Abstract

We are developing cyberinfrastructure to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing for marine Integrated Ecosystem Assessments (IEAs). The main tool is based on a web application (IPython Notebook) that provides the ability to work on very diverse and heterogeneous data and information sources, providing an effective way to share the source code used to generate data products and associated metadata, as well as to track the workflow provenance to allow the reproducibility of a data product.
