The next generation all-digital Site Survey Data Bank (SSDB) became operational on August 15, 2005 as an online resource for
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) proponents, reviewers, panels and operations, worldwide. There are currently 123
active proposals for drilling at sites distributed across the globe, involving nearly 1000 proponents from more than 40
countries.
The goal is to provide an authoritative, persistent, secure, password-controlled and easily-used home for contributed data
objects, as proposals evolve through their life cycle from preliminary phases to planned drilling expeditions. Proposal
status can be monitored graphically by proposal number, data type or date. A Java SSDBviewer allows discovery of all
proposal data objects, displayed over a basemap of global topography, crustal age or other custom maps. Data can be viewed
or downloaded under password control. Webform interfaces assist with the uploading of data and metadata. Thirty four
different standard data types are currently supported.
The system was designed as a fully functioning digital library, not just a database or a web archive, drawing upon the
resources of the SIOExplorer Digital Library project. Blocks of metadata are organized to support discovery and use, as
appropriate for each data type. The SSDB has been developed by a UCSD team of researchers and computer scientists at the
Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the San Diego Supercomputer Center, under contract with IODP Management International
Inc., supported by NSF OCE 0432224.
