InstantKarma

Overview
The project will improve the collection, preservation, utility and dissemination of provenance information within the NASA Earth Science community.  It will customize and integrate Karma, a proven provenance tool into NASA data production by collecting and disseminating provenance of Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing (AMSR-E) standard data products, intially focusing on Sea Ice.  The plan is to engage the Sea Ice science team and user community and adhere to the Open Provenance Model (OPM).

D2I: Temporal Data Mining of Scientific Data Provenance Peng Chen, Ph.D. Student, School of Informatics and Computing, Research Assistant, Data to Insight Center, Indiana University. Provenance of digital scientific data is an important piece of the metadata of the data object. It can however grow voluminous quickly because the granularity level of capture can be high. It can also be quite feature rich. We propose a representation of the provenance data based on logical time that reduces the feature space. Creating time and frequency domain...

Key Provenance of Earth Science Observational Data Products As the sheer volume of data increases, particularly evidenced in the earth and environmental sciences, local arrangements for sharing data need to be replaced with reliable records about the what, who, how, and where of a data set or collection. This is frequently called the provenance of a data set. While observational data processing systems in the earth sciences have a long history of capturing metadata about the processing pipeline, current processes are limited in both what is captured and...
