Community-Enabled Data Discovery, Access, Publishing, and Enhancement: Enabling an Information Commons

该项目将开发一个联合和社区支持的数据共享，发现和增强方法的工作原型。该系统将在若干新的和不断发展的开放源码技术的基础上实施，这些技术允许跨多种搜索协议和惯例进行发现，并不断向用户通报数据可用性的相关变化以及数据和服务的增强。这项工作将有助于降低数据发布、注释和增强的障碍，同时保持正式档案馆提供的权威和遗产信息。该计划将为极地科学原型化的尖端技术-数据和服务投射，OpenSearch服务和Wave支持的元数据-应该协同工作，以提供一个整体解决方案，其效果大于其部分的总和。将采用交互式（Wave）技术，这些技术可以大大提高对用户查询的响应能力，减少提供商参与数据集访问和分发的障碍。就更广泛的影响而言，这个原型有可能是变革性的，而不仅仅是进化性的，改变数据提供商、数据中心和用户的心态。聚合服务器、数据和服务投射以及波技术沿着代表了协作技术的新趋势，使得信息的用户和分发者能够更容易地共享他们的工作，而较少担心失去对他们的数据的控制。通过与极地信息共享空间的连接，该项目有可能在全球传播所展示的概念，并为科联理事会开发世界数据系统提供信息。

This project will develop a working prototype of a federated and community-enabled approach to data sharing, discovery, and enhancement. It will be implemented based on several new and evolving open source technologies that allow discovery across multiple search protocols and conventions and continually inform users of relevant changes in data availability and data and service enhancements. This work will help lower barriers to data publishing, annotation, and enhancement while maintaining the authority and heritage information provided by formal archives. The cutting edge technologies to be prototyped by this program for the polar sciences - data and service casts, OpenSearch services, and Wave-enabled metadata - should work synergistically to provide an overall solution that is greater than the sum of its parts. Interactive (Wave) technologies that can significantly increase responsiveness to user queries and decrease the barriers to provider participation in data set accession and distribution will be employed. In terms of broader impacts, this prototype has the potential to be transformative and not just evolutionary, changing the mindset of the data provider, data center, and user. The aggregation server, data and service casting, along with wave technologies represent new trends in collaborative technologies enabling both users and distributors of information to more easily share their work with less concern over loss of control of their data. Through connections to the Polar Information Commons, this project has the potential to globally distribute the concepts demonstrated and to inform ICSU's development of a World Data System.
