CIF21 DIBBs: Integrating Geospatial Capabilities into HUBzero

该项目将开发地理空间数据分析构件，作为HUBZERO科学协作平台的核心部分，使研究人员和教育工作者能够创建和共享地理空间数据集和建模工具。该项目将建立在由IT专家开发并经科学界验证的地理空间功能的基础上，并将这种能力带给大众，因此任何领域的科学家都可以开发和部署具有网络图形用户界面的地理空间应用程序。交付成果包括(1)用于管理和共享数据(包括地理空间数据)的“数据空间”的工具和网络服务接口，以及(2)扩展的RAPPTURE工具包API，以支持地理空间制图、图像处理、可视化和访问数据空间中的共享数据。在这个项目中开发的构建块软件将是开源的，作为HUBZO开源版本的一部分。

This project will develop geospatial data analysis building blocks as core part of the HUBzero Scientific Collaboration platform to enable researchers and educators to create and share geospatial data sets and modeling tools. The project will build upon geospatial capabilities that have been developed by IT experts and validated by the science community and bring such capabilities to the masses, hence any domain scientist can develop and deploy geospatial applications with graphical user interfaces on the web. The deliverables include (1) tools and web service interfaces of "data space" for managing and sharing data, including geospatial data, and (2) Extended RAPPTURE Toolkit APIs to support geospatial mapping, image processing, visualization, and access to shared data in the data space. The building blocks software developed in this project will be open source as part of the HUBzero open source releases.
