Earth Cube Conceptual Design: Developing a Data-Oriented Human-centric Enterprise Architecture for EarthCube

这种EarthCube企业概念架构方法旨在开发一种数据驱动和以人为中心的EarthCube企业架构，以实现EarthCube作为社区驱动活动的目标，从而改变地球科学研究和教育的行为。拟议的EarthCube企业架构将以地球科学家和领域专家为中心，并通过数据共享促进他们的沟通和协作，最终以整体方式推动地球科学的发展。该项目旨在设计一个概念性架构，将地球科学家、计算科学家和社会科学家聚集在一起，在数据、技术、应用、商业模式和利益相关者网络上进行合作。设计方法遵循以下原则。它设计了一个新的体系结构，以及基于对当前企业体系结构的全面审查和评估来实现该体系结构的操作过程。其次，它提出了几个跨越学科鸿沟的重要机制，因为EarthCube寻求协调地球科学界。不同的方法。第三，提出了以地球科学网络基础设施技术为支撑，形成数据、工具、标准和人协同网络的方法。最后，提议的项目结合了协作网络的概念，使EarthCube企业架构的概念设计成熟，包括学术界、代理机构、工业界和其他组织作为自主参与者，不断寻求共同基础，共同改进地球科学。提议的EarthCube企业概念设计将通过EarthCube研讨会、研究协调网络、构建模块和其他场所进行验证。地球科学信息合作伙伴联盟（ESIP）将提供许多NSF和非NSF资助项目的验证。该项目将通过可扩展、可互操作、可持续和可发展的概念架构，持续并对地球科学社区以及地球科学网络基础设施社区产生长期影响

This EarthCube enterprise conceptual architecture approach looks to develop a data-driven and human-centric EarthCube enterprise architecture for achieving the goal of EarthCube as a community-driven activity to transform the conduct of geoscience research and education. The proposed EarthCube enterprise architecture will have geoscientists and domain experts at its center and facilitate them to communicate and collaborate through data sharing, and ultimately bring geosciences forward in a holistic fashion. This project seeks to design a conceptual architecture that can bring geoscientists, computing scientists, and social scientists together to collaborate on networks of data, technology, applications, business models, and stakeholders. The design approach is guided by the following principles. It designs a new architecture as well as operational procedures for achieving the architecture based on comprehensive review and assessment of current enterprise architectures. Second, it suggests several important mechanisms to cross the disciplinary chasms, as EarthCube seeking to harmonize the geosciences communities? diverse approaches. Third, it proposes methods for forming collaborative networks of data, tools, standards and people as supported by geoscience cyberinfrastructure technology. Finally, the proposed project incorporates the concept of collaborative networks for maturing the conceptual design of the EarthCube enterprise architecture by including academia, agencies, industry, and other organizations as autonomous participants that continuously seek common ground for collectively improving geosciences.The proposed EarthCube enterprise conceptual design will be validated through the EarthCube workshops, research coordination networks, building blocks, and other venues. The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) will provide validation from many NSF and non-NSF funded projects. The project will be sustained and make a long standing impact in geoscience communities as well as the geoscience cyberinfrastructure communities with a scalable, interoperable, sustainable, and evolvable conceptual architecture
