The VesselActivitiesAnalyzer Virtual Research Environment

Description

The VesselActivitiesAnalyzer Virtual Research EnvironmentA ''system'' with the following distinguishing features: ''(i)'' it is a Web-based working environment; ''(ii)'' it is tailored to serve the needs of a Community of Practice; ''(iii)'' it is expected to provide a community of practice with the whole array of commodities needed to accomplish the community’s goal(s); ''(iv)'' it is open and flexible with respect to the overall service offering and lifetime; and ''(v)'' it promotes fine-grained controlled sharing of both intermediate and final research results by guaranteeing ownership, provenance, and attribution. is conceived to provide its users with a working environment focused on gCube facilities for managing vessel trajectories. This environment support users in loading and curating their own vessel trajectories, enriching such data with bathymetry and FAO Area, sharing with co-workers, analysing such objects by producing maps on vessel activities and fishing monthly effort.

Functionality

The main facilities this VREVirtual Research Environment. offers are:

• Vessel Activities Management: to enable users to perform data mining tasks on Vessel trajectories. In enable data managers to import and transform CSV files representing trajectories into well-defined tabular data, to enrich such tabular data with information on FAO areas and bathymetry, to perform mining tasks aiming at deriving the vessel activity by relying on vessel speed and bathymetry. Besides these specific operations, the environment supports the analysis of the data by enabling a user to (i) perform operations like grouping and filtering, (ii) producing charts and GIS maps (if the data have geographic features) and (iii) analysing the data via an R environment;

• Workspace: to enable every user to store and organise the information objects he/she is interested to work with. In addition to that, the user is allowed to collaborate with other users by sharing objects and messages;

• VREVirtual Research Environment. Management: to enable authorised users (i.e. VREVirtual Research Environment. Managers) to manage other users using or willing to access the VREVirtual Research Environment.. VREVirtual Research Environment. Managers are enabled to (i) authorise users in accessing the VREVirtual Research Environment., (ii) assign or withdraw roles to users, (iii) remove users, and (iv) send a communication to the current users.
