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.
