Scientific data collection within the BONUS projects

The data sharing principle defined in the BONUS Data Policy Statement (PDF) is implemented through metadatabases to which all the information about scientific data collected within the BONUS projects are submitted as follows:

1. 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.
   
   
2. New marine geological data collected by the BONUS projects are submitted to the PANGEA database. Data librarian and organization: Hans Grobe hgrobe@pangaea.de.
   
   
3. 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
   
4. 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
