摘要


過去生態學家都要花大量的時間與人力以收集田野資料,現在已經可以利用感測網技術自動收集野外資料並傳回實驗室,但新的挑戰是如何將所蒐集到的資料做檢索、控制、建檔與分析,再者,對於感測器所收集的資料品保與檢測也欠缺。然而,當生態學家以自動感測器來收集資料,若有以後設資料為基礎的資料品質檢測與分析系統是對研究有非常大的好處。針對感測資料的管理與品保問題,我們發展了一種以生態後設資料(EML)為基礎的線上應用工具,透過指定的生態後設資料並上載資料進行檢核與修正,進而在網頁上執行R統計分析。因此,研究人員不需要自行安裝任何的統計軟體便可以在網頁上直接進行資料的整理控制、計算與繪圖。

Most traditional methods used by ecologists to collect field data are time and manpower intensive. The development of sensor networks, however, allows sensors to gather data in the field and deliver them to the laboratory automatically. But the shift toward this data collection paradigm in turn has created new challenges for indexing, navigating, documenting, and analyzing the data. Furthermore, standard mechanisms for analysis and quality assurance checking of sensor-collected data are lacking. Therefore, an automated data quality checking and analyzing system based on metadata would have tremendous advantages for ecologists when they use sensor-collected data. To address the management and quality assurance problems of sensor data, we have developed a tool based on the Ecological Metadata Language (EML). This tool allows researchers to access EML, upload data, check data quality, and then run R code on the server. Researchers can use it for data manipulation, calculation, and graphical display online without the need to install any statistical software.
