SEAVIEW DATA

Supporting Scientists. Reformatting data for scientist's tool of choice can be a barrier and a time sink. Existing ocean data repositories provide data in different format options, such that bringing data together from multiple repositories into a single analysis or visualization environment requires reformatting. Furthermore, finding data of interest across multiple repositories can be challenging or time consuming, particularly when the data of interest is not easily defined by the search facets commonly supported by data portals. SeaView is working with five oceanographic data repositories on a lightweight approach to publish content in common data formats, focusing on thematic collections (see below)... The primary focus of SeaView is facilitating the production of select, end-user-requested, formats by the partner data repositories. These will be accessible through each repository's usual search and access method. However, this work will be incremental. SeaView is rolling its..
