Collaborative Research: Open Core Data: Transformative Data Infrastructure for Integrating and Accessing Scientific Drilling and Coring Data

科学钻探取芯对地球科学的发展至关重要。在陆地、海洋和极地地区，世界各地的钻探和取芯作业都投入了大量资源。通过确保钻井和取心项目产生的数据的最佳访问和重用性，这些投资的回报必须最大化。该项目名为开放式核心数据（OCD），是下一代数据管理方法，通过从根本上提高过去、当前和未来钻井和取心项目数据的可发现性、可获取性、可引用性、保存性和集成性，将大量现有和未来的地球科学数据用于新的创新科学用途。国际海洋发现计划和大陆科学钻探社区的研究目标提供了钻探和取芯有助于解决的科学主题广度的令人印象深刻的例子，从深层生物圈和海底的性质，到了解环境变化，物种进化，断裂带动力学，岩浆作用和构造，等等。因此，强迫症带来的科学潜力是巨大的，预计将影响许多地球科学领域。OCD将形成一个联邦数据基础设施的核心，通过促进大陆和海洋数据的综合研究，支持全新的科学方法和调查线。OCD将与NSF数据政策保持一致，提供对所有科学钻井数据的开放访问。通过这一努力，研究和将数据转移到档案以供永久保管的过程都将得到简化和精简。Open Core Data将以最佳方式构建和集成科学钻井数据，以实现数据驱动的科学，从而解决目前在发现、访问和格式方面面临的与数据异质性相关的重大障碍。开放核心数据将使在其工作流程中利用科学钻探和取芯的地球科学领域更接近实现其数据的全部潜力，并在新的研究中做出自己独特的新贡献，从而造福科学和社会。

Scientific drilling and coring is crucial for the advancement of the Earth Sciences. Vastresources have been invested in drilling and coring operations around the world: on land,in the oceans, and in the polar regions. The return of these investments must be maximizedby ensuring optimal access and re-usability of the data generated through drilling and coringprojects.This project, Open Core Data (OCD), is a next-generation approach to data management that willopen vast stores of existing and future geoscience data to new and innovative scientific use byradically improving discoverability, accessibility, citability, preservation, and integrationof data from past, current, and future drilling and coring projects.Research objectives of the International Ocean Discovery Program and ContinentalScientific Drilling communities provide impressive examples of the breadth of scientificthemes that drilling and coring helps address, ranging from the nature of the deep biosphereand oceanic sub-seafloor, to understanding environmental change, species evolution, faultzone dynamics, magmatism, and tectonics, among many others. The scientific potential enabledby OCD is therefore large and expected to impact many geoscience domains. OCD will form thenucleus of a federated data infrastructure that will support entirely new scientific approachesand lines of inquiry by facilitating integration of continental and marine data for synthesisstudies.OCD will align with NSF data policies to provide open access to all scientific drilling data.Both research and the process of transferring data to archives for permanent curation willbe simplified and streamlined through this effort. Open Core Data will structure and integratescientific drilling data optimally to enable data-driven science that faces substantial barriersat present related to data heterogeneity in discovery, access, and formats. Open Core Datawill enable geoscience domains that utilize scientific drilling and coring in their workflowsto come closer to realizing the full potential of their data, and to make their own uniquenew contributions that benefit science and society as new research is enabled.
