THE DATA MANAGEMENT PORTAL

…provides access to various services for research data collection, archiving and publication of the marine research in Kiel and is provided by the GEOMAR data management team (contact us). The portal offers document exchange, common or individual blogs and fora and integrates internal and external webservices and -pages. Moreover it provides access to several project's collaboration sites with personal login.

The infrastructure covers the period from data acquisition to publication, or 10 years (DFG-Richtlinie), respectively. The longterm archiving of research data will be achieved by publication in suitable world data centers, allowing the synthesis with external data.

The data management at GEOMAR supports researchers in the technical and organizational implementation of GEOMAR's research data policy with consulting and established data management systems for the entire lifecycle of research data.

DATA MANAGEMENT SERVICES

"Open Access" Research Data

	OSIS- Kiel (Ocean Science Information System): Allows data exchange and description for expeditions, numeric models and experiments. Expeditions are linked to KML-files (Google-Earth compatible), allowing a visualization of all stations of a cruise/expedition. How To - Integrate your Data (GEOMAR and research projects only) Go to OSIS OSIS FAQ Contact: Data Management Team
	KDMI Geo-Search: Search cruise tracks, print publications, sampling locations, glider tracks, sample descriptions and detailed cruise information as georeferenced information in GoogleEarth. Contact: Data Management Team
	GEOMAR OPeNDAP (THREDDS) data.geomar.de: The data management supports the publication of research data from disciplines that do not fit into a specific repository. Data will be made openly accessible via the GEOMAR website https://data.geomar.de where data is uniquely identifiable via handle assignment (PID) and will be accessible per download and data-centric services where applicable (e.g. gridded data via OPeNDAP, WMS, WCS). The publication of research data with a handle can be requested via the GEOMAR data submission form. How To - Integrate your Data (GEOMAR and research projects only) / Data Submission Tutorial Contact: Data Management Team
	Boknis Eck Database: The Boknis Eck Time Series Station is located at the entrance of the Eckernförde Bay (54°31.2' N, 10°02.5' E) in the southwestern Baltic Sea. Monthly sampling at Boknis Eck began on 30 April 1957. Thus, Boknis Eck is one of the oldest - still operated - time series sites worldwide. Registered users can access the database (biogeochemical data). Go to Boknis Eck Database web page Contact: Prof. Dr. Hermann W. Bange
	OceanRep GEOMAR: OceanRep is an open access digital collection containing the research output of GEOMAR staff and students. Included are journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, theses and more, - with fulltext, if available. OceanRep is managed by the GEOMAR Library and technical supported by the Data Management Team. Go to OceanRep GEOMAR web page Contact: Bibliothek bibliotheksleitung(at)geomar.de
	PANGAEA: Open Access and citable datasets related to GEOMAR with persistent identifiers in a long-term archive. How To - PANGAEA Data Submission Manual (PDF) Submit your Data (GEOMAR and research projects only) Go to PANGAEA web page & WIKI Contact: Data Management Team
	Marine Data Portal: The Marine Data Portal is developed by scientists for scientists in order to facilitate FAIR research data management to publish, visualize, browse and access research data from interdisciplinary research collaborations as well as individual research initiatives. “We promote the sustainable use of the coasts, seas and oceans through research, data management and digitalisation, infrastructure and transfer.” – MISSION STATEMENT OF THE DAM Go to M arine Data Portal Contact: Data Management Team
