NOEFディスカッションの継続：Ocean GISへの影響

Question

<\/HEAD>10月21日から22日にかけて、Scripps Institution of OceanographyとNOAAは第5回年次National Ocean Exploration Forum (NOEF)を開催しました。「Ocean Exploration in a Sea of Data」はUC-San DiegoのQualcomm Institute（Computer Science and Engineering）で行われました。この招待制フォーラムは、データサイエンスと海洋探査コミュニティを集め、データサイエンスの分析および可視化技術が現代および歴史的な海洋探査データにどのように適用できるかを議論しました。参加者は、衛星、船舶、自律型海洋センサー、深海コアなどからの関連データがどのように統合、分析、可視化され、新しい方法で海洋を理解するために活用できるかを検討しました。ここにはOcean GISや私たち自身のEsri Ocean GIS Forumとの自然な多くのつながりがあります。<\/SPAN><\/P><\/P>フォーラム中の全体パネルで、Lamont-Doherty Earth ObservatoryのDr. Vicki Ferriniは「i<\/SPAN>ntegrating data across temporal\/spatial scales and integrating modern data with legacy data is indeed a fundamental challenge. But in this challenge is a fundamental opportunity. Most importantly, an ability to work with data across time and space (in all meanings of the words) creates the potential not only for making new and unexpected discoveries, but to do science and engage the data in a completely different way. Along the way, we demonstrate the value of data management and preservation efforts. Were at a watershed moment where challenges, opportunities, and solutions may not be completely understood, but at least seem tractable. That may not be the case five or ten years from now. The ocean exploration community clearly needs a closer relationship with the data science, and visualization communities, and the sooner the better."<\/SPAN> <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/P>ここで挙がった重要な議論トピックをいくつか共有します。皆さんもご検討ください:<\/SPAN><\/P>空間的にまばらなデータを統合・可視化する最良の戦略は？時間的にまばらなデータは？<\/SPAN><\/LI>観測・測定のギャップを補うために、どのように自信を持ってデータを外挿できるか？<\/SPAN><\/LI>まばらなデータを使ってより正確に予測・モデル化する技術は？<\/SPAN><\/LI>真実性（データ品質）が非常に変動する場合でも意味のあるデータ統合技術はあるか？<\/SPAN><\/LI>関連する教訓<\/SPAN><\/LI>ツールや技術のクロスドメイン共有の機会は？<\/SPAN>データサイエンティスト／可視化専門家と海洋探査者との関係を融合させるための場やアプローチは何か？<\/SPAN><\/LI><\/UL><\/LI><\/UL><\/P>Esri Ocean GIS Forumも意見を述べることができます！<\/STRONG> <\/SPAN>以下のREPLY<\/STRONG>ボタンを使ってこれらのトピックについてご意見ください。私はそれらをNOEF主催者に伝え、報告書への掲載可能性を探ります！ GeoNetへのログイン支援はこちら。<\/A><\/P><\/P> 最終的に2017年NOEFは、データサイエンティストと海洋探査者が協力して従来の海洋探査概念を拡大し、新たな発見、現代および歴史的データへのより良いアクセス、公衆とのより良い関わりを推進するための提言をまとめます。これらは過去4回のフォーラム（添付）からの提言も拡張します。<\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

Thanks again for this great summary of the proceedings.  The questions you pose are good ones, and difficult ones to answer.  As technology gets better, we'll be able to make better analyses and have access to more data- but we need to be mindful of the gap between scientists and public that this will produce.  I think that however much we want to use as much data as possible, we need to always be wary of small sample sizes, sparse data, and the problems they might pose.  Thanks again- very thought provoking and important questions.

Bridging that gap between the ocean exploration community respecting data science, and visualization communities, does represent a way to make sure we're moving in the same direction as that puck. The ocean is resilient, despite human induced influence. The more advanced our technology becomes, the more we will be able to continue moving forward with standardized, robust, and practical global ecosystems classification and mapping GIS tools for our planet. We are a dynamic, but ever growing and advancing civilization.

Dawn, thank you for this summary as I was unable to attend the conference.  Data extrapolation is important in the work I do as I have much that comes from Citizen Scientists.  With that, accuracy is also a key consideration with that.  Do you have any particular resources that you can point me to that gives best practices for using that type of data from the public?  I do have some but and always looking for more, thank you.
