HyperCard database for Correlation of Marine and Terrestrial Records Project
Thang N. Phi, James V. Gardner · Antarctica A Keystone in a Changing World · 1994
A HyperCard database was designed for the Correlation of Marine and Terrestrial Records (CMTR) project to organize multidisciplinary, multivariate sets of the data in an easily retrievable, user-friendly environment that could be used by the project scientists with little or no training.Because the volume of data from the project is relatively large and the data types are diverse, a database was required that allows easy updating, and provides some level of security.HyperCard was chosen to create the CMTR database because it satisfied the above criteria as well as being freely available to all owners of Macintosh computers, is easy to program, and provides a graphic user interface that allows for little or no familiarity with the program to retrieve data.
