Welcome to the NCEAS Data Repository. This repository contains information
49
about the research data sets collected and collated within or under the
50 2408 sgarg
auspices of NCEAS' funded activities. A number of these data sets were
51 2001 jones
synthesized from multiple data sources that originated from the efforts
52
of many contributors, while others originated from a single investigator.
53 2408 sgarg
Credit for the data sets in this repository goes to the investigators who
54 2001 jones
collected the data, and also to the NCEAS working groups and scientists who
55
compiled the data for synthetic purposes. See each data package for a list
56
of the people and institutions involved.

<p>Data documentation (metadata) can be contributed to the repository in
60
several ways, each with its own strengths.  The
61 2408 sgarg
<a href="@cgi-prefix@/register-dataset.cgi?cfg=nceas">Register a New Data Set</a>
62 1980 jones
web form is a simple way to get started with providing metadata about the
63 2408 sgarg
existence of a data set.  But it can not be used for fully documenting the
64 1980 jones
data, nor can you upload the data objects themselves through this form.
65 2001 jones
In order to provide a more complete description of data, we recommend using the
66 1980 jones
<a href="http://knb.ecoinformatics.org/morphoportal.jsp" target="_top">Morpho</a>
67
software application which is fully compatible with this repository.

      The repository search system is used to locate data sets of interest
76 1976 jones
      by searching through existing registered data sets.
77
      Presently the search covers all fields, including
78
      author, title, abstract, keywords, and other documentation
79 2408 sgarg
      for each data set.  (More sophisticated search capabilities,
80 1976 jones
      including boolean field searches, will be available in future.)

      The registration page is used to submit information about a <b>new</b>

      data set will be reviewed and then submitted to the Repository.
