Abstract

ABSTRACT The British Geological Survey (BGS) is responsible for managing a major geoscience data archive on behalf of the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). Much of this geological data was captured during the 1990s and early 2000s using now obsolete software and data formats. This data asset remains an important resource for the NDA and the wider scientific community. The NDA wishes to ensure the data remain accessible and usable for many decades into the future. BGS has been working closely with Radioactive Waste Management (RWM), a wholly owned subsidiary of the NDA, on a program of data management and digital continuity measures to ensure the long-term usability of the data. This article describes some of the challenges and outlines the approaches we have taken to address these issues.

案例研究:核退役机构地球科学数据档案的管理与利用

英国地质调查局(BGS)代表英国核退役管理局(NDA)负责管理一个主要的地球科学数据档案。这些地质数据大多是在20世纪90年代和21世纪初使用过时的软件和数据格式捕获的。这一数据资产仍然是NDA和更广泛的科学界的重要资源。NDA希望确保这些数据在未来几十年内仍然可以访问和使用。英国地质调查局一直与NDA的全资子公司放射性废物管理(RWM)密切合作，开展数据管理和数字连续性措施计划，以确保数据的长期可用性。本文描述了其中的一些挑战，并概述了我们为解决这些问题所采取的方法。

期刊介绍： Information networking is an enabling technology with the potential to integrate and transform information provision, communication and learning. The New Review of Information Networking, published biannually, provides an expert source on the needs and behaviour of the network user; the role of networks in teaching, learning, research and scholarly communication; the implications of networks for library and information services; the development of campus and other information strategies; the role of information publishers on the networks; policies for funding and charging for network and information services; and standards and protocols for network applications.
