Mallik Data and Information System - development of a scientific data exchange platform
Ralf Löwner, Ronald Conze · 2005
The Mallik Data and Information System facilitates acquisition, integration, and dissemination of interdisciplinary data and provides a secure, accessible archive of quality controlled scientific results during the Mallik 2002 Gas Hydrate Production Research Well Program. Three main components comprise the system: 1) a specifically created Mallik Data and Information System (Mallik DIS) used for on-site data acquisition, including a digital scanner, which produced a catalogue of digital core images; 2) the data warehouse, a powerful database and archive, providing members of the Mallik science teams with access to project data sets via Internet; and 3) the web portal of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program information network allowing for interactive retrieval, visualization, and integration of the separate data sets.
