Practical Considerations when Scoping and Implementing a Data Discovery, Visualization and Access System for Heterogenous Datasets

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) undertakes multi-disciplinary Polar research across a broad spectrum of scientific fields including Biology, Geology, Oceanography, Meteorology, Atmospheric Chemistry and Space Physics. Data is collected across many platforms, be they remote deep field autonomous instruments, loggers at permanently manned stations, research vessels or floating buoys. These data are collected over various temporal scales (from short intensive campaigns, through seasonal to long term continuous monitoring) and significant spatial extent. Current technology also allows near real-time return of data.
