Steps

Raw data handling to generate both information and knowledge is a frequent process in the LTER-sites. We call a model to the steps required to transform raw data. ModeleR, is a model repository accessible from the web, which enables the user to design, document, manage, and execute environmental models: Metadata about the different steps to transform the data. Manage the workflows of Kerpler for automatize the proccess.

Objectives Development a system that we allow set the metadata for environmental models. Delegate the execution of a workflow that implement an environmental model. Use the raw data of an Information System. Feedback of results on environmental model to Information System.

No systematic analyses, that create

Reports, slides, videos, etc.

in each of these spatial entities monitoring methods are applied to obtain

Raw data

that are stored in relational databases, obtaining

Queryable information

that is converted into useful knowledge through two different routes A scientific workflow management system Pressure, response and state indicators

that is properly documented using two international metadata standards

Ecological metadata language (EML)
