OD42A:
Yes, They're Free: Open-Access Data for Ocean Sciences II


Session ID#: 36993

Session Description:
Open access data are increasingly becoming a requirement for publicly funded projects, and many archives now exist that offer free access to researchers. Conversely, data repositories allow the community to submit data for archival and redistribution. This session is an opportunity for ocean data hosts to introduce their data archives, and for session attendees to learn where they can find available data or submit their data to make them openly accessible. We encourage contributions from data repositories that describe their holdings (e.g. scope and size, variables, geographical locations), data stewardship practices and standards/certifications (e.g. metadata, QA/QC, citations), and data processing and distribution services (e.g. data preview, products and access, web services, metrics).
