Sustainability: Open SciServer: A Sustainable Data-Driven Science Platform

数据驱动的研究对于加速解决重大社会需求、促进国家健康和确保全球战略竞争力所需的科学和工程至关重要。利用快速增长的数据资源的方法和思想也为社会带来了广泛的影响，包括数据资源获取的民主化和未来行业所需的多样化、熟练劳动力的发展。在其核心，现代数据驱动科学需要通用的分析平台，为协作科学团队提供强大，廉价和可扩展的工具，用于分析大型和各种数据集。Open SciServer项目将现有的SciServer平台迁移到一个可以被从社区学院到研究机构的研究项目使用、安装、管理和扩展的平台。该项目的一个核心目标是创建一条可持续发展的道路，这样数据提供商就可以依靠SciServer平台在未来对科学数据进行最新的、优化的使用和再利用。Open SciServer项目是SciServer协作数据驱动科学平台向可持续性的过渡。SciServer是一个由NSF资助开发的跨域平台，以交互和批处理模式提供服务器端数据分析和复杂科学工作流研究。剪刀服务器有一个完善的代码库；已建立的用户社区；并在天文学等不同领域对科学发现、研究和教育产生了影响；材料科学与工程；湍流;海洋学;精准医疗和基因组学。具体的Open server项目任务包括：代码库迁移到开源；创建开发人员级别的文档，允许修改和开发新服务；通过内置监控和指标增强管理功能；创建分层云部署选项。总之，这些发展可以很容易地作为一个科学平台来优化来自任何领域或项目的大型数据资源的使用。Open server还扩展并吸引用户社区收集输入并改进现有架构，以促进可持续发展。提供一个强大的开放科学平台，通过先进计算的民主化和对FAIR（可查找、可访问、可互操作、可重复）研究数据的访问来促进开放科学。该合同由先进网络基础设施办公室颁发，由计算机和信息科学与工程理事会的信息和智能系统司以及数学和物理科学理事会的天文科学司共同支持。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Data-driven research is central to the acceleration of science and engineering needed to address major societal needs, advance national health, and secure global strategic competitiveness. Methods and ideas to leverage rapidly growing data resources also provide broad impacts for society including democratization of access to data resources and development of the diverse, skilled workforce required by the industries of the future. At its core, modern data-driven science requires versatile analysis platforms that provide collaborative science teams powerful, inexpensive, and scalable tools for analysis of large and varied data sets. The Open SciServer project migrates the existing SciServer platform to one that can be used, installed, managed, and extended by research projects from community colleges to research institutions. A central goal of the project is creation of a path to sustainability so data providers can depend on the SciServer platform for up-to-date, optimized use and re-use of science data into the future. The Open SciServer project is a transition to sustainability for the SciServer collaborative data-driven science platform. SciServer is a cross-domain platform developed with NSF funding providing server-side data analysis and research with complex scientific workflows in interactive and batch mode. SciServer has a well-developed code base; an established user community; and demonstrated impact on scientific discovery, research, and education in fields as diverse as astronomy; materials science and engineering; turbulence; oceanography; and precision medicine and genomics. Specific Open SciServer project tasks include: codebase migration to open source; creation of developer-level documentation allowing modification and development of new services; enhancing administrative functions with built-in monitoring and metrics; and creation of tiered cloud-deployment options. Together these developments allow easy adoption as a science platform to optimize use of large data resources from any domain or project. Open SciServer also expands and engages the user community to gather input and refine existing architecture to facilitate sustainable development. Providing a powerful, open science platform promotes open science through democratization of advanced computing and access to FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reproducible) research data.This award by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure is jointly supported by the Information and Intelligent Systems Division within the Directorate for Computer and Information Sciences and Engineering and the Division of Astronomical Sciences within the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.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.
