- The BCO-DMO is a combination of the formerly independent data management
offices for US GLOBEC and US JGOFS.
- BCO-DMO will continue to manage the US JGOFS and US GLOBEC data
collections as well as data from new programs, including programs
associated with the OCB DMO (CARIACO, EDDIES, MedFlux, SOFeX, VERTIGO).

- Support for investigators at geographically different sites
- Client support for most (all?) computing platforms (PC, Macintosh, Unix,
Linux) – Web based, using standard browsers
- Distributed data servers
- Data contributor directly controls data
- Always up to date
- Easier to grow computing resources
- But can also use a central facility if one wishes

- Quality assurance of data.
- Treat all information as data.
- Data that lacks sufficient metadata has limited value beyond the
research program for which it was collected.
- Metadata should include sufficient information to support discovery,
value assessment and accurate secondary use (re-use of data).
|
7
|
- Open Geospatial Consortium standards are followed
- Web Mapping Service (WMS) is supported
- Web Feature Service (WFS) is supported
- OBIS/DiGIR interface will be available by implementing and supporting
basic SQL commands within the
JGOFS/GLOBEC data management software

- Data are the intellectual property of the collecting investigators.
- The time and effort committed to the collection of a data set entitles
the investigator team to the benefits of it.
- Publication of results derived directly from the data is the privilege
and responsibility of the investigators who collected the data.
- The Data Management Office can remove from the display any sensitive
fields.
|

|
- The data are intended for scholarly use by the academic and scientific
communities, industry, and management, with the express understanding
that any such use will properly acknowledge the originating
investigator.
- Use or reproduction of any data or images for any commercial purpose is prohibited
without prior written permission from the Data Management Office.
|
10
|
- Any person making substantial use of a data set must communicate with
the investigators who acquired the data prior to publication and
anticipate that the data collectors may expect to be co-authors of the
published results. This extends
to model results and to data organized for retrospective studies.
|

|
- Within three (3) months after collection, a detailed inventory of
measurements made during the cruise or field season must be submitted to
the U.S. GLOBEC DMO by the chief scientist of the experiment in
cooperation with the participating principal investigators.
- Measurements which do not involve manual analysis and which would be
useful to the science community must be submitted by the principal
investigator within six (6) months after collection.
- All other measurements and any standard analyses of these measurements
must be available to the community within one year after collection.
- Investigators will either submit data to the Data Management Office or
place it on-line as a U.S. GLOBEC distributed database.
