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来促进跨学科的地球科学研究，从多学科的角度实现重大挑战地球科学问题的工作，并促进现有EarthCube构建模块之间的互操作性和协作。“通过集成多个现有EarthCube构建块的功能和系统，特别是BCube，CyberConnector，CHORDS和GeoWS。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、可重构建模以及数据发现、访问和互操作性。 CHORDS将小型仪器和传感器真实的连接到互联网。GeoWS为数据管理和分发提供了一个框架和基础设施，具有统一的RESTful接口。 还将通过标准服务接口整合来自其他构件的选定能力。将开发更多的服务，以满足为特定地球科学用例确定的具体要求。

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.
