To define a standard data model for Antarctic
geographic data - to enable integration of fundamental GIS datasets.
To promote the data model to organisations / institutions producing
these datasets and facilitate the availability of fundamental data themes
through the creation of "data libraries" containing
all and the best available fundamental data. These libraries will be accessible
from this web site and metadata records held in the
Antarctic Master
Directory. [N.B. For a dataset to be considered part of a "data
library" it must meet at least the first three characteristics of the
data model - data, access and metadata].
To create a standardised & integrated 1:5
Million scale product containing all seven fundamental GIS datasets.
The product will be made available on the web and also on CD-ROM.
Proposed Specifications for AGDI 1:5 Million
scale product. Also available as a PDF file
(approx 16Kb)
