The following four applications have been approved by the Partnership Committee and are available for review and comment through December 14, 2011.

UNC-CH / Data Intensive Cyber Environments Center / DataNet Federation Consortium (DICE) (Type III)

Application excerpt:

The DICE Center at UNC-CH develops open source policy-based data management systems called the integrated Rule-Oriented Data System. The iRODS data grid is used to support the MODIS data set at the NASA Center for Climate Simulation, and is being considered as software middleware to improve access to holdings at the NOAA National Climatic Data Center. The DataNet Federation Consortium is an NSF funded project to develop national data management infrastructure that supports research collaborations.

DICE

University of South Florida College of Marine Science (USFCMS) (Type II)

Application excerpt:

The USF College of Marine Science owns and operates buoys, coastal stations, Slocum gliders, and other custom instruments which generate various datasets. Currently we store these datasets onsite in a variety of database engines (primarily Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite).

USFCMS

NASA Applied Sciences Program - Health and Air Quality Applications, NASA HQ (Type II)

Application excerpt:

. In concert with the communities of practice, and the NASA HQ Applied Sciences Program Management, we develop applications plans for Earth Science missions that identify potential NASA satellite and air borne measurements have societal benefits. At the user end we organize applications communities of practice and facilitate physical or virtual interactions to imagine, articulate, and anticipate possible applications. As early as possible in the mission planning process, we identify, encourage and facilitate potential partnerships and collaborations.

NASA-AQ

University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill / RENCI (Renaissance Computing Institute) / iRODS Development and Support (RENCI) (Type II)

Application excerpt:

The Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI) is a research institute at UNC-CH whose primary mission is to advance the science of CyberInfrastructure through partnerships with researchers and application-driven groups. A main science driver for RENCI’s activities is within the Earth Sciences community, in particular coastal oceanography, with close ties to NOAA IOOS and regional association activities.
