Marine Geology data accessibility in the european framework: the I.G.M.E. Database and access services after its participation in the GEO-SEAS project

摘要

During more than 30 years of activity and participation in numerous research pro-jects, the Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration of Greece has carried out extensive work in marine geology and a vast amount of data has been collected. In order for those data to be available and used by the international scientific community, a need for standardization and harmonization was imminent. Towards this scope IGME, along with 25 other marine geological and geophysical data centres, located in 17 European maritime countries, participated in the GEO-SEAS project: the implementation of an e-infrastructure.
