AB: Since the start of this effort (September 1, 2003) we have developed a data base schema, selected and installed a relational data base management system (PostgreSQL), designed, developed and, deployed a draft set of metadata forms, ingested data from ten Ridge2000 cruises as of September 2004 and deployed a web accessible Ridge2000 data portal: http://www.marine-geo.org/ridge2000/ . At the portal, one can get content using with pre-constructed queries for survey targets and deployed instruments at each of the R2K Integrated Study Sites. Alternatively, our data link allows spatial, temporal and keyword searches to identify and download data. The current metadata forms have been used for 6 cruises and we have received constructive feedback (in addition to the actual metadata) from all three R2K integrated study sites. We are working on incorporating this feedback into an updated set of forms which we expect to release early in 2005. Other recent include substantial improvements to GeoMapApp, links to other data repositories, a major update of our web site, integration with data from Arctic, Antarctic, Margins data sets and the pre-constructed queries on the R2K portal page. Our plans for 2005 include: A second major revision of the metadata forms in early '05, improvements in the metadata ingestion process, enhanced authentication using LDAP, continued active participation in the broader data community developing interoperability as well as implementing direct interoperability with a number of complementary databases including the underway geophysical and multibeam databases at National Geophysical Data Center, the National Deep Submergence facility at Woods Hole, the Geological Data Center of the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, and the databases of the ODP (JANUS at TAMU, and Borehole Geophysics at LDEO)
