Abstract
The CODATA Data Science Journal is a peer-reviewed, open access, electronic journal, publishing papers on the management, dissemination, use and reuse of research data and databases across all research domains, including science, technology, the humanities and the arts. The scope of the journal includes descriptions of data systems, their implementations and their publication, applications, infrastructures, software, legal, reproducibility and transparency issues, the availability and usability of complex datasets, and with a particular focus on the principles, policies and practices for open data.All data is in scope, whether born digital or converted from other sources.
Highlights
Since 1997, Global Geodynamics Project (GGP) stations have used a text-based data format known as PRETERNA
The main drawback of this type of data coding is the lack of data integrity during the data flow processing
Metadata and even data must be checked by human operators
Summary
Since 1997, GGP stations have used a text-based data format known as PRETERNA. The main drawback of this type of data coding is the lack of data integrity during the data flow processing. We propose in this paper a new format for storing and disseminating the data coming from the worldwide GGP network of superconducting gravimeters, in order to streamline the data processing and to enable the scientific community to access these data and their ancillary metadata through distributed, integrated information technology systems and virtual observatories. This new format is based on the eXtensible Markup Language (XML, Bray et al, 2006), which ensures the consistency, reliability, and integrity of the data over the Internet and among any data processing platforms.
