Barrow Area Information Database (BAID) data services prototype

This data set comprises the artifacts of an applied research effort to identify ways in which archived data may be made more readily available to the Barrow Area Information Database and similar cyberinfrastructure implementations. A lightweight RESTful data service was developed to serve tab-separated ASCII data as a JSON HTTP response. The data service thus demonstrates one option for delivering data to BAID, making it possible to associate data products with the research site from which they were collected. The code for this server is made available as a zip file. Two posters describe the project goals and lessons learned. Note that the data in this project were derived from the Barrow Atqasuk ITEX Detailed Microclimate 1998-2008 dataset (doi.org/doi:10.18739/A2TW6V) and were not collected as part of the BAID Data Services Prototype effort. A codemeta.json file describes the project software in a machine-readable format (this file is also included in the zip file containing the source code). The latest version of the project code is available at https://github.com/nsidc/baid-prototype.

本数据集包含一项应用研究项目的产出成果，该研究旨在探索使存档数据更便捷地供巴罗地区信息数据库（Barrow Area Information Database，以下简称BAID）及同类网络基础设施平台使用的可行路径。研究团队开发了一款轻量化表述性状态转移（RESTful）数据服务，可将制表符分隔的ASCII数据以JSON格式的HTTP响应形式返回。该数据服务为向BAID交付数据提供了一种可选方案，使得数据产品能够与其采集所在的研究站点建立关联。该服务器的代码以ZIP压缩包形式公开。另有两篇海报阐述了本项目的目标与实践经验教训。需注意，本项目所用数据源自《巴罗阿特萨斯克ITEX 1998-2008年详细微气候数据集》（DOI: 10.18739/A2TW6V），并非BAID数据服务原型项目的原生采集数据。项目附带一份codemeta.json文件，以机器可读格式描述了本项目所用软件，该文件同样包含在源代码压缩包中。本项目代码的最新版本可通过https://github.com/nsidc/baid-prototype获取。
