InfoBank Accomplishments: • Addition of 88 National Archive of Marine Seismic Surveys (NAMSS) data sets (Western Geco - FACS, nav, seis, .pdf, .segy, etc.) Issues: • Addition of more NAMSS (Chevron, Texaco) data sets
Digital FACS Introduction: • 280 new field activities have been entered into InfoBank over this last year Accomplishments: • 11 Digital Data Series from St. Pete • 50 field activities from Woods Hole Issues: • Whenever FACS re-submitted, we’d like to have changes identified.
Analog FACS Accomplishments: • Incorporated collections (paper, maps, microfilm, digital media) of retirees (Carlson, Stevenson, Gutmacher, Bruns, Reimnitz) • Moved MarFac cores to new O’Brien St. refrigerator • Moved paleo collection (McGann labs)
Analog FACS Accomplishments: • Added NAMSS black box materials in 1050 O’Brien • Converted database system from solely DAPS managed to user/DAPS managed • Dispersed duplicate copies of paper maps (NOAA charts, etc.) • Reorganization of master map sets in 1050 O’Brien
Analog FACS Issues: • Unfunded DAPS contractor support (Alex) • Menlo Park core curator (Cathy) position expiring with no replacement planned • Some of retiree collections still pending • Without care, current robust system will deteriorate • Care, maintenance, disposition of retirees’ reprint collection
Analog FACS Issues: • Possible absorption of MMS Carpenteria collection • Addition of Woods Hole core holding database (Brian) • Responsibilities, capabilities, and conflicting information sent to NGDC • Possible shipment of AK materials (CMG + non-CMG) to Alaska Geologic Materials Center
Google Maps Introduction: • Google recently added understanding of .kml/.kmz Accomplishments: • Created matching links for each InfoBank Google Earth link
Google Maps Issues: • Some .kml’s are too complex or too big for Google Maps. • These are recognized and reported by Google Maps. • How can we anticipate issues yet keep up with the hope that future Google Map releases will be more robust?
Google Earth Introduction: Following last year’s Knowledge Management meeting, we investigated Google Earth and began implementing InfoBank access

Google Earth Issues: • Want to add seamless bathy highlight upon zooming • Want to add many more maps and products, but need them identified, and how to register • What other features are desired for existing ID-based and collection-based products? • What new products are desired?
Google Earth Topic: • The Interagency Working Group on Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IWG-OCM) Project and Geospatial One-Stop (GOS) Portal. • Is Google Earth and something like the InfoBank suite a possible user access tool?
