The GCE Data Toolbox is a MATLAB software library that supports metadata-based analysis, visualization, transformation and management of ecological data sets. The toolbox is based on the GCE Data Structure, a specification for storing tabular data along with comprehensive metadata and quality control information. Metadata fields are queried by toolbox programs for all operations, allowing data values to be managed and analyzed appropriately based on the type of information they represent. This semantic processing approach supports highly automated and intelligent data analysis and ensures data set validity throughout all processing steps. Data structure size is only limited by available computer memory, and large data sets (e.g. >1 million records) can effectively be managed and analyzed using standard desktop computer hardware.
