Показать описание
Speakers: agentrickardDave ReidSean Buscayeneko1907
The International Long-Term Ecological Research Network (ILTER) a global network of research sites located in a variety of ecosystems in order to help understand environmental change across the globe. ILTER's focus is on long-term, site-based research and monitoring. ILTER member stations gather and record gigabytes of data each year.
ILTER can contribute to solving international ecological and socio-economic problems through question and problem-driven research, with its unique ability to design collaborative, site-based projects, to compare data from a global network of sites, and to detect global trends.
To fulfill its mission, ILTER needs a reliable, extensible platform for data storage, management, and distribution. In 2008, a handful of US-LTER sites and Oak Ridge National Lab developed the first version of the Drupal Ecological Information Management System (DEIMS) to provide a Drupal platform that sustains our research community.
During this case study, we'll explore three main aspects of the project, and try to show you how to achieve your audacious goals.
Inigo San Gil, Research Associate Professor at the University of New Mexico and the project sponsor, will introduce the business challenges and research goals of the project. Taking a high-level view, Inigo will walk through the project's genesis, how his team got major institutions to work together, and the vision that made the project a success.
Dave Reid, Senior Engineer at Lullabot, will walk through a technical overview of the project, with an emphasis on how to map requirements to Drupal functionality.
