NODC Metadata Management for Geoportal Server and Beyond John Relph NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center
Stewardship: Access Archive Management System o Loosely-coupled, distributed, easily configurable Purpose-built dynamic metadata WAFs o Archive Holdings WAF o NODC Collections WAF o Data.gov/Geospatial One-Stop WAF Overview 1
Scientific Stewardship Acquire: receive ocean data from U.S. and foreign sources Archive: preserve those data assets for the long term Access: provide access to archived data for business, federal, science, and many other users Add Value: assemble easy-to-use, long term collections for science and applications 2
