Description
Summary:The data archival process starts with the acquisition of information on scientific projects. This applies specially to time-consuming and cost intensive acquisition of data in remote polar regions. Within the ingestion framework for raw data at AWI, the data acquisition and processing workflow has been defined as a generic RDIF project. Once a RDIF projects has been defined, a seamless data transfer from scientifc acquisition systems to data archives follows atomatically. In the framework of the data flow, the datasets undergo a "file structure" validation process in which not only the associated metadata is created but also a digital object identifier (DOI) is assigned. The assigned identifier beomes an integral part of the metadata being used in all following processing steps and visualization procedures.
