Collaborative Oceanography and Virtual Experiments
Abstract
The long term goals are develop an online collaboration environment that supports cooperative development and operation of complex environmental field programs by distributed interdisciplinary teams. We are using these tools to facilitate ITOP virtual experiments and the ITOP field program, and packaging the collaboration tools for re-use by ONR and other entities. The primary technological objectives of this effort are to provide core tools to facilitate data aggregation and discussion, to provide tools that integrate data and analysis with discussions, to provide graphical overviews that show linkages between discussions and intersections of data with discussions, and to provide these tools in a reusable package that can be easily reused in future ONR field experiments and observatories. This combination addresses a unique need of scientific collaboration, and will greatly improve the ability of investigators to rapidly understand not just data, but also the discussions and decisions based upon that data.
