SGER: Creating an Archive for the August 14, 2003 Northeast Blackout Data

这项建议是为了初步探索将停电调查小组收集的与2003年8月14日电力停电有关的技术和其他数据进行转换的努力。它将从目前的SQL关系数据库过渡到D-Space网络可访问的档案，学术界和其他人可以广泛访问。将这些数据从目前的形式转换到D-Space存档的目的是：a)可以根据图书馆标准对数据进行编目和存档；b)熟练管理信息的图书馆员可以管理馆藏；c)可以创建允许几个级别的访问的感兴趣社区；d)可以交换、存档基于数据创建的衍生材料，并以其他方式提供。智力价值：这个项目解决了如何设计一个档案馆以提供关于具有历史意义的事件的广泛可用的数据和其他信息的挑战。在设计和实施档案时，这可能会为电力行业团体之间的信息交换制定新的标准。更广泛的影响：如果不进行转换，数据将保留在新泽西州普林斯顿的北美电力可靠性委员会(NERC)目前的位置，研究人员和学生基本上无法获得。这些数据将提供一个独特的机会，特别是为学术界提供一个独特的机会，以便将这些数据用于课堂教学、新教科书中的插图、验证工作队的调查结果以及研究与改进未来电力系统的监测、控制和运行有关的新的调查领域。

This proposal is for an initial exploration of an effort to transition technical and other data collected by the blackout investigation team related to the electric power blackout of August 14, 2003. The transition will be from its present SQL relational database to a D-Space web-accessible archive that can be accessed widely by the academic community and others. The purpose of transitioning these data from its present form to a D-Space archive is so that a) The data can be cataloged and archived according to library standards b) Librarians skilled in managing information can manage the collection c) Communities of interest can be created that will allow several levels of access and d) Derivative material created based on the data can be exchanged, archived and otherwise made available. Intellectual Merit: This project addresses the challenge of how to design an archive to make widely available data and other information on an event of historic magnitude. In designing and implementing the archive, this may lead to new standards for information exchange among groups in the power industry. Broader Impact: Without the transition, the data will remain in its present location at the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) in Princeton, NJ and remain largely unavailable to the researchers and students. The data will provide a unique opportunity, especially for the academic community, to use the data for classroom teaching, for illustrations in new textbooks, for validating the findings of the task force and for performing research into new areas of inquiry associated with improving monitoring, control and operation of future electric systems.
