Smart Data in Motion for the Deep Carbon

Smart Data in Motion for the Deep Carbon Observatory.

Deep Carbon Observatory (DCO) … • “We are dedicated to achieving transformational understanding of carbon’s chemical and biological roles in Earth. ” www. deepcarbon. net

Data Science is … • Doing science with someone else’s data … – – – across datasets with models multi-dimensional, multi-scale, multi-mode complex data-types needing new analytic and visual approaches • Especially in multiple “dimensions” (functional) – E. g. Detection/ attribution methods/ algorithms – Visual exploration • Today – is collaborative, performed in a network, and webbased …

Collaboration and Integration needs … • “Enable DCO team leaders to create new groups and associate a number of content types --documents, discussions, blog posts, tasks, links, and bibliographic entries --- with the group, as well as simple event management (a private event calendar for the group) and embedding of external services (e. g. and esp. Google Calendar)” … more… (data, publications, projects)… a Knowledge Network … and a Virtual Organization (> 1000 people)

State to date… • Knowledge network – implements both the collaboration and the integration, reporting implements the transparency – It’s being USED • Many means of population – User generation – Machine generation • Contributing these enhancements back to opensource communities (CKAN, VIVO)

Thus… progress… • • Integrative – semantics Transparent – semantics Collaborative – semantics Application integration – Yep – semantics • So… smart data in motion
