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.?***

地球科学部地理信息学合作奖支持Neotoma的持续发展，Neotoma是一个可访问网络的古生态数据集中数据交换中心，最初的开发支持是由EAR地理信息学计划（EAR- 0948652）提供的。这项工作将通过以下方式增强当前的Neotoma平台：1)通过持续的数据动员活动、新数据管理员的招聘和培训以及便利软件的开发，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次数据，包括有机生物标志物、动物标本同位素数据和动物分类信息；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，以及开发在线博客，促进Neotoma研究社区的参与和发展。Neotoma地理信息平台将促进过去500万年气候变化对生物影响的综合研究，允许更多地访问先前收集的相关地球科学数据集，并提供以边际成本支持分析的工具。该项目将促进社区参与，支持数据集的获取，解决PI团队的继承问题，并促进教育模块的开发。该奖项直接针对OMB备忘录M-13-13 ？开放数据政策——将信息作为资产进行管理。＊＊＊
