AB: The Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) is preparing for the challenge of managing data from three scientific drilling platforms, operated by US, Japanese and European science operators, each using different data management systems. This includes organizing and distributing data to clients outside the program, developing interfaces with external global data and metadata catalogues, and making IODP data effectively searchable for data mining and visualization applications. To meet the needs of integrating data from a web of distributed operator databases and providing easy and seamless top-down access from the larger cyberspace infrastructure, IODP will develop an Information Portal for IODP (IPI), that will be a unique entry point for discovery of all IODP data, as well as legacy data from previous scientific ocean drilling programs (ODP, DSDP). It will consist of a central metadata catalogue based on the ISO 19115 standard, which will allow for easy construction of interfaces to access the IODP metadata and data sources. This requires that each contributor to the IPI provide metadata structured according to a common schema currently being devised by an IODP task force. The IPI will use the Open Archive Initiative Protocol to allow Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) to gather the metadata from the different contributors. Initially the portal will allow multiple IODP contributors and in the future external providers to harvest data. Other metadata catalog services could also participate in this system, by either making their metadata available and/or by harvesting the IPI metadata. IODP Management International Inc. is supported by NSF OCE 0432224.
