EarthCube IA: Oceans of Data: Bringing EarthCube to the Science User

查找、访问和可视化数据的能力对于许多海洋学研究以及海洋学教学至关重要。然而，海洋数据以不同的格式保存在多个数据设施中，可通过不同的途径获取。这就产生了集成和跨不同数据集工作的实际问题。SeaView项目正在五个主要海洋学数据设施-R2R、BCO-DMO、CCHDO、OBIS和OOI *-的丰富数据资源与拥有40 000多个注册用户的海洋数据可视化和勘探工具-海洋数据视图（ODV）之间建立联系。为此，它正在利用NSF对以前两个EarthCube项目的投资：CINERGI，作为用户查找和访问他们希望使用的数据的注册表，以及GeoLink，它正在提供现有数据资源之间的互连，使用户能够探索相关信息的知识库。SeaView利用现有资源提供改进的工具和数据访问，以支持海洋科学两个领域的基础研究：深水水文学和海洋社区与环境的相互作用。两者都直接投入到2015年海洋科学十年调查确定的最高优先级研究中。它还将使目前在地球立方中代表性不足的社区的科学家参与进来，具体目标是深海水文学家和海洋生态学家，特别是那些研究物种与环境相互作用的海洋学家。在项目开始时，由来自这些社区的最终用户科学家组成的一组三个焦点小组和一个科学驱动程序研讨会将优先考虑特定的数据集并开发科学场景（用例）。他们将在中途再次会面，对工具进行实际测试并提供反馈。 CINERGI注册中心将用于将这些存储库中支持ODV的格式公开给ODV。EarthCube GeoLink知识库将提供其他内容（调查人员、出版物等）的链接。用于ODV中加载的巡航相关数据集。

The ability to find, access, and visualize data is critical to many kinds of oceanographic research, as well as to teaching oceanography. Yet ocean data is held in multiple data facilities, in different formats, and is accessible through different pathways. This creates practical problems with integrating and working across different data sets. The SeaView project is building connections between the rich data resources in five major oceanographic data facilities - R2R, BCO-DMO, CCHDO, OBIS and OOI* - and an ocean data visualization and exploration tool, the Ocean Data View (ODV), having over 40,000 registered users. To do so, it is leveraging from NSF investments into two previous EarthCube projects: CINERGI, as the registry where users will find and access data they wish to use, and GeoLink, which is providing interconnections between existing data resources, allowing users to explore a knowledge base of related information. SeaView leverages existing resources to provide improved tools and data access in support of fundamental research in two areas of ocean sciences: deep water hydrography and marine community-environment interactions. Both feed directly into research identified by the 2015 Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences as of the highest priority. It will also engage scientists from currently underrepresented communities in EarthCube.The specific oceanographic communities targeted are deep water hydrographers and marine ecologists, particularly those studying species interactions with the environment. Near the start of the project, a set of three focus groups and a Science Drivers workshop composed of end-user scientists from these communities will prioritize the specific datasets and develop science scenarios (use cases). They will meet again mid-stream for hands-on testing of the tool and feedback. The CINERGI registry will be used to expose ODV-supported formats from these repositories to ODV. The EarthCube GeoLink knowledge base will provide links to additional content (investigators, publications, etc.) for cruise-related datasets loaded in ODV.
