NASA/NSSDC Report to MOIMS DAI/IPR Plenary 2 NSSDC - Internal NSSDC ‘legacy 9-track tape’ migration Production handling still not underway Attempted to migrate 6 data collections Errors found both in validation procedures and in historical databases Full extent of % of data collections that will require special handling is not yet known. NSSDC is re-engineering Curation Scientist interface in support of data ingest Working Preliminary Phase attributes and Formal Phase attributes in close collaboration with our Space Physics and Planetary scientists Main negotiation is about level of effort required, such as justifying need for every attribute to be entered NSSDC continues leadership (Jim Thieman) of SPASE (Space Physics Archive Search and Extract) Data model document version 1.1 released Version 1.2 under development: see NSSDC continues participation (Don Sawyer) in ‘Archive Certification’ task force New version or RLG/NARA document to be released this week Will participate in CCSDS/ISO certification BoF NSSDC underwent major review (external group) of its program Positive response; currently expect a flat budget in FY 07

NASA/NSSDC Report to MOIMS DAI/IPR Plenary 3 NSSDC-Internal-2 NSSDC continues registration of data descriptions ADIDs being assigned for all legacy tape-based data collections undergoing migration NSSDC/WDC-SI continues Spacecraft ID registrations for CCSDS Secretariat NSSDC is planning a Science Archives Workshop for late April Focus on NASA’s Space Physics, Planetary, and Astrophysics disciplines Promote inter-archive communication and best practices
