Data integration

The platform treats data integration as a scientific task rather than simple file aggregation.

Scientific question

How can heterogeneous community, institutional, geophysical, hydrogeological and Earth-observation data be combined without losing provenance or uncertainty?

Methods and evidence

Use stable identifiers, controlled vocabularies, normalized units, quality flags, access rules and explicit source lineage.

Expected scientific outputs

  • Harmonized data
  • Provenance records
  • Quality controls
  • Evidence-coverage products

Limits and safeguards

Harmonization must not erase source-specific meaning; transformed values remain traceable to originals.
