Structure, sharing and preservation of scientific experiment data

In mesoscale meteorology, the quantity of information has increased significantly due to sophisticated data distribution schemes combined with developments in sensors and instruments capable of monitoring the lower several kilometers of the atmosphere at higher levels of resolution. This paper introduces myLEAD, a personalized information management tool for geoscience users. MyLEAD eases the data and information overload on the scientist by providing explicit solutions to the problems of structure, sharing, and preservation. This paper describes strategies within the myLEAD system to personalize data product and representation which ultimately leads to personalized workspaces and collaborative environments. We also include experimental results from some of the experiments that we conducted.
