Cyberinfrastructure tools for Chesapeake Bay researchers and modelers
Session Date: May 11th 2010
Session Time: 1:00
Session Lead: I. Zaslavsky
Session Co-Lead(s): M. Piasecki, M. Rodriguez
Session Abstract: This half-day workshop will introduce cyberinfrastructure tools and approaches that have been explored within the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Observatory (CBEO) project, and are now freely available to researchers and modelers. These tools include software for publishing, discovering and accessing hydrologic time series being developed within the NSF-supported CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System (HIS) project, and software for managing large data collections developed within the GEON project. We will communicate the basic concepts of service-oriented computing, standards for data exchange, hydrologic data services, publication and registration of water data services and their use in various desktop and online applications. Besides the standard components of the CUAHSI HIS and GEON-based nodes of the CBEO project, we will demonstrate techniques for rapid access to data summaries of the 10-year 13K Water Quality Model for the Chesapeake Bay, and techniques for efficient management of realtime observations. Participants will learn about the various Chesapeake Bay datasets that are accessible through the CBEO portal. In addition to providing heretofore unavailable public access to some previously unpublished data sets, the CBEO effort has provided a re-formatting of CIMS data which makes it accessible for use with the HIS cyberinfrastructure tools. Participants will be able to gain hands on experience working with the Chesapeake Bay data using the provided online software tools.
