Site Byte:
1. Annual Site Byte
The past year's IM activities focused on setting up an environment to post the site's long term datasets online. Datasets were described in EML varying from level 3 to 5. Posting EML metadata online through XSLT transformation was adapted from SBC. Most datasets can be downloaded automatically and downloads are registered in the database.
Our back end is a combination of disk storage and database. For insertion of manually collected data we developed database interfaces using web forms and Java applications. Maintaining the database schema is a continuous task and will become a major task in the coming year, when we will make the schema fully compliant with the used EML tags.
