Bering Ecosystem Study Data Management

资金用于处理最初现场收集的数据，通过质量控制并进入2007年多学科白令海生态系统研究（BEST）现场活动的档案。这样一个过程对BEST的成功至关重要。这项活动将提高最佳调查人员分析和整合其数据的能力，并有助于长期保存这种多样化和独特信息的丰富性。PI建议完成以下数据管理任务，以支持2007 BEST活动：与项目负责人协调制定best的全面数据管理计划和数据政策。为项目活动的数据阅读、访问和文件编制提供工具。这些工具将包括EOL（地球观测实验室）数据和元数据存档和分发系统（EMDAC），以及2007年BEST巡航期间USCGC Healy上的在线现场目录。为best的社会科学组件提供数据访问和存档服务，包括定制的GIS地图服务器应用程序。该应用程序将提供一个交互式地图，其中包含数据链接和其他基于尼尔森岛站点位置的信息。从参与2007年巡航的项目pi收集初步和最终数据集，作为EOL的临时档案。一旦收集，所有最终数据集和附带的元数据将被存放到适当的长期存档中心。收集和归档其他船上仪器的补充数据。

Moore 0714605Funds are provided for the handling of data from initial field collection, through quality control and into an archive for the 2007 field activities of the multidisciplinary Bering Sea Ecosystem Study (BEST). Such a process is essential for the success of BEST. This activity will enhance the ability of the BEST investigators to analyze and integrate their data and serve to preserve the richness of this diverse and unique information in the long-term. The PI proposes to complete the following data management tasks in support of 2007 BEST activities:1. Coordinate with the PIs in developing a comprehensive data management plan and data policy for BEST.2. Provide tools for data perusal, access and documentation of project activities.These tools will include the EOL (Earth Observing Laboratory) data and metadata archival and distribution system (EMDAC), and an on-line field catalog onboard the USCGC Healy during the 2007 BEST cruise.3. Provide data access and archival services for the social science component ofBEST, including a customized GIS mapserver application. This applicationwill provide an interactive map with links to data and other information basedinitially on Nelson Island site locations.4. Collect preliminary and final datasets from project PIs participating in the2007 cruise for interim archival at EOL. Once collected, all final datasets andaccompanying metadata will be staged to the appropriate long-term archivecenter.5. Collect and archive supplementary data from other shipboard instruments.
