Partnership Applications

Jacobs University- ESIP-III (primarily applications and education)

Application excerpt:

The Large-Scale Scientific Information Systems research group is making two main contributions: (i) the rasdaman ("raster data manager", see www.rasdaman.org) Array Database System, which enables storage and retrieval on massive multi-dimensional raster ("array") data sets, and (ii) leading the coverage standardization part in the Open Geospatial Consortium by chairing the WCS.SWG and having editorship on most of the WCS suite standards. Bidirectional communication on WCS and related OGC standards helps to better educate communities about the opportunities the WCS suite offers, and allows to gather new requirements and other feedback on the specifications. For our rasdaman system we hope to find new fans to broadn the user (and maybe even contributor) community.

Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO) - ESIP-I (primarily a data center/archive)

Application excerpt:

BCO-DMO staff members work closely with NSF OCE funded investigators to manage, curate and serve data from their respective research programs. All data are ultimately made freely available and documented sufficiently to support re-use by research colleagues. BCO-DMO, in collaboration with colleagues at RPI/TWC has developed an ontology to describe ocean data.
