Highlights of Project L-19: 2005 - 2007

Entire LDEO Core Photograph Collection Scanned/Available Online



OSU, LacCore, and URI core logs were key-entered and archived in .PDF form

Partial image – whole core online



Most ARF/FSU Core X-rays Scanned/Available Online

Scanning:

• 31,825 core photographs/negatives (LDEO, OSU, LacCore, WHOI, SIO)

• 7,234 core X-rays (ARF/FSU, OSU)

• 1,043 coring data sheets (& 2,500+ non-CDMP) (OSU)

• 5,069 sea floor photographs (ARF/FSU, LDEO)

Key-entry:

• 6,202 core logs, smearslide descriptions, data sheets (OSU, LacCore, URI)

Sample repository materials digitized 2005-August 2007. ~500 additional seabed photos will be scanned in 2007

Over $550K in NOAA funding


Project L-19 Progress Summary: 2005 - 2007

If your institution has materials to scan or key-enter for 2008, please contact NGDC with:

• Volume estimates (#pages, photographs)

• Samples (Xerox copy of typical description, photo copy)

• Specifications, formats, resolution, etc.


Project L-19: 2008 Continuation

NOAA/NGDC Commitment toSea Floor Data Stewardship

Permanent Archive We’re in it for the Long Haul,

Preserving data for your great-grandchildren

Data Rescue & DigitizingRescuing data from scientists’ desks and file cabinets.

Data AccessMaking data freely and publicly available.

Did we mention that we provide a long-term archive for data from sea floor and lakebed samples at NGDC?

Why add your data to the NGDC archive?

• NGDC’s mandate includes a commitment to provide access to, and long-term archival for data pertaining to sea floor and lakebed samples.

NGDC is finalizing an agreement with the LDEO Marine Geoscience Data System (MGDS) to permanently archive multibeam data from their system.

Once finalized, NGDC hopes to extend the agreement to include sample data.

• NGDC prepares and maintains documentation according to FGDC/ISO metadata standards. When metadata standards change, NGDC migrates metadata to new standards, maintaining its interoperability with other systems.

• NGDC archives metadata with the data to increase their long-term utility.

• NGDC data archives are maintained to NARA standards with offsite backups, storage on approved media, and periodic migration to new media and technologies.

We’re in it for the long haul, preserving data for your great-grandchildren.
