Preserving the Legacy of MG&G Ocean Exploration: An Online Data Catalog and Library for the Global Ocean

这个项目涉及两个与社区定义的目标直接相关的努力。 第一个是过去、现在和未来海洋地质和地球物理数据的中央元数据目录。 这一努力将借鉴提议者的数据库经验，并将包括精简结构，以便从今后的考察中获取元数据。 元数据目录将被设计成一个中心搜索设备，用于搜索与分布式学科数据库链接的探险信息。 将通过积极征求和实地访问科学家和储存库的方式收集遗留数据和考察信息。 第二个目标是编制全球海洋测深综合报告。 一个主要重点将是建立管理多波束测深数据的标准程序，特别是通过数据记录、质量控制和简化处理。

Abstract Carbotte This project involves two efforts directly linked to community-defined goals. The first is a central metadata catalog for past, present and future marine geological and geophysical data. This effort will build on the proponent's database experience and will include streamlined structure to capture metadata from future expeditions. The metadata catalog will be designed to serve as a central search device for expedition information with links to distributed disciplinary databases. Legacy data and expedition information will be collected by active solicitation and on-site visits to scientists and repositories. The second is to develop a bathymetry synthesis for the global oceans. A major focus will be to establish standard procedures for managing multibeam bathymetry data in particular, which includes through data documentation, quality control, and streamlined processing.
