Geographic Analysis and Monitoring Program

Science Data Store,
Susan Goplen, Rocky Mountain Mapping Center (n/a)

This task concentrates on the continued development and support of a web-based system called the Science Data Store (SDS). The SDS was developed to meet the requirements of managing geo-spatial data and information across multiple projects, users, and needs. Phase 1 of this task was completed in FY02 with the release of Version 1 of the SDS. SDS Version 1 is capable of supporting the basic needs of data management including: data registration, data storage, data querying, and limited data display /access. FY03 work will first address operational support of the SDS Version 1 system, including system hosting, security, and capacity studies. Additional work in FY03 will also address the following enhancements to the SDS:

• Additional functionality that utilizes new COTS capabilities (i.e. FGDC metadata query)
• Improved system administration tools to streamline/minimize manual intervention by the system administrator
• Investigate options for displaying data from additional formats
• Investigate options for enhanced data download based on user requirements
• Add system reporting capabilities
