Ecosystem Approach Community of Practice: ICIS
ICIS
Current Situation
The ICIS VREVirtual Research Environment. is a complete data-management suit that exploits many of the D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative. technologies.
It allows the upload of data from a variety of sources (csv, workspace, SDMX), and offers many data management facilities for sorting, filtering, merging, etc. It also includes advanced work-flow support, with each modification captured as a 'metadata' type information. the resulting TimeSeries are rich objects, which can be:
- geospatially explicit (georeferenced) and diplayed in an integrated MapViewer;
- exported to an integrated R-environment;
- saved and reused in the integrated reporting environment, such as in FCPPS;
- etc.
An extensive description of the requirements is available through the D4ScienceAn e-Infrastructure operated by the D4Science.org initiative.-II wiki: ICIS-Senario
