We don't have the support staff and possibly not the capacity to compile and upload ftp data.  It would be much easier for us if you download the reports from the information I provided earlier.  We would welcome them being entered into NODC as part of your archive. The field reports, cruise plans, etc. will be included as appendices in the report series you would be downloading.  BOEMRE/MMS otherwise does not collate field logs, etc.  We do collect digital photographs of the research effort but these are usually retained by the contract COR.  I have several years of annual CDs of photographs for ANIMIDA/cANIMIDA documenting the field effort that could be copied and sent to you if you want them for the NODC archive. In addition, the Battelle web site with the database has a document section with as complete a record of all reports, presentations, and documents that we could put together. You could download any additional documents that you think useful for your archive.

You email suggests that NODC is interested in a much greater range of
potential archival information/materials about studies than I or the rest of
BOEMRE was aware.  In the future would NODC want digital copies of final
reports, other digital report products, digital photograph series, and digital
copies of presentations submitted with data submissions?

Hello Dick,

 I appreciate the links to relevant websites and the bibliography 
list.  I will use these resources to develop metadata for the ANIMEDA 
database, and I will copy the bibliography in the appropriate section of 
the metadata record.

 Any kind of supporting documentation that we can preserve in the NODC 
Archive in addition to the ANIMEDA database could greatly improve the 
re-use of these data.  In fact, the reports from the long bibliography 
that you sent confirms my suspicions that the database represents just a 
small fraction of the data and information that could be archived at 
NODC.  In addition to final reports, we could preserve field logs, 
photographs, maps, and other research relevant digital media.  Unless 
someone at Battelle or BOEMRE is willing to put these materials together 
and submit them to NODC, we won't be able to capture this data and 
information as part of the archival package.  Now that I have your 
attention, do I have permission to publish copies of the reports from 
the Bibliography in the NODC Archive?  If so, a second question is how 
would I get copies of the reports?  Could someone package the reports 
into a zip file and upload them to the NODC ftp site? (instructions at: 
http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/General/NODC-Submit/).  Alternatively, I could 
grab them from the website as long as I have an email stating that 
someone is submitting the reports to NODC to copy into the archive.

Thank you,
Jonathan

Jonathan:  I am sending you this information at the request of Greg Boland.

 

The cANIMIDA Core Contractor report (final integrative report) is in revision.  The existing 24 existing published OCS Study ANIMIDA/cANIMIDA reports are listed in the attachment.  The complete set is in http://alaska.boemre.gov/ref/AKPUBS.HTM.  The ANIMIDA/cANIMIDA database, these reports, presentations, and additional documents are available at http://www.duxbury.battelle.org/canimida/home/index.cfm.  Note that both this online database and the one provided to NODC exclude some of the subsistence whaler data which are only available by direct request to BOEMRE (Alaska OCS Region, ESS) per sharing agreement with the Whalers.   You may be able to extract the data you are looking for from the online database which runs through a user-friendly (but proprietary) Battelle interface.
