BONUS METADATA COLLECTION
The aim of the BONUS data policy statement is to ensure that the results and data follow the standards of the European Marine observation and Data Network. The central principles are that the publicly funded research data are a public good, produced in the public interest and that the data should be openly availbale to the maximum extent possible.
The BONUS Data Policy Statement is implemented through metadatabases to which all the information about scientific data collected within the BONUS projects are submitted as follows:
- New oceanographic data collected by the BONUS projects are submitted to the SeaDataNet through the National Data Collating Centres. Consortium partner organising the cruise is typically responsible for submission of data to SDN.
- New marine geological data collected by the BONUS projects are submitted to the PANGEA database. Data librarian and organization: Hans Grobe hgrobe@pangaea.de.
- Metadata describing the secondary datasets compiled of/derived from various sources are assembled in the BONUS metadatabase of compiled datasets. BONUS metadatabase of compiled datasets View the metadata descriptors
- Metadata describing the sets of virtual data generated as a result of various model runs are assembled in the BONUS metadatabase of artificial datasets.BONUS metadatabase of artificial datasets View the metadata descriptors
