Design and Implementation of a Geoscience & Technology Marketplace Web Portal

Abstract

The geoscience & technology marketplace aims to provide a common geoscientific data and publication sharing and transaction platform to improve the flexibility of carrying out high performance large scale scientific computing problems and facilitating the experts to carry out their research work. To achieve this goal, the geoscience & technology marketplace builds a web based information management pipeline to support end to end scientific data processing in an interactive fashion. So, as a resource management server, the marketplace provides the following major modules: gis data uploading and tiling; relational database for indexing and tracking of datasets; browsing and editing the stored gis data and their details; data processing of selected areas on google map and its result visualization and management; data transaction. The platform maintains the research credits for each register for data purchase and records each transaction produces when he buys some data; researchers' publication uploading and management; relational database for indexing and tracking of uploaded publications; browsing and editing of the stored publication data and their details and publication keywords extraction service for purchased publications, etc.
