NSF Arctic Data Center

The Arctic Data Center is the primary data and software repository for the Arctic section of NSF Polar Programs. The Center helps the research community to reproducibly preserve and discover all products of NSF-funded research in the Arctic, including data, metadata, software, documents, and provenance that links these together. The repository is open to contributions from NSF Arctic investigators, and data are released under an open license (CC-BY, CC0, depending on the choice of the contributor). All science, engineering, and education research supported by the NSF Arctic research program are included, such as Natural Sciences (Geoscience, Earth Science, Oceanography, Ecology, Atmospheric Science, Biology, etc.) and Social Sciences (Archeology, Anthropology, Social Science, etc.). Key to the initiative is the partnership between NCEAS at UC Santa Barbara, DataONE, and NOAA’s NCEI, each of which bring critical capabilities to the Center. Infrastructure from the successful NSF-sponsored DataONE federation of data repositories enables data replication to NCEI, providing both offsite and institutional diversity that are critical to long term preservation.

北极数据中心是国家科学基金会极地项目北极部分的主要数据与软件存储库。该中心致力于协助科研界实现对国家科学基金会资助的北极研究所有成果的可重复性保存与发现，包括数据、元数据、软件、文档以及将这些内容相互关联的溯源信息。该存储库对国家科学基金会北极研究人员开放，数据发布遵循开放许可协议（CC-BY，CC0，取决于贡献者的选择）。所有由国家科学基金会北极研究项目支持的科学研究、工程研究和教育研究均包含在内，如自然科学（地球科学、地球科学、海洋学、生态学、大气科学、生物学等）和社会科学（考古学、人类学、社会科学等）。该倡议的关键在于加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校的NCEAS、DataONE以及美国国家海洋和大气管理局的NCEI之间的合作，每个合作伙伴均向中心贡献了关键能力。由国家科学基金会赞助的DataONE数据存储库联盟的基础设施使得数据能够复制至NCEI，这为长期保存提供了至关重要的异地和机构多样性。
