The global server (GDAC –Global Data Assembling centre-) is the central hub of the Project. Its job is to act as the archive for such data, and to interface to the World Data Centers, WDCs, that also hold historical underway data.
The global server provides data and products to users, and works in collaboration with Project participants to monitor the state of the data system.
The global server verifies the integrity of the data being provided, and reconciles early data received with the same data received at a later time and with more extensive quality assurance procedures having been employed.
The responsibility of the global server is:
- To maintain a centralized web-ftp available data server
- To accept data from national centres and ensure a safe archive
- To verify that submitted data meet format and quality control requirements
- To ensure that archived data retain all agreed metadata for the Project
- Collaborate with World Data Centres to ensure long term safekeeping of the data and information
- To ensure that rules governing deletions, changes to data are met by contributors before actions are taken in archives.
