Developing a Community Information Model and Supporting Software to Extend Interoperability of Sensor and Sample Based Earth Observations

1224638 horsburgh EAR地理信息学计划拨款支持一个为期两年的项目，开发一个社区信息模型和相关软件，以实现基于网络的地球观测的互操作性，这些观测来自传感器和样本，现在跨越多个社区的离散数据和信息学计划。该系统将以特定的现有web服务数据存储库为目标，以演示信息模型如何支持跨多个数据发布系统的地球观测数据联合。具体的存储库包括水文科学促进大学联盟（CUAHSI）水文信息系统（HIS）、EarthChem、关键带观测站（CZO）综合数据管理系统（CZOData）、综合海洋观测系统（IOOS）和地球数据观测网络（DataONE）。该计划要求与这些项目的相关pi进行协作（通过下级支持），通过构建用于以通用格式描述、编码和发布数据的本体来改进捕获、共享和归档这些数据和相关元数据，从而实现互操作性。该计划包括社区研讨会，让利益相关者和学生参与模型的设计。该模型将结合利用开放地理空间联盟标准和领域特定标记语言进行数据描述和发布的国际标准。研究结果有望直接用于更大的EarthCube网络基础设施计划。＊＊＊

1224638HorsburghThis EAR Geoinformatics Program grant supports a two year project to develop a community information model and related software to enable web based interoperability of earth observations derived from sensors and samples that span now discrete data and informatics initiatives for multiple communities. The system would target specific existing web service data repositories in order to demonstrate how the information model can support federation of earth observations data across multiple data publication systems. Specific repositories include the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) Hydrologic Information System (HIS), EarthChem, the Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) Integrated Data Management System (CZOData), the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) and the Data Observations Network for Earth (DataONE). The plan calls for collaboration with the related Pis of these projects (through subward support) to improve capture, sharing, and archival these data and associated metadata by building ontologies for describing, encoding and publishing data in common formats to allow interoperability. The plan involves community workshops to engage stakeholders and students in the design of the model. The model would incorporate international standards for data description and publishing utilizing Open Geospataial Consortium standards and domain specific markup languages. It is hoped that the results will feed directly into the larger EarthCube cyberinfrastructure initiative. ***
