The mission of the Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA) is to provide data management and user support services to facilitate the collection, preservation, exchange, and use of local observations and knowledge of the Arctic. Collecting, documenting, preserving, and sharing knowledge is a cooperative endeavor, and there is an urgent need to manage Local and Traditional Knowledge so that: (1) the information is not lost, but rather protected and preserved; (2) the information is discoverable, and (3) the information has influence on environmental research, policy, and public awareness. Local and traditional knowledge and community-based observations are critical components of Arctic science, a comprehensive Arctic observing network, and informed management and policy. Numerous studies and operational projects clearly demonstrate the value of community data in understanding recent environmental, social, and cultural changes in the Arctic based on knowledge and observations that are not readily available through scientific methods. Examples of this knowledge are fine-scale observations of change from areas not monitored, and knowledge from areas that pre-date mapping and satellite records. ELOKA?s research and products result in lasting broader impacts, including making community data available to support research in a number of areas including social sciences, health research, environmental science, adaptation studies, and others and supporting environmental and wildlife management. The focus on user-friendly interfaces will allow the general public to easily access community data, increasing public knowledge and literacy of Arctic Indigenous peoples, science and the environment; one example are projects that support Indigenous language and cultural preservation and maintenance. Publications and the education and training activities will result in improved Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) training and education while supporting Indigenous peoples, an underrepresented minority in STEM. ELOKA has and will continue to focus on partnerships between academia and other sectors including Indigenous organizations and science and observing coordination bodies.In its fourth phase, ELOKA project will achieve three primary objectives in collaboration with researchers and Arctic Indigenous communities, including, (1) Provide and optimize core services, including advising on ethical community data management, documenting and publishing data, making data discoverable, further developing a data management platform that can be used to support many different applications, and preserving data over the long-term; (2) Build local capacity and leadership: Building on its network development activities, ELOKA will focus on knowledge exchange and capacity building to support communities, researchers, and other to play a larger role in populating and maintaining the system over time, and (3) Fully enable interoperability: Further develop a system that can interact with different data resources, across information and knowledge domains, and across key geographic scales. ELOKA fills a critical gap in Arctic science by providing support and infrastructure to community-based research projects that are often mandated to make data discoverable and accessible, but have limited options for support.

北极地方观测和知识交流中心的使命是提供数据管理和用户支持服务，以促进收集、保存、交流和使用北极地方观测和知识。收集、记录、保存和分享知识是一项合作奋进，迫切需要对地方和传统知识进行管理，以便：（1）信息不会丢失，而是得到保护和保存;（2）信息是可复制的;（3）信息对环境研究、政策和公众意识产生影响。地方和传统知识以及基于社区的观测是北极科学、北极综合观测网络以及知情管理和政策的关键组成部分。许多研究和业务项目清楚地表明，社区数据在了解北极最近的环境，社会和文化变化方面的价值，这些变化是基于知识和观察，而这些知识和观察并不容易通过科学方法获得。这种知识的例子包括对未监测地区变化的精细观测，以及在制图和卫星记录之前的地区的知识。卡？的研究和产品产生了持久的广泛影响，包括提供社区数据，以支持社会科学，健康研究，环境科学，适应研究等领域的研究，并支持环境和野生动物管理。对用户友好界面的关注将使公众能够方便地访问社区数据，增加公众对北极土著人民、科学和环境的了解和扫盲;一个例子是支持土著语言和文化保护和维护的项目。 出版物以及教育和培训活动将改善科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）培训和教育，同时支持土著人民，这是STEM中代表性不足的少数民族。在第四阶段，该项目将与研究人员和北极土著社区合作，实现三个主要目标，包括：（1）提供和优化核心服务，包括就社区数据伦理管理、记录和发布数据提供咨询，使数据具有可重复性，进一步开发可用于支持许多不同应用的数据管理平台，并长期保存数据;（2）建立当地能力和领导能力：在其网络发展活动的基础上，RISKKA将侧重于知识交流和能力建设，以支持社区，研究人员，和其他在填充和维护系统方面发挥更大作用，以及（3）充分实现互操作性：进一步开发一个可以与不同数据资源交互的系统，跨信息和知识领域，跨关键地理范围。北极科学基金会填补了北极科学的一个关键空白，为社区研究项目提供支持和基础设施，这些项目通常被要求使数据可检索和可访问，但支持的选择有限。
