Constellation Abstract Deep Carbon Observatory-Data Science is
assembling a Deep Earth Computer for the Deep Carbon Observatory
(DCO). The efforts will create a fundamental change in the conduct
of Carbon-related research, resting upon a 21st century data
science platform, and a series of aggregate data holdings that have
never existed before. Data science combines aspects of informatics,
data management, library science, computer science and physical
science using cyberinfrastructure and information technology. The
Deep Earth Computer we build provides these functions at minimum:
an concept-type repository, an ability to identify and manage all
key entities, agents and activities in the platform, a repository
for archiving datasets and associated metadata, collaboration
tools, and an integrated portal to manage diverse content and
applications, with varied access levels and privacy options. The
Deep Earth Computer sets up a platform for the Linked Science of
the Deep Carbon Community, that is, not only scientific assets like
data and methods behind scientific settings are opened and
inter-connected, but also the people, organizations, groups,
samples, instruments, activities, grants, meetings, etc. are
recorded and inter-connected. Such a platform will promote
collaborations among DCO community members, improve the openness
and reproducibility of Carbon-related researches, and facilitate
accreditation to resource (including publications, datasets,
instruments, etc.) contributors. Community Data and Groups An
Integrated Portal for Diverse Content and Applications VIVO -
represents academic research communities Every person,
organization, or other data entity in VIVO has a unique identifier
VIVO enables the discovery of research and scholarship across
disciplines at one institution or across many Records are both
human-readable and machine-readable We have extended VIVO ontology
to include the science network datasets, instruments, sites, etc.
Feeding this back to VIVO Knowledge network implements both the
collaboration and the integration Many means of population User
generation Machine generation Substantially contributing these
enhancements back to open- source community (CKAN, VIVO, GHS)
Information models provide domain level view and logical models
implemented in ontology leverage a wide variety of vocabularies and
encoding schemes. DCO ontology extends the VIVO ontology to make
the model more suitable for the DCO community needs. CKAN is a
powerful data management system that makes data accessible by
providing tools to streamline publishing, sharing, finding and
using data. CKAN is aimed at data publishers (national and regional
governments, companies and organizations) wanting to make their
data open and available. -- http://ckan.org Drupal is an open
source content management platform powering millions of websites
and applications. Its built, used, and supported by an active and
diverse community of people around the world. -- https://drupal.org
All the complex IT concepts and architectures are hidden from the
users, who browse and operate with friendly user interfaces on
deepcarbon.net The Handle System is an infrastructure on which
applications serving many different purposes have been built. Among
the objects we know of that are identified by handles are journal
articles, technical reports, books, theses and dissertations,
government documents, metadata, distributed learning content, and
data sets. -- http://www.handle.net Visualized Information Viewing
