INTEROP - Geoscience Information Network

提供资金以组装关键模块并采用标准和协议，以建立一个已有强大社区参与和广泛共识的可互操作的国家地球科学信息网(GIN)。正在为加强全球地理空间数据的互操作性而在国家和国际社区的背景下制定全球地理空间数据网络。在一个由国家科学基金会赞助的研讨会上，国家地质调查局同意开发一个分布式、可互操作的国家地球科学信息网络(GIN)，使用开放源码标准和公共协议，尊重和承认数据所有权，促进实践社区的发展，并促进新的网络服务和客户端的开发。据估计，地质调查有2 000 3 000个数据库，这些数据库是美国最大的长期地质信息资源之一，共同构成了国家地球科学研究和应用的数据骨干。该项目将落实讲习班的建议，通过开发技术组成部分，将其纳入工作网络，并积极连接地质调查和基于学术的数据库和服务/工具，来实现社区愿景，以展示专家组的适用性、可伸缩性和转移能力。

Funds are provided to assemble key modules and adopt standards and protocols to build an interoperable national Geoscience Information Network (GIN) that already has strong community engagement and broad consensus. The GIN is being developed in the context of national and international communities for enhanced global geospatial data interoperability. In an NSF-sponsored workshop, the nation's geological surveys agreed to the development of a national Geoscience Information Network (GIN) that is distributed, interoperable, uses open source standards and common protocols, respects and acknowledges data ownership, fosters communities of practice to grow, and facilitates development of new web services and clients. Geological surveys have an estimated 2,000 3,000 databases that represent one of the largest, long-term information resources on the geology of the United States and collectively constitute a national geoscience data backbone for research and applications. This project will implement workshop recommendations to achieve the community vision by developing technical components, integrating them into a working network, and actively link geological survey and academic-based databases and services/tools to demonstrate the applicability, scalability, and transference capacity of the GIN.
