A poster to show the Quality control workflow through the data management lifecycle. The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Phase 5 (CMIP5) archive provides a testbed for looking at problems of large scale archives. The complexity of the data within the archive is compounded by the complexity of the management structure: in order to facilitate rapid distribution of the climate data, the modelling centres producing the data have set up their own archive nodes. The system is designed to be transparent, so that users can access data without being aware of its location. The transparency breaks down when institutions fail to master the publication process and inject inappropriate information into the system catalogue.
