项目摘要

Data, information, ideas, and technologies diffuse through social and organizational networks, if the impediments to their adoption are low and the benefits of new approaches are clear. This project brings together the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), UNAVCO, and Cornell University to understand how to improve the processes of collaboration and resource sharing in the geosciences by demonstrating and encouraging the adoption of structured information systems rooted in common standards. Using two large geoscience research programs as case studies, this effort will demonstrate how semantic web and linked data technology can play an essential role in the coordination and organization of scientific virtual organizations and their products, thereby accelerating the pace of scientific discovery and innovation. The researchers will use a well-developed open source web application as an integrating data layer to expose the informational relationships and organizational collaborations within the case studies. This project will be an exemplar of using linked data to support virtual organizations in the geosciences. These efforts will feed into new tools that leverage linked data to support information and data exchange, and will produce recommendations on engaging user communities in linked data projects. This project will provide insight into how the geosciences can leverage linked data to produce more coherent methods of information and data discovery for large multi-disciplinary projects and virtual organizations. They will use the open source VIVO software application to illustrate how linked data can transform scientific project communication and dissemination via front end discovery based on rich networked metadata. The VIVO platform provides new capabilities for researchers and educators to use structured, interpretable data, permitting direct interlinking of information and data across platforms and projects. The project will structure data into an ontology-based, standard data format (RDF) for re-use, leveraging web identifier and vocabulary structures that have been well developed and widely adopted in the geoscience and cyberinfrastructure communities.

数据，信息，思想和技术通过社会和组织网络扩散，如果其采用的障碍很低，并且新方法的好处很明显。该项目汇集了国家大气研究中心（NCAR），UNAVCO和康奈尔大学，以了解如何通过展示和鼓励采用植根于公共标准的结构化信息系统来改善地球科学中的协作和资源共享过程。使用两个大型的地球科学研究计划作为案例研究，这项工作将证明语义网和链接的数据技术如何在科学虚拟组织及其产品的协调和组织中发挥重要作用，从而加快了科学发现和创新的速度。研究人员将使用完善的开源Web应用程序作为集成数据层，以揭示案例研究中的信息关系和组织合作。该项目将是使用链接数据来支持地球科学中的虚拟组织的一个典范。这些努力将以利用链接数据来支持信息和数据交换的新工具，并将提出有关使用户社区参与链接数据项目的建议。该项目将提供有关地球科学如何利用链接数据来为大型多学科项目和虚拟组织提供更连贯的信息和数据发现方法的见解。他们将使用开源Vivo软件应用程序来说明链接的数据如何通过基于丰富的网络元数据的前端发现来转变科学项目的通信和传播。 Vivo平台为研究人员和教育工作者提供了新的功能，可以使用结构化的，可解释的数据，从而直接跨平台和项目跨越信息和数据。该项目将在基于本体的标准数据格式（RDF）中构建数据，用于重复使用，利用Web标识符和词汇结构，这些结构在地球科学和网络基础结构社区中已得到很好的开发并广泛采用。
