Become a data provider
To become a data provider for the portal you have to provide metadata for your datasets, articles or map projects. We basically support the defacto standardized OAI-PMH and the OGC CSW metadata harvesting interfaces. One of these standards should be accessible from the internet via HTTP/S without authentication. If you have no catalog and standardized interfaces to your content until now, you might have a look at the GeoNetwork solution. Different metadata schemata and profiles are supported, e.g. ISO19115, but also customized ones. For special cases, also other web-ressources can be harvested, but are not preferred.
Checkpoints for basic metadata
- Title
- Publication date
- Temporal extent (begin date, end date)
- Geographical extent (point, bounding box, polygon or line string)
- Author(s) (lastname, firstname, email, ORCID)
- Abstract or description
- Stable URL to splash page with additional information
- DOI or Handle if existing
- Type of object (data, publication, article, map)
Checkpoints for extended metadata profiles
- Platform metadata, e.g. research vessel, Polarstern
- Device metadata, e.g. Thermosalinograph (device type)
- Expedition or campaign metadata, e.g. PS101
- Event metadata, e.g. PS101/058-1 (date, description, latitude, longitude)
- Measured parameter, e.g. temperature
- URL(s) reference(s) to related data services or download
- URL(s) reference(s) to further information and related content
