This Division of Earth Sciences Geoinformatics collaborative award supports continued development of Neotoma, a web-accessible centralized data clearinghouse for paleoecological data for which initial development support was provided by the EAR Geoinformatics Program (EAR- 0948652). This effort will enhance the current Neotoma platform by: 1) maximizing rates of data ingest through on-going data mobilization campaigns, recruitment and training of new data stewards, and development of facilitation software; 2) expanding the Neotoma data model to facilitate new proxy acquisition and secondary data including organic biomarkers, isotopic data from faunal specimens, and faunal taphonomic information; 3) developing new tools for data visualization and scientific exploration; 4) fostering engagement and growth of the Neotoma research community through support for a series of workshops intended to train data users, data stewards, and teachers, and by development of an on-line blog.The Neotoma geoinformatics platform will promote integrative studies of the biotic impacts of climate change over the past five million years by allowing greater access to previously collected geoscience data sets of relevance and the tools to support analysis at marginal cost. The project will promote community engagement, support ease of data set ingestion, address PI team succession and promote educational module development. This award directly addresses OMB Memo M-13-13 ?Open Data Policy-Managing Information as an Asset.?***

该地球科学地理信息学合作奖支持 Neotoma 的持续开发，Neotoma 是一个可通过网络访问的古生态数据集中数据交换所，EAR 地理信息学计划 (EAR-0948652) 为其提供了初步开发支持。 这项工作将通过以下方式增强当前的 Neotoma 平台：1）通过持续的数据动员活动、新数据管理员的招聘和培训以及简化软件的开发，最大限度地提高数据摄取率； 2) 扩展 Neotoma 数据模型，以促进新的代理采集和二手数据，包括有机生物标志物、动物标本的同位素数据和动物埋藏学信息； 3）开发数据可视化和科学探索的新工具； 4) 通过支持一系列旨在培训数据用户、数据管理员和教师的研讨会以及开发在线博客，促进 Neotoma 研究社区的参与和发展。Neotoma 地理信息学平台将促进对通过允许更多地访问先前收集的相关地球科学数据集和支持边际成本分析的工具，了解过去五百万年气候变化对生物的影响。 该项目将促进社区参与、支持数据集的轻松获取、解决 PI 团队的继任问题并促进教育模块的开发。 该奖项直接针对 OMB 备忘录 M-13-13“开放数据政策 - 将信息作为资产进行管理。”***
