HISTORY
ALL DATA SETS ARE CONVERTED TO A RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TABLE
AT A LOCAL LEVEL, THE LUQ IMS HAS THE CAPABILITY OF QUERYING RECORDS OF DATA OUT OF THEIR DATA BASES AND APPENDING OR JOINNING TABLES TOGETHER
HISTORYMANAGING DATA
Plans for the LUQ IM Progress
new mechanisms to allow investigators to remotely deposit their data in the LUQ IM system.
Achieved for special groups in a private web site; new web site will provide forms to upload both data and its metadata.
PROGRESS2006 PROPOSAL’S IM GOALS
LUQ LTER INTRANET FUNCTIONALITY
Plans for the LUQ IM Progress
A scroll down Web site map with links to other U.S. LTER sites, and other Best Web Practices features;
Will be available in the new web site; Most of the Best Web practices features implemented in the current web site
PROGRESS2006 PROPOSAL’S IM GOALS
Plans for the LUQ IM Progress
Translation of the already existing metadata to EML level 5 standards to allow data as well as its already harvested metadata retrieval by the LTER Network Office’s data warehouse: Metacat
Approximately 87% of the online metadata is in EML, 59% of which is in Level 5 QC
PROGRESS2006 PROPOSAL’S IM GOALS
Plans for the LUQ IM Progress
Completion of a database containing GIS referenced list of all LUQ project sites (LUQ GIS database)
Simplified online version is being implemented in the current web site
PROGRESS2006 PROPOSAL’S IM GOALS
LTER Web Site Design LTER Web Site Content
LTER Network Identity LOGO AND ID link to siteDB The LTER network domain,
luq.ternet.edu,
Navigation Repeated navigation menu Hyperlinked section in each
main menu page
Data access Home page link to data set
catalog Signature data sets Local data sets search: LTER
core areas, LUQ Categories Link to the LNO MetaCat
system: owner and by keyword
Prominent link to network-wide databases: ClimDB/HydroDB, SiteDB
Prominent link to EcoTrends
PROGRESSNETWORK STANDARDS• Links reach content in few mouse clicks• All recommended links the home page in place: contact information, site bibliography: contact information, Searchable site personnel directory, Searchable site bibliography, searchable citations, progress reports and proposals, news, Network resources, research description, education and
outreach
Challenges:
-Providing the capability to achieve real integration of information in the INTERNET
-Providing a searching mechanism in the web site that will allow users to obtain the data they are looking for plus related data sets and information
Tasks:- - Complete in time the
translation of all of our metadata to EML Level 5 and develop the mechanism to automatically produce this level of metadata for new filed data sets
- - Produce sets of keywords that will relate all the information in our web site
CHALLENGECompleting the goals for the LUQ LTER 4
