SIOS' goal is to build knowledge and
capacity for scientists within Arctic
research and connect observations in
a multidisciplinary manner.

Description of the SIOS Distributed Data Management Service





Data submission through well developed documentation, best practices, interfaces
and tools;
Data discovery through human and machine interfaces, focusing initially on index
metadata harvested from contributing data centres. Online access to data sets,
utilizing internationally accepted access mechanisms;
Data use by standardised documentation of data sets allowing users to access and
understand data retrieved.;
Data transformation services, including sub-setting (by variable, geographical area or
time), and re-projecting (changing the map projection) to ease scientific use of the
data sets collected;
Long term preservation of data sets through mandated data archives;
