NSF OAC Webinar: Advancing the capability for collaborative discovery through data and model sharing: The HydroShare example.

This presentation will describe the development of the HydroShare (www.hydroshare.org) web-based hydrologic information system operated by the Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science Inc. (CUAHSI, www.cuahsi.org). HydroShare has been developed as a domain specific repository for the hydrologic science research community to share and publish data and models such that they are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR principles). As software, HydroShare was developed using an open development model with contributions from developers ranging from hydrology graduate students to seasoned developers. As infrastructure, HydroShare has been developed with interoperability in mind to serve as a component in an ecosystem of interacting cyberinfrastructure elements. HydroShare is a system for advancing hydrologic science by enabling individual researchers to more easily and freely share products resulting from their research, not just the scientific publication summarizing a study, but also the data, models, and workflow scripts used to create the scientific publication. It accepts data from anybody, and supports FAIR principles that help enable researchers meet the requirements of open data management plans. HydroShare is comprised of two sets of functionality: (1) a repository for users to share and publish data and models in a variety of formats, and (2) tools (web apps) that can act on content in HydroShare and support web-based access to compute capability. Together these serve as a platform for collaboration and computation that integrates data storage, organization, discovery, and analysis through web applications (web apps). HydroShare allows researchers to employ services beyond the desktop to make data storage and manipulation more reliable and scalable, while improving their ability to collaborate and reproduce results.

本演示将阐述由大学促进水文科学协会（Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science Inc., 简称CUAHSI，网址：www.cuahsi.org）运营的基于Web的水文信息系统HydroShare（网址：www.hydroshare.org）的开发历程。HydroShare被开发为一个特定领域的数据存储库，旨在为水文科学研究领域提供数据与模型的共享与发布平台，确保数据与模型遵循可发现性、可访问性、互操作性和可重复使用性（FAIR原则）。作为软件，HydroShare采用开放开发模式，汇集了从水文研究生到资深开发者的贡献。作为基础设施，HydroShare在设计时考虑了互操作性，旨在作为交互式网络基础设施元素生态系统的一部分。HydroShare通过简化个人研究人员分享其研究成果的方式，推动水文科学的发展，不仅包括总结研究的科学出版物，还包括创建科学出版物所使用的数据、模型和工作流脚本。它接受来自任何人的数据，并支持FAIR原则，有助于研究者满足开放数据管理计划的要求。HydroShare由两组功能组成：（1）用户可以在此共享和发布各种格式的数据与模型的存储库；（2）能够对HydroShare中的内容进行操作并支持基于Web访问计算能力的工具（Web应用）。这些功能共同构成了一个协作与计算平台，通过Web应用整合了数据存储、组织、发现和分析。HydroShare允许研究者利用桌面之外的服务，提高数据存储和处理的可信度和可扩展性，同时增强他们的协作能力和结果复现能力。
