Expansion of Metadata Management, Visualization and Data Processing Functionality of OBIS-SEAMAP

该提案已提交给国家海洋合作计划（NOPP）广泛机构公告10-024，标题为“海洋哺乳动物检测和监测”，并被NSF选中资助。PI申请资金用于创建一个三层分层框架，以处理和传播被动声学监测（PAM）数据。PI将扩展OBIS-SEAMAP的功能，以实现更好的元数据管理，更容易地访问可用数据，并改进可视化和处理工具。目前，从一个集中的位置获取原始和处理过的声学数据并不容易。PI提出的OBIS-SEAMAP扩展方案将为研究人员和管理人员提供获取数据和处理数据的工具，以获得可用的结果（例如，动物位置相对于海洋学特征的地图，动物位置随时间变化的动画）。更广泛的影响：这项研究的发展将使OBIS-USA、obis和GBIF网络的用户受益。PI将组织一个技术研讨会，讨论在被动声学专家的投入下开发OBIS SEAMAP功能的改进。OBIS SEAMAP的改进结果将公开，数据可视化方面的改进可用于研究和教育目的。

This Proposal was submitted to the National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) Broad Agency Announcement 10-024 titled "Marine Mammal Detection and Monitoring" and selected for funding by NSF.The PI's request funding to create a three-tiered hierarchical framework to process and disseminate passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) data. The PI's will expand the capabilities of OBIS-SEAMAP to allow better metadata management, easier access to available data, and improved visualization and processing tools. Currently the availability of raw and processed acoustic data is not easily accessible from a centralized location. The expansion of OBIS-SEAMAP proposed by the PI's would provide the tools for researchers and managers to obtain data, and process it to obtain usable results (e.g. maps of animal locations relative to oceanographic features, animations of animal locations over time).Broader Impacts: The developments from this study would benefit users of OBIS-USA, iOBIS and GBIF networks. A technical workshop will be organized by the PI's to discuss developing improvements in OBIS SEAMAP functions with input from passive acoustic experts. The resulting improvements to OBIS SEAMAP will become publicly available and the improvements in data visualizations can be used for both research and educational purposes.
