CDR ReportNet




CDR ReportNet

•CDR Report Net is THE place for the delivery of data (tabular & spatial)

•National coordinators need to ensure they have a login and associated

access rights, only they will be allowed upload data

•Tabular data is to be uploaded as xml (the reporting tool has a function to

do this)

•Data is subjected to an initial QA/QC check


CDR ReportNet

•Data is not visible until the envelope is ‘released’

•Once the envelope is ‘released’ the data is public

•The date of ‘Releasing’ the envelope is treated as the ‘delivery’ date, if

you don’t release the data is not deemed to be delivered.

•Communication will be via CDR (comment section on the envelope)

•Data will be downloaded from the envelope for subsequent analysis

•The Second delivery (if necessary) will take place via CDR
