Project

The PROJECT table is the uppermost level in the data model, used to define research projects.

During data import the relation (one to many) is set between data sets and project(s). If data are not related to a specific project, not_given is used (in this case, no project will be listed in the metaheader of the related data set). Prior to the import of data please check, wether the required project already exists. New projects are defined, if Pangaea is the designated data system or if a significant number of data sets from a project are archived.

New projects are defined by the [mailto:hgrobe@pangaea.de data librarian] on request.

Required fields for the definition of a project are:
 * Acronym, mostly written in capitals
 * Name, full project title
 * Coordinator, related to staff list
 * Institute, place of coordination or project office
 * URL Project, link its the homepage
 * URL Data,
 * if left blank filled by default with a query like http://www.pangaea.de/search?q=project:label:ADEPD
 * otherwise a link to a dedicated data page can be added
 * Type, relational to a short table (DFG, BMBF, EU, National, International)
 * Comment, e.g. provide funding number/organization
