Data Management for the Global Ocean Flux Study (GOFS)

这是一个联合项目，旨在为美国全球海洋通量研究(GOFS)开发数据管理能力，基于分布式数据库系统的新软件方法。其目标是允许科学家个人使用他们现有的计算机和数据分析软件对来自各种来源的数据进行操作，而不考虑格式。该提案要求为最常见的硬件配置开发必要的软件，准备现有数据的文件，并准备存储GOFS数据的在线能力。

This is a joint project to develop a data management capability for the US Global Ocean Flux Study (GOFS), based on a novel software approach to a distributed data base system. The objective is to allow individual scientists to use their existing computer and data analysis software to operate on data from a variety of sources regardless of format. The proposal calls for developing the necessary software for the most common hardware configurations, preparing files of existing data, and preparing an on-line capability for storing GOFS data.
