Research on Chinese Antarctic Data Directory System^->─Collecting,processing,examining and submitting data directory

Based on the general framework of ADDS( Antarctic Data Directory System) established by SCAR- COMNAP ad hoc Planning Group on Antarctic data management,the CN- ADDS( Chinese Antarctic Data Directory System) projectis go- ing on,of which the research and activity keeps to the available method and technique in ADDS development and allows for the Chinese specific status in Antarctic data man- agementas well.Atpresent,authoring and submitting timely Antarctic data directory in China is one of the key issuesthatisto be dealtwith necessarily.This paper aims at studying the technical procedure in collecting,processing,examining and submitting data directory. In additional,italso discusses the efficient collection of data directory, which needs the effort of administrative and technical support.

Preliminary study of Chinese Antarctic data management in accordance with the international framework

Antarctic data management is the research focus, which the international Antarctic organizations, e.g. Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting(ATCM) , Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research(SCAR), and Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programmes(COMNAP) have been paying close attention to and promoting actively. Through the co effort of international Antarctic organizations and member countries concerned in recent years, Antarctic Data Directory Syatem(ADDS) is established as the most important basic programme for development of the international Antarctic data management system. At present, Joint Committee on Antarctic Data Management(JCADM) is responsible for organizing and coordinating the international Antarctic data management, and implementing the project ADDS.In this paper the background on Antarctic data management in time sequence and the structure of international framework are introduced, meanwhile, it is necessary to develop ADDS first of all. The ADDS mainly consists of the two principal parts: National Antarctic Data Center(NADCs) of all the party members and Antarctic Main Directory(AMD), the best available technology for creating ADDS is to make full use of International Directory Network(IDN) and adopt its Directory Interchange Formats(DIF). In the light of the above requirements, combined with Chinese specific situation, the contents, technical and administrative methods on Chinese Antarctic data management are discussed to promote our related work.
