This Division of Earth Sciences Geoinformatics collaborative award supports continued development of Neotoma, a web-accessible centralized data clearinghouse for paleoecological data for which initial development support was provided by the EAR Geoinformatics Program (EAR- 0948652). This effort will enhance the current Neotoma platform by: 1) maximizing rates of data ingest through on-going data mobilization campaigns, recruitment and training of new data stewards, and development of facilitation software; 2) expanding the Neotoma data model to facilitate new proxy acquisition and secondary data including organic biomarkers, isotopic data from faunal specimens, and faunal taphonomic information; 3) developing new tools for data visualization and scientific exploration; 4) fostering engagement and growth of the Neotoma research community through support for a series of workshops intended to train data users, data stewards, and teachers, and by development of an on-line blog.The Neotoma geoinformatics platform will promote integrative studies of the biotic impacts of climate change over the past five million years by allowing greater access to previously collected geoscience data sets of relevance and the tools to support analysis at marginal cost. The project will promote community engagement, support ease of data set ingestion, address PI team succession and promote educational module development. This award directly addresses OMB Memo M-13-13 ?Open Data Policy-Managing Information as an Asset.?***

该地球科学地理信息学合作奖支持继续开发Neotoma，这是一个可通过网络访问的古生态数据集中数据交换所，其最初的开发支持由地球科学委员会地理信息学计划提供（ESTA- 0948652）。 这一努力将通过以下方式加强目前的Neotoma平台：1）通过正在进行的数据动员活动，招募和培训新的数据管理员，以及开发促进软件，最大限度地提高数据摄取率; 2）扩展Neotoma数据模型，以促进新的代理获取和二级数据，包括有机生物标志物，来自动物标本的同位素数据和动物埋藏信息; 3）开发数据可视化和科学探索的新工具; 4）通过支持一系列旨在培训数据用户、数据管理员和教师的研讨会，促进Neotoma研究社区的参与和发展，通过开发一种Neotoma地理信息学平台将促进对过去500万年来气候变化的生物影响的综合研究，相关的地球科学数据集和以边际成本支持分析的工具。 该项目将促进社区参与，支持数据集摄取的便利性，解决PI团队的继承问题，并促进教育模块的开发。 这个奖项直接解决管理和预算局备忘录M-13-13？开放数据政策-将信息作为资产管理。？*
