Finding the Forest in the Trees

The Challenge of Combining Diverse Environmental Data

By: Committee for a Pilot Study on Database Interfaces,Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications,Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences,National Research Council

During the last few decades of the 20th century, the development of an array of technologies has made it possible to observe the Earth, collect large quantities of data related to components and processes of the Earth system, and store, analyze, and retrieve these data at will. Over the past ten years, in particular, the observational, computational, and communications technologies have enabled the scientific community to undertake a broad range of interdisciplinary environmental research and assessment programs. Sound practice in database management are required to deal with the problems of complexity in such programs and a great deal of attention and resources has been devoted to this area in recent years. However, little guidance has been provided on overcoming the barriers frequently encountered in the interfacing of disparate data sets. This book attempts to remedy that problem by providing analytical and functional guidelines to help researchers and technicians to better plan and implement their supporting data management activities.

Advancing Strategic Science

A Spatial Data Infrastructure Roadmap for the U.S. Geological Survey

Science is increasingly driven by data, and spatial data underpin the science directions laid out in the 2007 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Science Strategy. A robust framework of spatial data, metadata, tools, and a user community that is interactively connected to use spatial data in an efficient and flexible way-known as a spatial data infrastructure (SDI)-must be available for scientists and managers to find, use, and share spatial data both within and beyond the USGS. Over the last decade, the USGS has conducted breakthrough research that has overcome some of the challenges associated with implementing a large SDI. Advancing Strategic Science: A Spatial Data Infrastructure Roadmap for the U.S. Geological Survey is intended to ground those efforts by providing a practical roadmap to full implementation of an SDI to enable the USGS to conduct strategic science.

Third IEEE Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications

Proceedings, December 7-8, 2000, Monterey, California

By: IEEE Computer Society. Technical Committee on the Internet

Annotation Seventeen papers from the December 2000 workshop discuss ubiquitous and context-aware computing, service discovery and interaction, personal mobility, systems support and UI toolkits for mobile devices and protocols for wireless networks. Some of the topics are a virtual machine architecture designed for mobile embedded systems, the Roma personal metadata service, performance evaluation of a lightweight resource reservation protocol for mobile Internet hosts, optimizing thin clients for wireless active-media applications, and using CORBA applications in nomadic environments.
