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

科学钻探和取芯对地球科学的进步至关重要。大量的资源被投入到世界各地的钻探和取芯作业中：在陆地、海洋和极地。这些投资的回报必须最大化，确保最佳的访问和重复使用的数据产生的钻井和取芯项目。这个项目，开放核心数据（OCD），是下一代的数据管理方法，将开放大量的现有和未来的地球科学数据存储，以新的和创新的科学用途，从根本上提高可重复性，可访问性，可引用性，保存和整合数据从过去，国际海洋发现计划和大陆科学钻探团体的研究目标提供了令人印象深刻的例子，说明钻探和取芯有助于解决的科学主题的广度，从深海生物圈和海洋海底的性质到了解环境变化、物种进化、断层带动力学、岩浆作用和构造等。因此，强迫症的科学潜力是巨大的，预计将影响许多地球科学领域。OCD将形成一个联合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路线。OCD将与NSF数据政策保持一致，以开放访问所有科学钻探数据。通过这一努力，研究和将数据转移到档案馆进行永久管理的过程都将得到简化和精简。Open Core Data将以最佳方式构建和整合科学钻探数据，以实现数据驱动的科学，这些科学面临着与发现，访问和格式中的数据异质性有关的重大障碍。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，并在新的研究得以实现时做出自己独特的新贡献，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 will open vast stores of existing and future geoscience data to new and innovative scientific use by radically improving discoverability, accessibility, citability, preservation, and integration of 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.
