Revision as of 13:39, August 27, 2014
The Arctic Research Mapping Application (ARMAP) brings together a multi-disciplinary collection of nearly three thousand NSF funded projects focused on characterizing and understanding the Arctic environment. These projects are described in a standard and structured way using a metadata profile developed during 2011 by the Alaska Data Integration working group (ADIwg). This profile was originally derived from the FGDC Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (documentation from the original ADIwg wiki will be available at https://github.com/adiwg/project-metadata-fgdc). It includes a number of fundamental documentation concepts that, taken together, have been proven to make up a successful framework for providing access to information about NSF funded projects in the Arctic region and their geographic distribution. The fundamental project documentation concepts and how these concepts might be shared across a broader community using other metadata dialects are described here.
Project Identification
Identification information is used in the Project Metadata Profile implementation for ARMAP to support two types of information discovery: 1) text searches for titles and 2) unambiguous identification by a number of related organizations. Titles are included in the project citations along with links to project logistics reports (HTML metadata sum-maries). Identifiers are provided from the primary organization responsible for the pro-ject and the host organization (ARMAP in this case). In addition, there is a UUID included that unambiguously identifies the project independently from any organization.

| Resource Title | A short description of the resource.

Project Extent
Describing the temporal and spatial extent of a project is critical for logistics and planning.
