InfoBank
Accomplishments:
• Addition of 88 National Archive of Marine Seismic Surveys (NAMSS) data sets (Western Geco - FACS, nav, seis, .pdf, .segy, etc.)
Issues:
• Addition of more NAMSS (Chevron, Texaco) data sets
FACS Coordinators at all centers…
Digital FACS
Introduction:
• 280 new field activities have been entered into InfoBank over this last year
Accomplishments:
• 11 Digital Data Series from St. Pete
• 50 field activities from Woods Hole
Issues:
• Whenever FACS re-submitted, we’d like to have changes identified.

Analog FACS
Accomplishments:
• Incorporated collections (paper, maps, microfilm, digital media) of retirees (Carlson, Stevenson, Gutmacher, Bruns, Reimnitz)
• Moved MarFac cores to new O’Brien St. refrigerator
• Moved paleo collection (McGann labs)
Analog FACS
Accomplishments:
• Added NAMSS black box materials in 1050 O’Brien
• Converted database system from solely DAPS managed to user/DAPS managed
• Dispersed duplicate copies of paper maps (NOAA charts, etc.)
• Reorganization of master map sets in 1050 O’Brien
Analog FACS
Issues:
• Unfunded DAPS contractor support (Alex)
• Menlo Park core curator (Cathy) position expiring with no replacement planned
• Some of retiree collections still pending
• Without care, current robust system will deteriorate
• Care, maintenance, disposition of retirees’ reprint collection
Analog FACS
Issues:
• Possible absorption of MMS Carpenteria collection
• Addition of Woods Hole core holding database (Brian)
• Responsibilities, capabilities, and conflicting information sent to NGDC
• Possible shipment of AK materials (CMG + non-CMG) to Alaska Geologic Materials Center
Google Maps
Introduction:
• Google recently added understanding of .kml/.kmz
Accomplishments:
• Created matching links for each InfoBank Google Earth link
Google Maps
Issues:
• Some .kml’s are too complex or too big for Google Maps.
• These are recognized and reported by Google Maps.
• How can we anticipate issues yet keep up with the hope that future Google Map releases will be more robust?
Google Earth
Introduction:
Following last year’s Knowledge Management meeting, we investigated Google Earth and began implementing InfoBank access
Google Earth
Accomplishments:

Issues:
• Want to add seamless bathy highlight upon zooming
• Want to add many more maps and products, but need them identified, and how to register
• What other features are desired for existing ID-based and collection-based products?
• What new products are desired?
Google Earth
Topic:
• The Interagency Working Group on Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IWG-OCM) Project and Geospatial One-Stop (GOS) Portal.
• Is Google Earth and something like the InfoBank suite a possible user access tool?
