Zusammenfassung:
Earth System Science is an outstanding example of a field of research
which yields important results especially when conducted in multidisciplinary
and global cooperation. The International Polar Year and
its expected legacy are used as an example to illustrate this assertion
and the financial and intellectual expense invested. It follows that any
effort to make more out of the globally distributed – if not fragmented
– results and to network the knowledge gained would be valuable indeed.
An experimental implementation of such a system, connecting
journal articles to datasets, expeditions and researchers involved, is introduced.
Some developments necessary to implement comparable
and more powerful systems on a global scale are discussed.
