Managing our urban, subsurface spaces for sustainable and disaster resilient transportation and utility use is hampered by the absence of a central repository for relevant data and of computer systems that enable the simultaneous viewing of such data. Presently, there are major problems associated with the collection, integration, and visualization of subsurface data. These cross the spectrum from (1) cultural and legal issues, with respect to who owns that data and who is liable, if it is not correct, to (2) security concerns, to (3) the highly technical issues involved in having fully compatible data types and data systems that can accommodate intensely varied data related to natural geology and hydrology, as well as that of constructed infrastructure. Without such data resources, the next generation of urban infrastructure will not benefit from the wide range of emerging technologies that have the potential to make American cities safer, more affordable, and more resilient to natural and manmade disasters. To this end, this award will pair a wide range of scientists and engineers from academe and industry with governmental officials, big data specialists, data standards organizations, and community groups for a two-day workshop in New York City to help give voice to the individual needs of each of these groups of stakeholder. The first day will be open to the public and will accommodate as many as 200 participants including local area veterans and students from underserved communities. The second day will focus on crafting a document to promote a common understanding of the problems and challenges surrounding comprehensive subsurface documentation of America's cities. Both an artist and a science writer have been engaged to create dissemination vehicles that will help ensure that the workshop's outcomes will be fully understandable to the general public.Urban subsurfaces are hotly contested spaces essential for the majority of urban system infrastructure including water, sewer, gas, steam, electric, telecommunications, and transit (road and rail), as well as hosting building foundations, basements, and parking garages. Yet, the subsurface is not only under-documented, but what documentation exists is typically held in siloed systems and populated by incompatible or non-computer readable data. This phenomenon of poor data documentation and integration in the intensively used subsurface represents a significant barrier to creating truly sustainable urban systems (SUS), both because these "invisible" assets are vulnerable to floods, subsidence, digging accidents, and failures of degradation and neglect and because the subsurface environment is not zoned akin to aboveground spaces. Pioneering new SUSs solutions will require a full appreciation of both existing systems and their surrounding constraints - built and natural. This demands achieving seamless, interoperable, three-dimensional data storage, visualization, and asset management systems. While not market ready, such technology does exist, though not in the form of a Building Information Model (BIM) approach, which is typically used for individual structures, or in the form of CityGML (commonly used for aboveground, city-scale representation). In fact, not only is there is not a widely agreed upon or even dominant approach for documenting the subsurface, there are now more than two dozen related (and arguably competing) initiatives. Some consider only constructed objects such as gas utilities. Others include only geological or hydrological factors. Some are strongly focused on compatibility with existing standards and undertakings, while others cover only application-specific support for a single industry or legacy system. Ultimately, if there are to be fundamental advances in the design and long-term stewardship of SUS, as well as a larger understanding of the development, zoning, and management of subsurface urban spaces, including the emerging area of geothermal