SUBMISSION

...

A collection of Acquisitions submitted to AusSeabed as a package of data

...

ACQUISITION

...

Data Acquisition from one or more Platforms and Sensors, usually covering over a shorter defined period of time and a specific geographical extent. The acquired data is used to generate multiple products and resolutions and can be combined with others to create a compilation

...

ACQUISITION CODE

...

This is generally considered the SURVEY ID. An identifier provider from the data acquirer

...

COMPILATION

...

A combination of distinct Acquisitions from multiple sources, platforms and sensors that is often covers a considerable time period and geogrpahical extent.

Contributing Data Partner

...

A contributing data partner is an organisation that has agreed to assign custodianship for a data product to GA, as an implemented AusSeabed Data Hub.

...

Contributing Hub

...

A Contributing Hub is:

  • A data store that provides data processed to the AusSeabed standard

  • A data Catalogue that stores metadata

  • Connected to the broader AusSeabed Data Hub component infrastructure for seamless delivery to the end user

  • Meaningfully supported from within their own organisation with a forward commitment to continue for at least 12months.
