A Next-Generation Integrated Data Management System for Ridge2000 and MARGINS

摘要0623861(瑞安)学术成就：这项工作继续为NSF Ridge200和边际计划开发和运行单一的综合数据管理系统。工作涉及设计协议，以检索和摄取来自边缘和山脊社区所针对的重点地点内过去和现在的海锣探险的元数据表和相关数据对象。它还涉及将元数据和所有相关数据对象上传到系统中。目前正在进行开发，以增加易用性和搜索的多功能性。可视化工具、改进的数据检索协议和附加功能也在开发中。这项工作的关键是与ODP和IODP数据库的集成，并为DSDP数据建立一个原型接口。喷口图像数据库的创建正在进行中，边缘和山脊焦点网站的所有数据将被打包，以便在Google Earth上查看。广泛影响：这项工作的主要影响是改善科学基础设施，使远洋科学家能够更容易地访问大型复杂数据库，并为他们提供搜索和可视化工具，使他们能够找到新的综合方式来查看和解释他们的数据。学生将参与数据库、界面开发和操作方面的培训。通过谷歌地球与数据的兼容性和数据的可获取性，预计将进行公众宣传。

ABSTRACT 0623861 (Ryan)Intellectual Merit: This work continues the development and operation of a single integrated Data Management Systems for the NSF RIDGE 200 and MARGINS Programs. Work involves designing protocols for the retrieval and ingestion of metadata tables and associated data objects from past and present sea-gong expeditions within focus sites targeted by the MARGINS and RIDGE communities. It also involves uploading metadata and all associated data objects into the system. Development is under way to increase the ease of use and search versatility. Visualization tools, improved data retrieval protocols, and additional functionality are also under development. Crucial to the effort is integration with the ODP and IODP databases and building a prototype interface for DSDP data. Creation of a vent image database is under way and all data for the MARGINS and RIDGE focus sites will be packaged so they can be viewed on Google Earth.Broader Impacts: This work's primary impact is improving the infrastructure for science and enabling sea-going scientists to have easier access to large complex databases and provide them with search and visualization tools to allow them to find new and integrative ways to view and interpret their data. Students will be involved and trained in the database and interface development and manipulation. Public outreach is anticipated through the compatibility with and accessibility of the data via Google Earth.
