| Zusammenfassung |
| The preparation of heterogeneous datasets for scientific analysis is still a demanding task.
Data preprocessing for hydrological models typically involves gathering datasets from
different sources, extensive work within geoinformation systems, data transformation,
the generation of computational grids and the definition of initial and boundary
conditions. V-FOR-WaTer, a standardized and scalable data hub with compatible analysis
tools, will ease comprehensive studies and significantly reduce data preparation
time.
The idea behind V-FOR-WaTer is to bring together various datasets (e.g. point
measurements, 2D/3D data, time series data) from different sources (e.g. gathered in research
projects, or as part of regular monitoring of state offices) and to provide common as well as
innovative scaling tools in space and time to generate a coherent data grid. Each dataset holds
detailed standardized metadata to ensure usability of the data, offer a comprehensive search
function and provide reference information for appropriate citation of the dataset
creators.
V-FOR-WaTer includes a basis of data and tools, but its purpose is to grow by users who
extend the virtual research environment with their own tools and research data. Researchers
who upload new data or tools can receive a digital object identifier, or protect their data and
tools from others until publication. Access to data and tools provided from V-FOR-WaTer
happens via an easy-to-use web portal. Due to its modular architecture the portal is ready to
be extended with new tools and features and also offers interfaces to Matlab, Python and
R. |
