STAGE 2 – Data Preparation
• Assessment of archiving process, practicalities of data preparation and generation of metadata
» 39 datasets from 5 surveys
• Preparation according to the specific requirements of the different archive centres
» Geophysical/geotechnical datasets – 1.5 days per survey» Diving/ROV datasets – 3 days per survey
• Conclusions» The need for an archiving strategy to be incorporated/specified at the
outset» Dataset granularity, duplication of effort and metadata translation tools» MEDIN Metadata
