3. NGDC provides scientific stewardship for data from the ocean floor and lakebeds Permanent Archive We’re in it for the Long Haul, Preserving data for your great-grandchildren Data Rescue & Digitizing Rescuing data from scientists’ desks and file cabinets. Data Access Making data freely and publicly available.

4. Permanent Archive We’re in it for the Long Haul, Preserving data for your great-grandchildren • 2.86 terabytes of sediment/rock data & images archived • Archived in software-independent form, to NARA standards using Open Archive Information System (OAIS) guidelines • Documentation in FGDC form, moving to ISO 19115 • Archive periodically migrated to new media • moving from LTO-3 to LTO-4 this summer

5. Data Rescue & Digitizing Rescuing data from scientists’ desks and file cabinets. NOAA’s Climate Database Modernization Program (CDMP) is a partnership with private industry to image and key paper & film records and make them available on the Web.

6. Data Access Making data freely and publicly available. • Geospatially-enabled relational databases • Web services (Feature & Map) & browse tools • ArcIMS viewers (in migration to ArcGIS Server) • Metadata access via Geospatial One-Stop/GCMD • Collaboration with MGDS/R2R/UNEP-GRID/SESAR • Links to Related Data (reciprocal links encouraged) • Working on near-line access to entire 190+ tb archive

7. Why add your data to the long-term archive? • NOAA/NGDC’s mandate includes a commitment to provide access to, and long-term archival for data pertaining to sea floor and lakebed samples. • NGDC data archives are maintained to NARA standards with offsite backups, storage on approved media, and periodic migration to new media and technologies. • Funded projects end, scientists retire, and institutional resources for maintaining scientific data and records can change – place a copy in the archive to ensure its continued accessibility to the scientific community We’re in it for the Long Haul, Preserving data for your great-grandchildren Carla Moore NOAA/National Geophysical Data Center E/GC3 325 Broadway Boulder, CO USA 80303-3328 Phone: 1+ 303 497 6339 Fax: 1+ 303 497 6513 Email: carla.j.moore@noaa.gov Web: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/

14. Index to Marine & Lacustrine Geological Samples Database Other Database Additions/Modifications • 26,281 Cruise/leg cross-correlationsMGDS/SIO Explorer Standard Ids were found for samples in the Index database and added as a new parameter. Existing cruise identifiers were kept in their original form. This is an ongoing effort for historic samples. Most new samples, at least from UNOLS ships are expected to use the more standard cruise/legs.

15. Index to Marine & Lacustrine Geological Samples Database Cruise/leg Options • Search by old cruise • Search by new cruise/leg • Search results display both for each sample selected

Index to Marine & Lacustrine Geological Samples Database Requests to the Curators’ Consortium • Please check your contact information & send us corrections • Help keep the Index up to date, send data for new samples in your collection • Please help add standardized leg information for your older samples • Make use of the Index on your web sites via links and web services, we will be happy to assist you • Please take advantage of NOAA’s CDMP to scan/enter remaining materials related to your collections. There is room in the 2009 budget for additional digitization. 2009 may be the final year.
