Abstract:

Antarctic data management is one of the research focus,which the international Antarctic organizations,e.g. ATCM,SCAR,and COMNAP have been paying close attention to and promoting actively. Through an effort of five years,establishment of ADDS is defined as the most important base of establishing and managing the international Antarctic data management system by SCAR COMNAP ad hoc Planning Group on Antarctic data management. From now on,JCADM is responsible for organizing and coordinating the international Antarctic data management,and implementing the project ADDS.The author introduces the background on Antarctic data management in sequence of time and the structure of international framework,meanwhile,realizes that it is necessary to develop ADDS first of all. The ADDS mainly consists of the two principle parts:NADCs of all the Party Members and AMD,the best available technology for creating ADDS is to make full use of IDN and adopt its DIF. In the light of the above requirements,combined with Chinese specific situation, the contents,technical and administrative methods on Chinese Antarctic data management are discussed to promote our related work.
