ScienceCache was originally developed as a mobile device data collection application for a citizen science project. ScienceCache communicates with a centralized database that facilitates near-real-time use of collected data that enhances efficiency of data collection in the field. We improved ScienceCache by creating a flexible, reliable platform that reduces effort required to set up a survey and manage incoming data. Now, ScienceCache can be easily adapted for citizen science projects as well as restricted to specific users for private internal research. We improved scEdit, a web application interface, to allow for creation of more-complex data collection forms and survey routes to support scientific studies....

Data Basin: Data Basin is science-based mapping and analysis platform currently in use by a number of LCCs, agencies, and organizations.
This poster is a product of the 2010 CDI project: Data Upload, Registry and Access Project. It was presented at the CDI Data Blast Poster Presentation 2012 in Reston, VA.
The Fort Collins Science Center Web Applications Team, the Core Science Analytics and Synthesis unit of the Core Science Systems Mission Area, and a North Central Climate Science Center/NCAR/NOAA partnership group collaborated on a set of automated tools to allow remapping of the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata standards to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) metadata standards. This project addressed the challenge of expediting the conversion of millions of metadata records in multiple USGS catalogs that run the risk of being left in a deprecated transfer format. The project set the stage for metadata conversions by: 1. Providing roadmaps and automated processes to remap FGDC...
This fact sheet describes work accomplished by the 2010 CDI project: Data Upload, Registry and Access Project (a capability of ScienceBase). The CDI Upload, Registry and Access Tool was added as a core capability to ScienceBase. As a leading science and information agency and in fulfillment of its mission to provide reliable scientific information to describe and understand the Earth, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) ensures that all scientific data are effectively hosted, adequately described, and appropriately accessible to scientists, collaborators, and the general public. To succeed in this task, the USGS established the Community for Data Integration (CDI) to address data and information management issues...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
