The Arctic Research Mapping Application ([http://armap.org 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 ([http://www.adiwg.org/about/ 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.
+
Identifying projects unambiguously requires titles and identifiers.

The ARMAP implementation of the Project Metadata Profile  includes 1) textual information used to provide brief descriptions of the project and to support text searches and 2) keywords.  The textual information has two forms: science descriptions of the project (abstract) and summaries of the logistics, reflecting the importance of logistics in Arctic project planning. There are two types of keywords: theme (from the NSF Discipline List) and place (from the ARMAP database of field projects for the Arctic region).
+
Descriptive information supports full-text and facet searches

Identifying organizations and people associated with resources is an important role of metadata. Contact information is the most abundant type of information in the ARMAP implementation. It takes several forms: contact people responsible for executing the projects, other kinds of related organizations and people (collaborators, funders and (co-) principle investigators), and metadata creators.

=Project Extent=
+
==Project Extent==
−
Spatial and temporal extents are critical for many map-based searches and for determining project logistics needs. Most map searches rely on spatial bounding boxes and temporal ranges. These work well in many low-latitude situations, but are difficult to use effectively in others. ADIwg’s FGDC inspired Project Metadata Profile includes collection site locations given as lat/lon pairs. This approach works well for projects that are collecting data at particular sites, but may be problematic in others. This is clearly an area where flexibility is required and has been addressed with the adoption of multi-geometry in the ISO Project Metadata Profile.
+
Describing the temporal and spatial extent of a project is critical for logistics
 +
and planning.

Revision as of 09:57, September 6, 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

Identifying projects unambiguously requires titles and identifiers.
