项目摘要

The East Pacific Rise (EPR) is currently our best-studied section of fast-spreading mid-ocean ridge, yielding a wealth of observational data and results spanning many scientific fields. However, this information has not yet been fully utilized. Most of it exists in noninteractive form (e.g. journal publications) or as incompatible datasets and models. To make the most of this data, scientists will need a wide range of sophisticated programming support to coordinate the use of data, computational tools, and numerical models across distributed networks of computers. This project will develop that support.Technically, this project will develop the computational infrastructure needed to support data sharing, tool composition, and model coupling for the use of large scale, interdisciplinary data archives. It will then apply that infrastructure to build a domain-specific environment called the Virtual Research Vessel 1 (VRV-1). The VRV-1 will facilitate the use of data, maps, and models related to the EPR. The project will address fundamental issues of integrated middleware for scientific data management and computational science. In particular, it will support data sharing by merging three technologies: geographic information systems, database management systems, and electronic notebooks. It will support tool composition through an extension of an existing electronic notebook. Finally, it will support model coupling by developing support for exploring model correlations and relationships at a very high, domain-specific level in a fast prototyping environment.

东太平洋崛起（EPR）目前是我们在快速传播的中山山脊中最有研究的部分，产生了大量的观察数据，结果涵盖了许多科学领域。但是，此信息尚未得到充分利用。大多数以非相互作用形式（例如期刊出版物）或不兼容的数据集和模型存在。为了充分利用这些数据，科学家将需要广泛的复杂编程支持，以协调分布式计算机网络跨计算机网络的数据，计算工具和数值模型的使用。该项目将开发该支持。技术上，该项目将开发支持数据共享，工具组成和模型耦合所需的计算基础架构，用于使用大型，跨学科数据档案。然后，它将应用该基础设施来构建一个特定领域的环境，称为虚拟研究船1（VRV-1）。 VRV-1将促进与EPR相关的数据，地图和模型的使用。该项目将解决科学数据管理和计算科学的集成中间件的基本问题。特别是，它将通过合并三种技术来支持数据共享：地理信息系统，数据库管理系统和电子笔记本电脑。它将通过扩展现有电子笔记本的扩展来支持工具组成。最后，它将通过在快速原型制作环境中以非常高的特定于域特定水平来探索模型相关性和关系的支持来支持模型耦合。
