  2. Overview • Infrastructure for IRA • Protocols • Collaboratories • Networks

  3. Infrastructure for IRA • Definitions of infrastructure • Foundation or basic framework of a system or organization • Resources (e.g., personnel, rules, software) required for an activity • Infrastructure components for IRA • Protocols • Collaboratories • Networks

  4. Protocols • Definition of protocol • Guidelines for applying methods to problems • Protocols should: • Be standardized, flexible, dynamic • Harmonize data, models, scales • Example: agricultural vulnerability to drought

  5. Collaboratories • Definition of collaboratory • A Web-based environment fostering remote collaboration • Collaboratories should: • Link sites • Link scientists • Provide tools • Three examples of collaboratory tools
