IPY: Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA)

本项目解决了北极研究数据管理中的一个空白--迫切需要有效和适当的方法来记录、存储和管理北极社区收集的数据和信息。地方和传统知识研究和社区监测工作正在增加，但迄今为止，在协调这些项目或它们收集的信息方面做得很少。 北极地方观测和知识交流中心（北极观测知识交流中心）寻求填补这一空白，通过可访问和可用的数据管理支持基于社区的研究，使研究结果能够更广泛地共享，同时仍然保持对数据的控制。 具体而言，北极研究所建议提供数据管理和用户支持，以促进收集、保存、交流和使用北极的当地观测和知识。 为了建立北极圈，研究人员、社区组织、数据管理专家、网络专家和北极居民将共同努力。 ELOKA将与代表不同地区和文化、不同优先事项和目标、不同主题和研究地点以及不同类型数据的四个试点项目合作开发。 所有试点项目都侧重于北方的社区研究，并对数据管理和联网能力有着共同的兴趣和需要。我们将与这些项目密切合作，并利用他们的专业知识、经验和数据，建立一个安全的地方，让现有和未来的LTK和基于社区的项目以一种可供不同社区用户搜索和访问的方式存储数据，同时确保敏感数据得到保护;（B）一个门户网站，用于查找有关北极长期传统知识和社区项目的数据、信息和资源;（c）为社区观测制定数据管理方面的最佳做法和标准。

ABSTRACTARC 0632345AONThis project addresses a gap in data management for Arctic research - the urgent need for effective and appropriate means of recording, storing, and managing data and information being collected in Arctic communities. Local and traditional knowledge (LTK) research and community-based monitoring efforts are on the rise, but to date there has been very little done to coordinate these projects or the information they have collected. The Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA) seeks to fill this gap by supporting community-based research with accessible and useable data management that can allow findings to be shared more broadly, while still keeping control of data in local hands. Specifically, ELOKA proposes to provide data management and user support to facilitate the collection, preservation, exchange, and use of local observations and knowledge of the Arctic. To build ELOKA, researchers, community organizations, data management specialists, web specialists, and Arctic residents will work together. ELOKA will be developed in collaboration with four pilot projects representing different regions and cultures, different priorities and goals, different topics and locations of study, and different types of data. All of the pilot projects share a focus on community-based research in the North and a common interest and need for data management and networking capability. Working closely with these projects and using their expertise, experiences, and data, we will build the core of ELOKA which includes: (a) a secure place for existing and future LTK and community-based projects to store their data in a way that is searchable and accessible to a diverse community of users while assuring protection of sensitive data; (b) a portal to finding data, information, and resources about Arctic LTK and community-based projects; and (c) developing best practices and standards in data stewardship for community-based observations.
