Abstract [en]

Adaptation to climate change is becoming more urgent, but the wealth of knowledge that informs adaptation planning and decision-making is not used to its full potential. Top-down approaches to knowledge production are identified as one important reason for the gap between science and practice and are criticized for not meeting the needs of intended users. In response to this challenge, there is a growing interest in the creation of user-oriented and actionable climate services to support adaptation. At the same time, recent research suggests that greater efforts are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of knowledge co-production processes and the best criteria by which to gauge the quality of knowledge outcomes, while also considering different stakeholder perspectives. This paper explores these issues through a critical assessment of the quality of knowledge for adaptation generated from a climate services co-design process in two case studies in Sweden. The study draws on experiences from a 5-year research collaboration in which natural and social science researchers, together with local stakeholders, co-designed climate services to support climate adaptation planning and decision-making. The well-established knowledge quality criteria of credibility, legitimacy, saliency, usability, and usefulness remain relevant, but are not sufficient to capture factors relating to whether and how the knowledge actually is applied by climate change adaptation planners and decision-makers. We observe that case-specific circumstances beyond the scope of the co-design process, including the decision-making context as well as non-tangible outcomes, also play crucial roles that should be accounted for in the knowledge assessment processes.

Abstract [en]

Many scientific experiments produce an enormous amount of data that needs to be explored. Scientific workflows and tools for managing workflows have been designed to streamline the computational processes that manipulate this data, from acquisition to analysis. However, the fact that each system has its own workflow format has greatly hampered efficient sharing and re-use. To address this problem, we propose a general model for workflows, based on OPM, which combines features from popular scientific workflow systems. We use this model to build infrastructure that supports system-agnostic workflow repositories. We describe the implementation of the infrastructure and present an experimental evaluation of its performance. We show that the proposed model and its implementation provide efficient support for queries over large repositories.

Abstract [en]

Modern relational database management systems provide hybrid XML storage, combining relational and native technologies. Hybrid storage offers many design alternatives for XML data and in this paper we explore how to aid the user in effective design of hybrid storage. In particular we investigate how the XML schema and statistical information about the data can support the storage design process. We present an extended version of our tool HShreX that uses statistical information about a data to enable fast evaluation of alternative hybrid design solutions. In addition we show the benefit of the approach by a first evaluation where we discuss how the tool aids in the storage design and evaluation process.

In this paper, we extend this work by presenting more details about the tool and results of an extended evaluation. In particular, this paper gives a detailed presentation on how the tool aids in the storage design and evaluation process.

Abstract [en]

Scientific exploration has become a data-intensive process, and increasing amounts of data need to be stored, analyzed, and shared. XML can help address these needs. As concrete examples from systems biology show, native XML storage can be combined with traditional relational databases to offer an effective, usable solution for storing scientific data.

Abstract [en]

In the field of bioinformatics, there exists a large number of web service providers and many competing standards regarding how data should be represented and interfaced. However, these web services are often hard to use for a non-programmer and it can be especially hard to understand how different services can be used together to create scientific workflows. In this paper we have performed a literature study to identify problems involved in developing interoperable webservices for the bioinformatics community and steps taken by other projects to address them. We have also conducted a case study by developing our own bioinformatic web service to further investigate these problems. Based on our case study we have identified a number of design issues important to consider when designing web services. The paper is concluded by discussing current approaches aimed at making web services easier to use and by presenting our own proposal of an easy-to-use solution for integrating information from web services.

Abstract [en]

In the field of bioinformatics, there exists a large number of web service providers and many competing standards regarding how data should be represented and interfaced. However, these web services are often hard to use for a non-expert programmer and it can be especially hard to see how different services can be used together to create scientific workflows. In this paper we have performed a literature study to identify problems involved in developing interoperable web services for the bioinformatics community and steps taken by other projects to, at least in part, address them. We have also conducted a case study by developing our own bioinformatic web service to further investigate these problems.
