Collaborative Research: EarthCube Capabilities: Repurposing FAIR-Compliant Earth Science Data Repositories

互联网上有一个明显的稀疏数据，可以被描述为容易找到，访问，互操作和可重用（公平）。该项目旨在利用为磁性信息联盟（MagIC）开发的可重复使用的组件，这些组件遵循上述FAIR数据原则，并在综合地球科学和技术应用框架（FIESTA）中重新定位。利用这一新的FIESTA技术，我们将建立两个新的在线数据库：（1）KARAR：托管使用K/Ar和40 Ar/39 Ar技术收集的分析数据和地质年龄信息，用于岩石和矿物的年龄测定;（2）GCPDR：托管在沉积物/岩芯中以近距离收集的多传感器数据，提供有关沉积物和岩石的物理和磁性特性的信息。从KARAR获得的信息满足了几乎每一位地球科学家的迫切需要，使他们能够从各种不同的方法和来源发现和评估最佳和最新的地质年代学信息的质量。GCPDR中的信息为研究人员提供了访问基本物理信息的另一个领域（例如密度、颜色光谱、地震速度），为科学家提供了关于海洋化学、地质灾害、环境临界点、气候变化、地震、地球磁场行为、集装箱化的FIESTA方法旨在被广泛的学科所采用，通过在EarthRef.org网络基础设施上托管FIESTA，这将消除为这些科学家开发和管理长期FAIR数据库的一系列障碍。这两个新的FIESTA数据储存库还将通过以标准化的易用格式公布数据，包括在EarthCube中制定的标准，并在GitHub和EarthRef.org的“数据库”上提供数据，从而改进数据挖掘工具和网络基础设施使用方面的教育。最后，数据集的标准化将提高跨学科地球科学研究的能力，因为它降低了将不同领域的数据联系起来的障碍，并找到新的应用程序，以帮助解决长期具有挑战性的科学整合问题。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

There is a noticeable sparsity of data on the internet that can characterized as being easily findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR). This project seeks to leverage reusable components developed for the Magnetics Information Consortium (MagIC) that follow the above FAIR data principles and that are repurposed in the Framework for Integrated Earth Science and Technology Applications (FIESTA). Using this new FIESTA technology, we will build two new online data repositories: (1) KARAR: hosting analytical data and geological age information collected using the K/Ar and 40Ar/39Ar techniques for the age dating of rocks and minerals; and (2) GCPDR: hosting multi-sensor data collected at close intervals in sediment/rock cores that provide information on the physical and magnetic properties of sediments and rocks. Information to be drawn from the KARAR serves a critical need for almost every geoscientist enabling them to discover and assess the quality of the best and most current geochronological information from a variety of different methods and sources. Information in the GCPDR provides yet another domain of researchers with access to basic physical information (e.g. density, color spectra, seismic velocity) collected in tens of thousands sediment and rock cores held in national and international core repositories, which provides scientists with inimitable “time-stamped” records on ocean chemistry, geohazards, environmental tipping points, climate change, extinctions, Earth’s magnetic field behavior, global elemental cycles, and more.The containerized FIESTA approach is designed to be readily adopted by a broad range of disciplines and, by hosting FIESTA at the EarthRef.org cyberinfrastructure, this will remove a significant set of hurdles in developing and managing a long-term FAIR data repository for these scientists. The two new FIESTA data repositories will also lead to the development of improved education in data mining tools and the use of cyberinfrastructure by exposing data in standardized easy-to-use formats, including standards developed in EarthCube, and making data available on GitHub and EarthRef.org’s JupyterHub. Finally, the standardization of datasets will enhance capabilities for interdisciplinary geoscience research as it lowers the hurdles to linking data across different fields and finding new applications to help solve persistently challenging scientific integration problems.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
