Intellectual Merit: This is an effort to address the growing and increasingly diverse data management needs of the NSF arctic research community. Core activities of an Integrated Arctic Data Management Services (IADS) will include identifying and cataloging all data produced by NSF arctic investigators and providing assistance and tools to meet requirements to publish data and associated metadata. IADS will ensure that data are well documented to guarantee preservation and to promote interdisciplinary reuse, and it will enable data discovery through diverse portals, including a new IADS portal for publishing investigator metadata and data, special project support, and access by the broad community. IADS will foster scientific synthesis through its support services and help-desk functions, and by enabling integration of datasets stemming from NSF projects with data generated through activities of other U.S. agencies and other countries. The IADS will tackle the complexity of data types emerging from the Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH), the Arctic Observing Network (AON) and other efforts to serve diverse stakeholder needs. Along with advanced search and discovery capabilities, the IADS will include services such as reformatting (re-projection of gridded data, point to grid conversions, options to download data in a variety of formats), subsetting and visualization. Visualization services will include demos and instructions on how to use Integrated Data Viewer, Google Earth and other tools. Broader Impacts: The core operation of this activity represents broader impacts. IADS will make its data holdings discoverable and usable, promote scientific synthesis and foster interagency collaboration crucial to meeting SEARCH objectives. Through activities and coordination with SEARCH/AON leadership via workshops and other venues, data management will be elevated to an integral part of scientific research. Support of groups before they go to the field will include metadata education, instruction on how to organize a data set before publishing, and provision of software tools to take to the field. The rewards of these various activities will be better data stewardship, services and data integration capabilities to benefit the arctic research community in coming years and decades.

知识分子的优点：这是为了满足NSF北极研究界不断增长且日益多样化的数据管理需求的努力。综合北极数据管理服务（IADS）的核心活动将包括识别和分类NSF北极研究人员生产的所有数据，并提供帮助和工具以满足发布数据和相关元数据的要求。 IADS将确保对数据有充分的记录，以确保保存并促进跨学科的再利用，并通过各种门户网站（包括新的IADS门户网站出版调查员元数据和数据，特殊项目支持以及广泛社区的访问权限）来发现数据发现。 IAD将通过其支持服务和帮助DESK功能来促进科学综合，并通过通过其他美国机构和其他国家的活动产生的数据来集成NSF项目的数据集。 IAD将解决从环境北极变化研究（搜索），北极观察网络（AON）和其他为各种利益相关者需求满足各种努力的努力中出现的数据类型的复杂性。除了高级搜索和发现功能外，IAD还将包括重新格式（重新预测网格数据，指向网格转换，以各种格式下载数据的选项），子集和可视化的选项。可视化服务将包括演示和有关如何使用集成数据查看器，Google Earth和其他工具的说明。更广泛的影响：此活动的核心运作代表了更广泛的影响。 IADS将使其数据持有量可发现且可用，并促进科学综合并促进对实现搜索目标至关重要的机构间协作。通过通过研讨会和其他场所与搜索/AON领导的活动和协调，数据管理将被提升为科学研究不可或缺的一部分。在进入现场之前的小组的支持将包括元数据教育，有关如何在发布之前组织数据集的指导以及提供访问该领域的软件工具。这些各种活动的回报将是更好的数据管理，服务和数据集成能力，以使未来几年和几十年来受益。
