International Polar Year Data and Information Service (IPYDIS)
Data and Information Service for IPY, for international polar observing.
The International Polar Year Data and Information Service (IPYDIS) is a global partnership of data centers, archives, and networks working to ensure proper stewardship of IPY and related data. The International Polar Year is a massive international scientific programme focused on the Arctic and the Antarctic from March 2007 to March 2009.
A self-organized data management team is developing metadata profiles and tools for the IPY observations (see links). The metadata profile is based on the DIF fields of GCMD.
