This EAGER award promotes a new paradigm in the development of an integrative and interoperable data and knowledge management system for the geosciences for a new NSF initiative called EarthCube. Led by a team of experts from across the fields of geoscience, cyberinfrastructure, engineering, and computer science this project focuses on using a collaborative, as opposed to competitive, method to create community consensus on the most appropriate means to realize interoperability of databases containing disparate data types that are widely distributed among many large and small data repositories. To achieve this goal, the project will create registries of interoperable infrastructure components for information-sharing of geoscience data; define user requirements for such a system; and carry out proof-of-concept, cross-domain interoperability workflows using federated catalogs, cross-linked vocabularies, common data services, and shared model semantics. One of the unique aspects of this project is that the approach employed utilizes an inclusive, community-driven, collaborative approach. It also engages individuals from most of the major NSF-funded geoscience data facilities, creating a much needed forum to exchange tools, services, and best practices allowing for a better return on research money investment. Broader impacts of the project include a focus on engaging students and young researchers in cross-domain data-intensive research, the likelihood that impacts of the project will crossover to other science domains, and the fact that some core project members were from under-represented groups in science and engineering. An additional broader impact is an international component that engages UK scientists as members of the core project team.

该 EAGER 奖项促进了为地球科学开发集成且可互操作的数据和知识管理系统的新范例，以支持 NSF 的一项名为 EarthCube 的新计划。该项目由来自地球科学、网络基础设施、工程和计算机科学领域的专家团队领导，重点是使用协作而非竞争的方法，就最合适的方法达成社区共识，以实现包含不同数据的数据库的互操作性。广泛分布在许多大大小小的数据存储库中的数据类型。为了实现这一目标，该项目将创建可互操作的基础设施组件注册表，以实现地球科学数据的信息共享；定义此类系统的用户需求；并使用联合目录、交叉链接词汇表、通用数据服务和共享模型语义来执行概念验证、跨域互操作性工作流程。 该项目的独特之处之一是所采用的方法采用了包容性、社区驱动的协作方法。 它还吸引了来自大多数 NSF 资助的主要地球科学数据设施的个人，创建了一个急需的论坛来交流工具、服务和最佳实践，从而获得更好的研究资金投资回报。该项目的更广泛影响包括注重让学生和年轻研究人员参与跨领域数据密集型研究、该项目的影响可能会交叉到其他科学领域，以及一些核心项目成员来自代表性不足的事实科学和工程组。 另一个更广泛的影响是国际组成部分，让英国科学家成为核心项目团队的成员。
