Why?
| Project Objective: | The main goal of this proposal is to design and build a distributed World Wide Web of Plankton Image Curation nodes (WWW.PIC) that serve processed images of planktonic organisms, facilitate their collaborative identification along a common taxonomic framework through a data-intensive internet application, store associated ecological metadata (such as time, location, and environmental conditions) in a flexible manner, and make all data easily accessible to the wider scientific community. |
| Call Objective: | SEI targets initiatives that are well positioned to bring together environmental, social and economic scientists with data scientists, computational scientists, and e-infrastructure and cyber-infrastructure developers and providers for a shared goal; to solve methodological, technological and/or procedural challenges facing interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary environmental change research that involves working with large, diverse and transnational, multi-source data. The SEI CRA will closely link research thinking and technological innovation toward accelerating the full path of discovery-driven data use and open science. This will enable a broader scientific community to benefit from the identified new and potentially disruptive demonstrators or pilots toward solutions. |
