Project Introduction

The European Union has funded a significant multi-national, multi-system data management project called SeaDataNet. This 6-year project (2006-2011) will provide metadata, data and products as a unique virtual data centre. The project is constructing a standardized distributed system for managing the large and diverse data sets collected by the oceanographic fleets and the new automatic observation systems.
