GLOBEC Data

GLOBEC uses a decentralised data management system where metadata is held in a central database and individual projects are responsible for quality control and archiving their data. The GLOBEC Data Policy was drafted in early 2000; it focused on data and metadata sharing, the responsible archiving of data and inventory and cataloguing activities. It gives National and Regional GLOBEC programmes a framework from which to construct their own detailed data management policies and to address issues such as long term archival of the data to ensure that GLOBEC makes a lasting contribution to marine science.
