Quantitiative analysis is at the center of all science, and represents the main point where scientists utilize data and produce derived data products. Thus, the analysis and modeling tools in the Investigator Toolkit will represent the most important suite of tools for accessing data from DataONE and contributing results to the DataONE Member Nodes.
We will select a variety of both general purpose and discipline-specific analysis and modeling tools, and will incorporate support for the DataONE service API into these tools so that they can seamlessly access DataONE.
