Abstract Many scientists around the world became interested in U.S. Long Term Ecological Research (U.S. LTER) Network's research model during 1990s and began to develop LTER Socio‐ecological networks their own countries. These local networks, including Network, were loosely federated 1993 form International (ILTER) a “network of networks.” Although first 10 yr ILTER Network activities largely supported by funds from National Science Foundation, had transformed into robust, self‐sustaining...
Abstract The Environmental Data Initiative (EDI) is a trustworthy, stable data repository, and management support organization for the environmental scientist. In bottom‐up community process, EDI was built with premise that freely easily available are necessary to advance understanding of complex processes change, improve transparency research results, democratize ecological research. provides tools allow researcher integrate publishing into workflow. Almost ten years since going production,...
The International Long Term Ecological Research (ILTER) Network was established in 1993 and is now composed of thirty‐eight national networks representing a diversity ecosystems around the globe. Data generated by ILTER are valuable for scientists addressing broad spatial temporal scale research questions, but only if these data can be easily discovered, accessed, understood. Challenges to publishing have included unequal distribution among information management expertise, user‐friendly...
Abstract Since 1980, more than 40 countries have implemented long‐term ecological research (LTER) programs, which shown their power to affect advances in basic science understand the natural world at meaningful temporal and spatial scales also help link with socially relevant outcomes. Recently, a disciplinary paradigmatic shift has integrated human dimensions of ecosystems, leading socio‐ecological (LTSER) framework address world's current environmental challenges. A global gap LTER/LTSER...
The Environmental Data Initiative (EDI) is a continuation and expansion of the original United Stated Long-Term Ecological Research Program (US-LTER) data repository which went into production in 2013. Building on decades management experience LTER, EDI addressing challenge publishing diverse corpus research (Servilla et al. 2016). EDI’s accomplishments span all aspects curation publication lifecycle, including cyberinfrastructure, outreach training, enhancements to documentation...
We describe the process by which Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network standardised their metadata through adoption of Metadata Language (EML). strategies developed to improve motivation and complement information technology resources available at LTER sites. EML implementation is presented as a mapping that was accomplished per site in stages, with quality ranging from 'discovery level' rich-content level over time. As publication, 6000 records have been published using EML,...
<p class="p1">Environmental research data repositories provide much needed services for preservation and dissemination to diverse communities with domain specific or programmatic needs standards. Due independent development these serve their well, but were developed different technologies, models using ontologies. Hence, the effectiveness efficiency of can be vastly improved if work together adhering a shared community platform that focuses on implementation agreed upon standards best...
We present two examples of scientific results using a semi-automated data synthesis driven by quality, rich-content metadata: 1) Antarctic climate and 2) effects drought on biodiversity. use framework for processing supported quality controlled, content-rich metadata expressed in the Ecological Metadata Language (EML). discuss set common practices EML newcomers as valuable guide use. provide some simple tools that can be used to address control is generated. Based our extended experience, we...
Abstract For many ecologists, publishing data in a repository is new, unfamiliar task. To reduce the learning curve, Environmental Data Initiative has developed user‐friendly software to make capturing and submitting metadata simple process. In this article, we introduce ezEML discuss use cases for researchers who publish infrequently or information managers regularly update multiple datasets.
Scientific software registries and repositories serve various roles in their respective disciplines. These resources improve discoverability research transparency, provide information for citations, foster preservation of computational methods that might otherwise be lost over time, thereby supporting reproducibility replicability. However, developing these takes effort, few guidelines are available to help prospective creators repositories. To address this need, we present a set nine best...
Several forest dynamics plot research projects in the East-Asia Pacific region of International Long-Term Ecological Research network actively collect long-term data, and some these large plots are members Center for Tropical Forest Science network. The wealth data presents challenges information management to researchers. In order facilitate a Dynamics Plot Database Application Workshop was held Taiwan 2009. This paper describes results workshop that produced tested an integrated framework....
