EarthCube Integration: CyberWay--Integrated Capabilities of EarthCube Building Blocks for Facilitating Cyber-based Innovative Way of Interdisciplinary Geoscience Studies

这个NSF EarthCube项目被称为“CyberWay”，通过数据/服务/产品在发现、访问和数据处理方面的互操作性，促进了跨学科地球科学研究，使从多学科角度解决重大挑战地球科学问题成为可能，并促进了现有EarthCube构建块之间的互操作性和协作。该项目旨在通过整合多个现有EarthCube构建模块（特别是BCube、CyberConnector、CHORDS和GeoWS）的功能和系统，构建一个名为“CyberWay”的系统系统。BCube支持基于代理的数据发现。CyberConnector通过开放的地理空间标准统一了预处理、生产虚拟化、地理处理建模、数据发现、访问和互操作性。CHORDS将小型仪器和传感器实时连接到互联网上。GeoWS通过统一的RESTful接口为数据管理和分发提供了框架和基础设施。从其他构建块中选择的功能也将通过标准服务接口集成。将开发额外的服务，以满足特定地球科学用例的特定需求。

This NSF EarthCube project, termed "CyberWay," facilitates interdisciplinary geoscience research with data/service/product interoperability in discovery, access, and data processing, enabling the work on grand challenge geoscience questions from a multidisciplinary perspective, and fostering interoperability and collaboration across existing EarthCube building blocks.This project seeks to build a system of systems, named "CyberWay," through integrating the capabilities and systems of multiple existing EarthCube building blocks, particularly BCube, CyberConnector, CHORDS, and GeoWS. BCube enables broker-based data discovery. CyberConnector unifies pre-processing, production virtualization, geoprocessing modeling, and data discovery, access, and interoperability through open geospatial standards. CHORDS connects small instruments and sensors to the Internet in real time. GeoWS provides a framework and infrastructure for data management and distribution with unified RESTful interfaces. Selected capabilities from other building blocks will be also integrated through standard service interfaces. Additional services will be developed to meet specific requirements identified for particular geoscience use cases.
