This project, Brokered Alignment for Long-Tail Observations (BALTO), is supported under the EarthCube program. The development team seeks to build a tool and infrastructure to allow the community to easily submit long-tail observational data that cannot easily fit into existing data repositories. A data brokering technique will be developed to accomplish the goals of the study. Graduate students, including from underrepresented minority groups, will receive training opportunities via this project. To facilitate access to long-tail observations this work seeks to develop a core capability for the future EarthCube (EC) architecture in the Architecture and Implementation Plan - Brokered Alignment for Long-Tail Observations (BALTO). BALTO entails an open-source interface to discover, access and transform geoscience data sources through a brokering solution implemented by user-developed accessors. BALTO integrates core attributes of successful prior EC Building Blocks, BCube and ODSIP, to create a next generation EC capability. Leveraging its large installed base and its open-source flexibility, BALTO will extend Hyrax OPeNDAP's data server for ODSIP with capabilities for distributed brokering. Results from this project will demonstrate improved access and its impacts on scientific discovery via three NSF funded interdisciplinary use-cases that span geodesy, seismology, hydrology, oceanography, and geodynamics.

这个项目，经纪的长尾观测对准(BALTO)，得到了地球立方计划的支持。开发团队寻求建立一个工具和基础设施，使社区能够轻松提交无法轻松放入现有数据存储库中的长尾观测数据。将开发一种数据中介技术来实现研究的目标。研究生，包括来自代表人数不足的少数群体，将通过该项目获得培训机会。为了便利获得长尾观测，这项工作寻求在架构和实施计划中为未来的地球立方体(EC)架构发展一项核心能力--长尾观测(BALTO)的中间人对齐。Balto需要一个开源接口，通过由用户开发的访问器实施的中介解决方案来发现、访问和转换地球科学数据源。BALTO集成了以前成功的EC构建块、BCube和ODSIP的核心属性，以创建下一代EC功能。利用其庞大的安装基础和开放源码的灵活性，Balto将扩展Hyrax OPeNDAP用于ODSIP的数据服务器，使其具有分布式中介的能力。该项目的结果将通过美国国家科学基金会资助的三个跨学科使用案例展示改进的获取及其对科学发现的影响，这些案例横跨大地测量学、地震学、水文学、海洋学和地球动力学。
