Research Vessels Portal

提案编号：0326802 PI：Ferris Webster机构：该项目将建立在现有的研究船时间表和规格数据库的基础上，创建一个研究船信息的在线门户网站。该门户网站将涵盖美国和国际研究船，提供有关其科学任务，时间表，设备和规格的信息。它将包括大学-国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）船队，UNOLS以外的美国船只和国际船只。该系统将向所有人开放，并将持续运作。 特拉华州大学海洋研究学院的海洋信息中心将支持联合国海洋法办事处的活动，使其信息技术基础设施和接口现代化，如下一代船期申请和调度系统。 与联合国毒品和犯罪问题办事处的联合开发将有助于查明和消除重复。 随着联合国后勤处办事处在各参与机构之间移动，联合国后勤处内容和硬件的现场开发和托管将为联合国后勤处的信息技术基础设施和数据提供一个集中地点。 本提案中的研究内容是制定创新程序，以提供信息并支持需要在巡航规划和时间安排方面得到帮助的用户。现有系统将增加的新内容包括开放和创新的在线工具，以便：o使感兴趣的研究人员和机构能够确定合作机会。o确定研究船正在作业的区域和正在进行的研究类型。o确定研究船活动在各科学学科中较高的地理热点

Proposal #: 0326802PI: Ferris WebsterInstitution: University of DelawareThis project will build on an existing research ship schedules and specifications database to create an online portal to information on research vessels. The portal will cover US and international research vessels with information on their science missions, schedules, equipment, and specifications. It will include the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) fleet, US vessels outside of UNOLS, and international vessels. The system will be open to all and will operate continuously. The Ocean Information Center (OCEANIC) at the University of Delaware's College of Marine Studies will support the UNOLS Office activities to modernize their information technology infrastructure and interfaces, such as a next-generation Ship Time Request and Scheduling system. Joint development with the UNOLS Office will help identify and eliminate duplication. Onsite development and hosting of UNOLS content and hardware will provide a centralized location for the UNOLS information technology infrastructure and data as the UNOLS office moves among participating institutions. The research element in this proposal is to develop innovative procedures for presenting information and supporting users needing assistance in cruise planning and scheduling. New elements to be added to the existing system include open and innovative online tools to: o Enable interested researchers and institutions to identify opportunities for collaboration. o Locate areas where research vessels are operating and the types of research being performed. o Determine geographic hot spots where research vessel activity is high for various scientific disciplines
