Theme 6. Others Developing an Online GIS Repository for Permafrost Data Christopher W. Helm (University of Colorado, Boulder, National Snow and Ice Data Center) Abstract: Much of the permafrost data available over the Internet is hard to retrieve and difficult to convert into formats that allow users to efficiently distribute and manipulate the data. I am proposing to promote the development of an online Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Compliant Web Mapping Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS) that will act as the prototype for the possible creation of a long-term site for housing permafrost data. The prototype will be an online tool that allows users to view available permafrost data in a spatial context, and will allow users of permafrost data to explore, query, and download data in a number of GIS-compatible formats. Data housed at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) will be converted and ingested into a spatially compatible database (PostgreSQL/PostGIS) and served over the Internet via the open source mapping software MapServer. MapServer allows for the development of user-friendly and intuitive mapping interfaces that take advantage of OGC protocols for sharing data. Being OGC compliant means that other OGC compliant services can easily integrate data provided by this prototype service into their own services. It is important that an intuitive interface be developed to enable the distribution and sharing of permafrost data and to provide a place for those searching for, and creating, such data to have a convenient place to share information. This Web Interface will be developed as a prototype to be showcased at the Asian Conference on Permafrost. It is the hope of the author that by attending the conference users of permafrost data will contribute important feedback on the feasibility and need for such a utility. The major benefit for the author to attend the Asian Conference on Permafrost is the prospect that more scientists will become interested in such a site and may be willing to contribute to the development of such a service. To the knowledge of the author, this interface is the first GIS web-based application that integrates permafrost data from the Frozen Ground Data Center (FGDC) at NSIDC. This conference is an excellent opportunity to support the Frozen Ground Data Center, while promoting GIS applications and the distribution of permafrost data.

212 Facilitating International Scientific Exchange, the Development of Effective Pre- and Post-Conference Websites Gary Whitton (Engineering and Environmental Internet Solutions, LLC) Abstract: With the emergence of the Internet in the 1990's, the world was opened to a new and broad reaching medium that allowed geographically dispersed groups of scientists to share information, and collaborate like never before. The Internet, like the electronic document revolution before it, also offered a mechanism to reduce the costs of developing, reviewing and distributing information. These developments opened a door for universities, associations, and conference organizers to fulfill their missions like never before. However, along with its benefits, the Internet presents many challenges. The Internet is a continuously changing medium, with many different user groups whose computing environments, cultural backgrounds, and technical know-how vary greatly. To build an effective conference website requires an understanding of the needs of its potential audience, so as to avoid mistakes that may limit a site's effectiveness. This presentation shall discuss the author's experience developing conference websites, and electronic proceedings for the American Water Resources Association and the United States Permafrost Association, as well as the numerous International standards, and techniques that have been developed over time to maximize website usability and accessibility. Frozen Ground Data Management for the International Polar Year and Beyond Mark A. Parsons (World Data Center for Glaciology, Boulder/IPY Data Policy and Management Subcommittee) Abstract: Data and information on frozen ground collected over many decades and in the future are critical for fundamental process understanding, environmental change detection and impact assessment, model validation, and engineering application in seasonal frost and permafrost regions. However, many of these data sets and information remain widely dispersed and relatively unavailable to the national and international science and engineering community, and some are in danger of being lost permanently. The International Permafrost Association (IPA) has long recognized the inherent and lasting value of data and information and has worked to prioritize and assess frozen ground data requirements and to identify critical data sets for scientific and engineering purposes. In 1996, a working group of the IPA established the Global Geocryological Data (GGD) system to facilitate the availability of permafrost and related data. In 2002, the World Data Center (WDC) for Glaciology, Boulder in collaboration with the International Arctic Research Center (IARC) enhanced the GGD system by establishing the Frozen Ground Data Center (FGDC) to continue the IPA strategy for data and information management and to meet the requirements by cold regions science, engineering, and modeling community.
