  1. The ICDP Information Network Telework and Information Management in Scientific Drilling Projects Jens Klump and Ronald Conze GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam

  2. What is the ICDP? • The International Continental Scientific Drilling Program is a multinational programme to further and fund geosciences in the field of continental scientific drilling. • Members are: Austria, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Germany, Iceland, Japan, Mexico, Norway, Poland, USA, as well as UNESCO, ODP and Schlumberger Inc.

  3. ICDP Participants and Projects

  4. ICDP Goals • Scientific Drilling gives us an insight into the processes and structures inside the earth. • The drilling locations are chosen as key sites of the earth system. • The results give us the information we need to develop responsible and sustainable strategies to manage our environment and Earth’s natural resources.

  5. ICDP Research Themes

  6. ICDP Project Life Cycle drill phase scientific evaluation publication phase

  7. Telework in ICDP Projects • ICDP activities are international collaborative projects. • Data are collected at a central site and redistributed via the internet. • Communication and data access within the ICDP Information Network are channelled through ICDP project portals.

  8. The ICDP Information Network • To facilitate telework within the ICDP, the ICDP Information Network has two main aims: • Provide project information and communication tools for all members of the science team. • Allow project members to access and analyse complex project data and derived data products. • These services are integrated into project portals.

  11. ICDP Information Network Basics ICDP Information Network Drilling Information System (DIS) = data acquisition Project Portal = data dissemination

  12. General On-Site Data Flow

  13. Example: LakeDIS Data Model • Modules: • Project metadata • Core tracking • Sample tracking • Analytical data and metadata

  14. Data Access through Web Portals • The power of a database system does not lie in storing data, but in its ability to recompile data in a new and meaningful way. • Besides the provision of simple data tables, the database has to serve as a base for more advanced tools for the display and analysis of data. • Access to data can be aided by project portals.

  15. What are Portals? • Access to a broad array of online resources and services. • Recognisable topic hierarchies. • Powerful search technologies. • Personalised services. • Configurable presentation. • Integration of heterogeneous corporate resources.

  16. ICDP Portal Services • ICDP Clearinghouse • Data Warehouse / Log Data Mart • Scientific Visualisation • Online Map Server / Online GIS • Communication Tools • Virtual Crust Data Mart* • Bore(w)hole Plan (online planning tool)* * Work in progress

  18. Example: HSDP Log Data Mart

  19. Example: Visualisation • Data from the ICDP Data Warehouse can be visualised in interactive diagrams.

  20. Example: Online Map Service • Interactive maps as a spatial query tool. • Visualisation of data in their spatial context.

  21. From Data to Knowledge • Data management is only the first step. • Advanced tools are needed to allow researchers to extract information from datasets. • Communication about the newly gained information creates knowledge.

  22. Creation of Added Value Data → Information → Knowledge publish associate understand distribute extract describe provide model process maintain generate record Knowledge Knowledge Management Information Management Value / Benefit Information Data Management Database Data

  23. Future of the ICDP Information Network • Development of project portal frameworks • Resource Integration • Service Integration • Knowledge Integration

  24. The ICDP Information Network: Summary The ICDP Information Network is a system for telework in geosciences. It offers: • Management of data acquired by a globally distributed group of researchers, • Access to complex scientific drilling project data for all members of the scientific team, worldwide, • Tools to communicate the newly gained information. The ICDP Information Network is a first step towards knowledge management in geosciences.
