(I) Data catalogue and Pointer to Unix files Enable search and identification of data Allow for data access as they are (coarse granularity raw data files) (II) Application-oriented data storage in BLOB tables Time series of individual variables are stored as BLOB entries in DB Tables (fine granularity data products) Allow for fast and selective data access Storage in standard data format (GRIB, NetCDF/CF) Allow for application of standard data processing routines (PINGOs, CDOs) CERA1) Concept: Semantic Data Management 1)Climate and Environmental data Retrieval and Archiving
Experiment Description Pointer to Unix-Files Dataset 1 Description Dataset n Description BLOB Data Table BLOB Data Table WDCC Data Topology Level 1 - Interface: Metadata entries (XML, ASCII) + Data Files Level 2 – Interf.: Separate files containing BLOB table data in application adapted structure (time series of single variables) BLOB DB Table corresponds to scalable, virtual file at the operating system level.

Portal Integration Two strategies: One way integration: discovery and use metadata are integrated in a central data portal in one step Example: C3Grid data catalogue (refer to presentation from Heinrich Widmann) Two way integration: discovery metadata are integrated in central data portal, use metadata are extracted from remote archive when they are needed for data download and processing Example: Primary data publication in TIB library catalogue (STD-DOI) WDCC integration in NDG (NERC Data Grid)
