Data Management System Standing Committee meeting

Action Items

October 9-10, 2006
IGPP / SIO / UCSD    La Jolla, CA

Action Item 1:

The IRIS DMSSC encourages the DMS and PASSCAL programs to develop a web page that provides data return information from all PASSCAL experiments.  This page should include information from both active source and passive deployments.  Information about the number of instruments, type of deployment, restricted or unrestricted status and data availability through the IRIS DMC should be listed.  This list must be dynamic with updates as needed to reflect the present status of all experiments in terms of data delivery.  The web page should also provide a link through which PIs may submit information to update information that pertains to any experiment for which they are responsible.  This list will support the ability to click on column headings to sort by any of the columns.
Responsibility: T. Ahern/ B. Beaudoin
