合并生物数据集感兴趣的人；那些寻求满足地球科学家需求的人，他们使用基于独特样本的数据，而不是来自传感器阵列的大型同质数据集；以及那些试图开发软件以直接从实验室仪器获取数据的人。 研讨会更广泛的影响在于建设科学和工程基础设施领域。
