University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
The objective of this project is to advance science in information management, focusing in particular on geospatial information. It addresses the development of concepts, algorithms, and system architectures to enable users on a grid to query, analyze, and contribute to multivariate, quality-aware geospatial information. The approach consists of three complementary research areas: (1) establishing a statistical framework for assessing geospatial data quality; (2) developing uncertainty-based query processing capabilities; and (3) supporting the development of space- and accuracy-aware adaptive systems for geospatial datasets. The results of this project will support the extension of the concept of the computational grid to facilitate …
Workshop On U.S.-Hungarian Research Collaboration To Address It Challenges For 21st Century Society, Anthony Stefanidis
Workshop On U.S.-Hungarian Research Collaboration To Address It Challenges For 21st Century Society, Anthony Stefanidis
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
This collaborative grant workshop lays a foundation for building joint US-Hungarian research projects. The proposed set of activities is an outgrowth of ongoing discussions between NSF program managers and Hungarian Research Scientists visiting NSF in the Fall of 2002. These discussions culminated in Hungarian researchers attending and participating in the annual meeting of digital government PI's and their government agency partners in May 2003 (dgo2003). Two US researchers who organized an International Digital Government Research Collaborations panel at dgo2003, in discussion with the Hungarian participants, accepted an invitation by the Hungarians to organize a small group of US researchers to …

This incubation proposal addresses the issue of integrating large, diverse, and autonomous collections of scientific data within a complex institutional setting. The goal is to convert these autonomous collections into a shareable repository that supports synthesis of data through new metadata structures based on events and processes. The institutional setting is the data and data-gathering activities of over 80 agencies, NGOS, and academic and research institutions operating within the Gulf of Maine watershed. The metadata development will be coordinated by library and spatial information scientists working jointly with domain scientists. An essential task of this incubation effort will be the …
