Archive of Geosample Information from the British Ocean Sediment Core Research Facility (BOSCORF)
The British Ocean Sediment Core Research Facility (BOSCORF), National Oceanography
Centre, is a contributor to the Index to Marine and Lacustrine Geological Samples
(IMLGS) database. As a partner repository, BOSCORF sends information related to their
sample collection to NCEI for discoverability via the IMLGS. Some related core photographs
are also archived at NCEI. BOSCORF maintains a more complete archive of data and information
related to their collection, searchable on their website.

Data Presentation Form | Digital table - digital representation of facts or figures systematically displayed,
especially in columns |
Dataset Progress Status | Ongoing - data is continually being updated Historical archive - data has been stored in an offline storage facility |
Data Update Frequency | Irregular - BOSCORF contributes data to the NCEI archive and to the IMLGS as new samples are added to their collection and/or as new sample data are available for public release. |
Supplemental Information |
Additonal related data and information are available directly from the contributing
institution, which is the authoritative and most current source of data and information
related to their sample collection. The IMLGS contains a subset of summary metadata
from the institutional database.
|
Purpose | Information about the BOSCORF core collection is sent to NCEI to promote public access to research results and to increase their discoverability via the IMLGS. |

Lineage Statement | Data are received by NCEI on an intermittent basis from the repository. Incoming data are checked for adherence to controlled vocabularies, illegal data types in numeric fields, and out of range latitudes/longitudes. NCEI adds IGSNs/links to related resources, where known, and may perform cursory visual inspection of data for reasonableness, asking the originator for guidance on discrepancies. Preliminary processed data are placed in a test database for inspection by the originator, and iteratively corrected until the originator approves their publication to the production database. Data may also be updated/corrected at any time, at the originator's request. |
