Project

The PROJECT table is the uppermost level in the data model, used to define research projects. A new project is defined, if Pangaea is the designated data system or if a significant number of data sets are archived from the project. New projects are defined on request by the [mailto:hgrobe@pangaea.de data librarian]. Required fields are:
 * Acronym, mostly written in capitals
 * Name, full project title
 * Coordinator, related to staff list
 * Institute, place of coordination or project office
 * URL, link to the homepage of the project
 * Comment, e.g. provide funding number/organization

Data sets can be related to one to many projects. If data should not be related to a specific project, the project not_given may be used. In this case, no project will be listed in the metaheader of the related data set.
