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”，通过发现、访问和数据处理方面的数据/服务/产品互操作性促进跨学科地球科学研究，从而能够从多学科角度解决重大挑战地球科学问题，并促进现有 EarthCube 构建模块之间的互操作性和协作。该项目旨在通过集成多个现有 EarthCube 构建模块（特别是 BCube、CyberConnector、和弦和 GeoWS。 BCube 支持基于代理的数据发现。 Cyber​​Connector 通过开放地理空间标准统一了预处理、生产虚拟化、地理处理建模以及数据发现、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。 GeoWS 通过统一的 RESTful 接口提供了用于数据管理和分发的框架和基础设施。 其他构建块中的选定功能也将通过标准服务接口进行集成。将开发其他服务以满足特定地球科学用例的特定要求。

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.