heat pump systems, such piecemeal approaches to documentation and data access will have to be overcome. This includes addressing real concerns about both security and liability, as many of the barriers are based in policy and precedence. Importantly, to date there has not been a forum in which US-based engineering organizations, designers, and contractors interface with the asset stakeholders, stewards, and first responders. The DIG Around workshop will be the first such event to facilitate this dialogue. The two-day workshop begins with a full day event open to the public and concludes with a day-long opportunity for experts in the field and leading stakeholders to draft strategies and recommendations for transforming the disparate state of play into a more cohesive vision. As part of this (1) areas of alignment and gaps in existing subsurface data management paradigms and standards will be identified; (2) a broader understanding of the challenges and opportunities (scientific, technological, and policy-based) for effective subsurface data sharing will be forged; and (3) critical scientific gaps in the support of developing new SUS will be identified with input from an unprecedented diversity of stakeholders from first responders, critical governmental agencies, profession standards organization, domain-based professional societies, community organizations, utility companies, and researchers. Community accessible workshop outcomes will be developed by a writer and artist in order to help urban stakeholders at all levels of engagement and expertise to understand this crucial issue. Finally, this workshop will provide the first forum for leaders in the geotechnical community representing the Geo-institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the DIGGS effort, and other undertakings to formally interface with other organizations developing relevant standards (e.g. Open Geospatial Consortium).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

由于缺少中央存储库来管理我们的城市，地下空间以进行可持续和灾难弹性运输和实用性使用，从而阻碍了相关数据和计算机系统的中央存储库，从而使能够同时查看此类数据。 目前，与地下数据的集合，集成和可视化相关的主要问题。 这些跨越（1）文化和法律问题，就谁拥有该数据，如果没有正确的话，对（2）安全问题负有责任，到（3）具有完全兼容的数据类型和数据系统所涉及的高度技术问题，这些问题和数据系统可以适应与自然地理学和水文以及构造基金的巨大多样化数据相关的多样化数据。 没有这样的数据资源，下一代城市基础设施将无法从各种新兴技术中受益，这些技术有可能使美国城市更安全，更实惠，并且对自然和人造灾难更具弹性。 为此，该奖项将使来自学术界和行业的各种科学家和工程师与政府官员，大数据专家，数据标准组织和社区团体一起在纽约市举行的为期两天的研讨会，以帮助表达这些利益相关者群体的个人需求。 第一天将向公众开放，并将容纳多达200名参与者，包括当地退伍军人和服务不足社区的学生。 第二天将着重于制定文件，以促进对美国城市全面地下文档的问题和挑战的共同理解。 一位艺术家和科学作家都已经敬业来创建传播车辆，这将有助于确保公众的成果完全可以理解为公众。城市子图是对大多数城市系统基础设施至关重要的竞争性空间，包括水，下水道，天然气，蒸汽，蒸汽，电动机，电气，电信和运输及其建立，以及建立及其构建，以及建立及其构建，以及构建及其构建，以及建立的构建，以及构建的构建。 但是，地下不仅有据可查，而且通常存在于孤立的系统中，并由不兼容或非计算机可读数据填充。 在强烈使用的地下中，这种差的数据文档和集成不良的现象代表了创建真正可持续的城市系统（SUS）的重大障碍，这既是因为这些“无形”资产容易遭受洪水，沉降，沉降，挖掘事故以及降级和疏忽和疏忽和疏忽和疏忽和疏忽的失败，并且因为地下环境不是地下环境的地面空间，因此地下环境不适合地面。 开拓新的Suss解决方案将需要对现有系统及其周围限制（建造和自然）的全面表示赞赏。 这需要实现无缝，可互操作，三维数据存储，可视化和资产管理系统。 尽管没有准备好市场，但确实存在这种技术，尽管不是以建筑信息模型（BIM）的形式，该方法通常用于单个结构或以CityGML的形式（通常用于地上，城市规模代表）。 实际上，不仅没有广泛的商定或什至是占主导地位的方法来记录地下，而且现在有超过二十个相关（可以说是竞争的）计划。有些人仅考虑构造的对象，例如天然气公用事业。 其他仅包括地质或水文因素。有些人强烈专注于与现有标准和承诺的兼容性，而另一些则仅涵盖针对单个行业或传统系统的专用支持。 最终，如果在SUS的设计和长期管理方面有基本的进步，以及对地下城市空间的开发，分区和管理的更大了解，包括地热泵系统的新兴领域，则必须克服这些零星的文档和数据访问方法。 这包括解决对安全和责任的真正问题，因为许多障碍都基于政策和优先权。 重要的是，迄今为止，还没有一个论坛，在该论坛中，总部位于美国的工程组织，设计师和承包商与资产利益相关者，管家和第一响应者的互动。 在研讨会周围的挖掘将是第一个促进这种对话的事件。 为期两天的研讨会以向公众开放的全日活动开始，并为该领域的专家提供了为期一天的机会，并带领利益相关者起草了将不同的发挥状态转变为更加凝聚力的策略和建议。 作为此（1）的一部分，将确定现有地下数据管理范式和标准中的对齐和差距的区域； （2）将对有效地下数据共享的挑战和机遇（基于科学，技术和政策）的挑战和机遇（基于科学，技术和政策）进行更广泛的了解； （3）将通过急救人员，关键的政府机构，职业标准组织，基于领域的专业社会，社区组织，公用事业公司和研究人员的意见多样性的意见来确定支持开发新SUS的关键科学差距。 为了帮助城市利益相关者的各个参与和专业知识以了解这一关键问题，将由作家和艺术家开发社区可访问的研讨会成果。 Finally, this workshop will provide the first forum for leaders in the geotechnical community representing the Geo-institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the DIGGS effort, and other undertakings to formally interface with other organizations developing relevant standards (e.g. Open Geospatial Consortium).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review 标准。
