MetPetDB (Metamorphic Petrology Database) is a database and collaboration suitedeveloped at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute through a previous Geoinformatics grant. MetPetDB is designed for archival of published data for ready access, an access point for researchers and students to the enormous volume of available information, a collaboration tool among researchers working in different institutions, and a source for data analysis and networking interactions among researchers with the ultimate goal of fostering new and innovative science. It provides a first step for a robust cyberinfrastructure in the geosciences where published and unpublished data can be shared with the community, used in research collectively, and curated by its use through selections, comments and references. In this project, the PIs will develop a number of new and innovativefunctionalities to enhance the current system and continue populating it with data to further improve on this vision of a completely new science through the use of cyberinfrastructure. The data model of the MetPetDB system is based on metamorphic samples and subsamples and incorporates seamless integration between sample characteristics, images and chemical analyses as a fundamental design element. This aspect of MetPetDB is unique in the geosciences, and their results have application in other, image intensive, disciplines. Severalhundreds of samples and thousands of chemical analyses are already uploaded to the system.

MetPetDB（变质岩石学数据库）是伦斯勒理工学院通过先前的地理信息学资助开发的数据库和协作套件。MetPetDB是专为存档已发表的数据，以方便访问，为研究人员和学生的接入点，以大量的可用信息，研究人员之间的协作工具，在不同的机构工作，并为数据分析和网络研究人员之间的互动源，以促进新的和创新的科学的最终目标。它为地球科学中强大的网络基础设施迈出了第一步，在那里，已发布和未发布的数据可以与社区共享，集体用于研究，并通过选择，评论和参考来管理其使用。在这个项目中，PI将开发一些新的和创新的功能，以增强当前的系统，并继续用数据填充它，通过使用网络基础设施进一步改善这一全新科学的愿景。MetPetDB系统的数据模型基于变形样本和子样本，并将样本特征、图像和化学分析之间的无缝集成作为基本设计元素。MetPetDB的这一方面在地球科学中是独一无二的，他们的结果在其他图像密集型学科中也有应用。数百个样本和数千个化学分析已经上传到系统中。
