The database is managed by NGDC on behalf of the Curators Consortium of representatives from these institutions. Participating (current and former) institutions include: Antarctic Research Facility Florida State University (ARFFSU), Bedford Institute of Oceanography (Canada), Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University (LDEO), National Lacustrine Core Repository at the University of Minnesota (LacCore), Oregon State University (OSU), Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP, ODP and DSDP), NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), NOAA Atlantic Oceanographic and Marine Laboratories (AOML) - now closed, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences University of Miami (RSMAS), Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California (SIO), School of Ocean and Earth Science Technology, University of Hawaii (SOEST), University of Wisconsin-Madison (U WISC), University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography (URI), University of Southern California (USC), US Geological Survey (USGS), University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UT), Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), and the British Ocean Sediment Core Research Facility (BOSCORF) at the Southampton Oceanography Centre. Samples are also included from the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) and IFM-GEOMAR in Germany, although samples from these institutions are no longer actively being added. The Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples (IMLGS) contains inventory and basic lithology, texture, and age information for geologic samples of sediment and rock from the seafloor and lakebeds archived by approximately twenty oceanographic institutions and government agencies, in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Most samples are available for further study, on request from the individual repository. Listings from the file include institutional contact information. Data are coded at the curatorial facility and include ship, cruise, sample id, latitude/longitude, water depth, date of sample collection, sampling device, storage method, core diameter/length and interval within core (if applicable). Sample descriptions, including primary and secondary lithology and texture or rock type and mineralogy, other noted components, remarks and weathering notes, age, province, principal investigator, and descriptive comments are included for some samples, all samples include basic collection information. The IMLGS includes over 500,000 data records containing information for over 197,000 discrete sea floor and lakebed cores, grabs, dredges, and drill holes worldwide, as of May 2013. The IMLGS is searchable by any parameter or combination of parameters. The database was designed by representatives of the curatorial facilities in cooperation with NGDC through a series of meetings sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), beginning in 1977, and NSF continues to support coding of data into the Index. The Index is accessible via a Web Feature Service (WFS), a Web Map Service (WMS), a www-forms interface, and a geospatially-enabled ArcGIS interactive map interface. The purpose of the IMLGS is to help researchers locate sea floor and lakebed cores, grabs, dredges, and drill samples curated by the participating repositories for further analysis.

Samples are color-coded by participating institution. The tiled (cached) service is visible from global scales up to zoom level 7 (approx. 1:4,600,000 scale). The corresponding dynamic map service is slower to draw, but is visible at all scales, and allows subsets of the data to be drawn using a layer definition query.

Completeness of data in the IMLGS for each collection is determined by submission schedule of the individual repository. Some recently collected samples are still in process by the participating repositories and will be published as they are submitted for inclusion in the IMLGS. NGDC works with the partner institutions to ensure that sample data published in the IMLGS conforms to agreed upon formats and vocabularies, but cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information itself. Horizontal Positional Accuracy The horizontal accuracy of data values is approximately .001 degree of latitude/longitude. Reliability Quality control is performed by originator and also in coordination with NGDC after data submission. Data are subjected to controlled vocabulary testing at NGDC, then posted on a test web site for inspection by the originator. Data are iteratively corrected at NGDC until the originator approves their publication to the production database. Reliability Quality control is performed by originator and also in coordination with NGDC after data submission. Numeric data are subjected to out of range testing at NGDC, then posted on a test web site for inspection by the originator.
