Abstract
Abstract. The studies of recent crustal movements are based on analyses of repeated geodetic measurements, and their combination with results of geophysical and geological investigations. It is obvious that a single data producer can not produce useful datasets and information without integrating data from others because one scientist’s results become another’s data. So, the problem to be solved naturally has an interdisciplinary character. However, Earth scientists traditionally work on one aspect of the problem and they have a tradition of sharing of data but they are willing to share it if asked. Because of this, the resources are being wasted in duplicative efforts. However, the goal is for data to evolve it into information, and then into knowledge as quickly and effectively as possible. In order to do this, calculations and analysis need to bring to the desktops of researchers, decision-makers, and educators. The aim of this study is to develop a service-oriented architecture (SOA) based Geographic Information System (GIS) that enables linking and sharing multidisciplinary Earth science data, tools, and software and to provide a wide range of users access to the system and in this way to build an easy-to-use interactive access to data and analysis environment to study earthquakes in Turkey.
Highlights
Building mechanisms which are capable to share these data and tools is the key for the generation of Earth science research
65 GPS velocities come from GPS campaigns performed between the years of 2003 and 2005 in Marmara region by Geodesy Department of Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute of Bogazici University (BU)
These campaigns were performed by a collaborative project among BU, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), TUBITAK-MRC (Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council - Marmara Research Center), GCM (General Command of Mapping), and ITU (Istanbul Technical University)
Summary
Building mechanisms which are capable to share these data and tools is the key for the generation of Earth science research These platforms include databases, networks, visualization, analytical tools, computational resources, and so on. Some of them are Earth sciences applications including GIS and web-mapping implementations from major institutions in the world such as US Geological Survey, Geosciences Network, and the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology, and European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre. Applications include interactive maps showing location of the earthquakes, seismicity of the region, seismic hazard and earthquake density, GPS sites, their displacement history and some geophysical data. The application of this study is built in a serviceoriented architecture for reusability and interoperability of its components
