U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Data Catalog: InfoBank walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank Clint Steele, csteele@usgs.gov

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
4
FACS Coordinators at all centers…
5
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)
10
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
12
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
13
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
15
Google Maps Introduction: Google recently added understanding of.kml/.kmz Accomplishments: Created matching links for each InfoBank Google Earth link
16
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?
17
Google Earth Introduction: Following last year’s Knowledge Management meeting, we investigated Google Earth and began implementing InfoBank access
18
Google Earth Accomplishments: AGU poster session Learn more InfoBank page Atlas suite: USGS icon, lighting/color table bathy Facilities ID based – nav, times, samps, seis, photos Collection based nav – platform, participant, organization, project Maps and products in Google Earth (eg. Crater Lake, Lake Tahoe, HW1) Mysteries and data sleuthing

47
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?
48
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?
50
Data Catalog: InfoBank walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/ Questions, discussion?
