"This book is a pivotal resource for the latest research on the collection of environmental data for sustainability initiatives and the associate challenges with this data acquisition, highlighting various technological, scientific, semantic, and semiotic perspectives"--
Oceanographers and other environmental scientists, and engineers engaged with technology used in such fields, explore theoretical and historical aspects of cross-domain data management as applied to the marine sciences, technologies that have been utilized or developed in order to apply these theories, and cases studies illustrating the practical application of both the theory and the technology to sustainable economic and social development. Their topics include balancing formalization and representation in cross-domain data management for sustainable development, documenting provenance for reproducible marine ecosystem assessment in open science, repositioning data management near data acquisition, and providing oceanographic data and information to Pacific Island communities.
