Intern:Database systems

Other database/archive systems (review and comment!)


 * Arctic Ocean Diversity Project (ArcOD) Data An international collaborative effort to inventory biodiversity in the Arctic sea ice, water column and sea floor from the shallow shelves to the deep basins using a three-step approach: compilation of existing data (sea ice algae, phytoplankton, zooplankton, zoobenthos, fish, and birds), taxonomic identification of existing samples, and new collections focusing on taxonomic and regional gaps.
 * EarthChem Data infrastructure for geochemistry, NSF-funded; data archives hosted by the Geoinformatics for Geochemistry program; portal services to international federation of geochemical databases.
 * GEOROC (Geochemistry of Rocks of the Oceans and Continents) Database An online resource hosted by the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Chemie in Mainz, providing published geochemical data from volcanic rock samples, glasses, minerals and inclusions from ocean islands and several other active and passive tectonic regions. Since 2003, GEOROC joined with PetDB and NAVDAT databases to form the EarthChem consortium.
 * www.marine-geo.org/margins A multiple-data file repository, access tools and web services for data collected in studies funded under the US MARGINS programs.
 * Marine Geoscience Data System NSF-funded program at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University composed of the Ridge 2000 and MARGINS Data Systems, the Antarctic and Ridge Multibeam Bathymetry Synthesis projects, and the Seismic Reflection Field Data Center.
 * UNEP Shelf Programme For use by coastal states preparing submissions for an extended continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles. The OSDS was developed in response to a United Nations resolution that: “Calls upon the United Nations Environment Programme, working within the Global Resource Information Database (GRID) system for data and information management.
 * Figure Preprint Publication is a Wiki to publish figures and other media.
 * DRYAD data repository without format constraints (not even units); no difference to the supplement archive of a publisher but with CC-zero!
