EarthCube Building Blocks: Community Inventory of EarthCube Resources for Geoscience Interoperability(CINERGI) Collaborating Institutions: University of California San Diego, Arizona GeologicalSurvey, University of Chicago, Columbia University, The Open Geospatial Consortium This buildingblock project focuses on constructing a community inventory and knowledgebase on geoscienceinformation resources to extend work on interoperability-readiness and meet the challenge of finding resources acrossdisciplines, assessing their fitness for use in specific research scenarios, and providingtools for integrating and re-using data from multiple domains. This capability is a key EarthCubemission mentioned in reports of several EarthCube domain workshops and roadmaps. We envisiona comprehensive system linking geoscience resources, users, publications, usage information,and cyberinfrastructure (CI) components. It will supplement information included in existingdata discovery catalogs by integrating feedback from users on their experience with resources,by providing characterization of resources in an interoperability assessment framework, andby supporting registration of mappings between information models and vocabularies to assistdata integration. To assess interoperability among components an open source validation mechanismwill be implemented. The system will enable community input and access by geoscientists viaonline user interfaces, and will provide documented web service APIs so that inventory informationcan be easily browsed, analyzed, and integrated within the emerging EarthCube CI. The projectteam will collaborate with related EarthCube efforts, including Building Blocks, RCNs, domainworkshop and the Test Enterprise Governance. The PIs will work with researchers from selected geoscience domains(stratigraphy, hydrology, critical zone science) to validate and demonstrate advanced featuresof CINERGI in specific research context.CINERGI is a direct response to the communitys need for easy discovery, assessment, and utilizationof CI resources, expressed by many EarthCube stakeholders. It is a fundamental building blockof an Earth Science CI and will serve geoscientists across all domains to efficiently andin more informed manner use existing and emerging resources for productive and transformativeresearch. It will also help CI experts and computer scientists to align new developments betterwith existing resources such as vocabularies, ontologies, data exchange protocols, or metadataschemas.

EarthCube积木：地球科学互操作性EarthCube资源社区清单（CINERGI）合作机构：加州大学圣地亚哥分校，亚利桑那州地质调查局，芝加哥大学，哥伦比亚大学，开放地理空间联盟这个积木项目的重点是构建一个社区清单和知识库的地球科学信息资源，以扩大工作的互操作性准备和满足挑战，寻找资源的跨学科，评估它们在特定研究场景中的适用性，并提供整合和重用多个领域数据的工具。这一能力是EarthCube的一项关键技术，在几个EarthCube领域研讨会和路线图的报告中提到。我们设想了一个综合的系统，连接地球科学资源，用户，出版物，使用信息和网络基础设施（CI）组件。它将通过整合用户对资源体验的反馈，通过在互操作性评估框架中提供资源特征，以及通过支持信息模型和词汇表之间的映射注册来辅助数据集成，来补充现有数据发现目录中包含的信息。为了评估组件之间的互操作性，将实施一种开源验证机制。该系统将使地球科学家通过在线用户界面进行社区输入和访问，并将提供有文档记录的网络服务API，以便库存信息可以很容易地浏览，分析和集成在新兴的EarthCube CI中。项目团队将与相关的EarthCube工作合作，包括构建块，RCN，domainworkshop和测试企业治理。该PI将与来自选定的地球科学领域（地层学，水文学，临界区科学）的研究人员合作，以验证和展示CINERGI在特定研究背景下的先进功能。CINERGI是对社区需要轻松发现，评估和利用CI资源的直接回应，许多EarthCube利益相关者表示。它是地球科学CI的基本组成部分，将服务于所有领域的地球科学家，以更有效和更明智的方式使用现有和新兴的资源进行生产和转化研究。它还将帮助CI专家和计算机科学家更好地将新的开发与现有资源（如词汇表、本体、数据交换协议或元数据表）结合起来。
