Description
Summary:We present an E-Research platform for studying the impact of changes in the ecosystem on oceans and marine life. We have developed the Platform for Ocean Knowledge Management (POKM) that offers a suite of services for researchers to (a) access, share, integrate and operationalize the data, models and knowledge resources available at multiple sites; (b) collaborate in joint scientific research experiments by sharing resources, results, expertise and models; and (c) form a virtual community of researchers. We take a knowledge management approach to establish conceptual, terminological and data level interoperability between ocean and marine life science communities so that they can collaborate to conduct complex experiments. POKM is supported by the CANARIE high bandwidth network enables rapid sharing of high-volume data from distributed repositories to users across the world.
