This project, Brokered Alignment for Long-Tail Observations (BALTO), is supported under the EarthCube program. The development team seeks to build a tool and infrastructure to allow the community to easily submit long-tail observational data that cannot easily fit into existing data repositories. A data brokering technique will be developed to accomplish the goals of the study. Graduate students, including from underrepresented minority groups, will receive training opportunities via this project. To facilitate access to long-tail observations this work seeks to develop a core capability for the future EarthCube (EC) architecture in the Architecture and Implementation Plan - Brokered Alignment for Long-Tail Observations (BALTO). BALTO entails an open-source interface to discover, access and transform geoscience data sources through a brokering solution implemented by user-developed accessors. BALTO integrates core attributes of successful prior EC Building Blocks, BCube and ODSIP, to create a next generation EC capability. Leveraging its large installed base and its open-source flexibility, BALTO will extend Hyrax OPeNDAP's data server for ODSIP with capabilities for distributed brokering. Results from this project will demonstrate improved access and its impacts on scientific discovery via three NSF funded interdisciplinary use-cases that span geodesy, seismology, hydrology, oceanography, and geodynamics.

该项目名为长尾观测经纪对齐 (BALTO)，得到 EarthCube 计划的支持。 开发团队致力于构建一种工具和基础设施，使社区能够轻松提交无法轻松融入现有数据存储库的长尾观测数据。 将开发数据代理技术来实现研究目标。 研究生，包括来自代表性不足的少数群体的研究生，将通过该项目获得培训机会。为了促进长尾观测的获取，这项工作力求在架构和实施计划中为未来的 EarthCube (EC) 架构开发核心功能 - 长尾观测的代理对齐 (BALTO)。 BALTO 需要一个开源接口，通过用户开发的访问器实现的代理解决方案来发现、访问和转换地球科学数据源。 BALTO 集成了先前成功的 EC 构建模块、BCube 和 ODSIP 的核心属性，以创建下一代 EC 功能。利用其庞大的安装基础和开源灵活性，BALTO 将扩展 Hyrax OPeNDAP 的 ODSIP 数据服务器，并具有分布式代理功能。该项目的结果将通过 NSF 资助的三个跨学科用例（涵盖大地测量学、地震学、水文学、海洋学和地球动力学）展示改进的获取方式及其对科学发现的影响。
