Data management Team of the SESAME project
Data Management Objectives:
1.Provide ready access of most SESAME data and information
to the SESAME consortium as well as to the international
science community, industry, educators, media, and public in
a timely manner;
2.Coordinate actions of data and information services;
3.Implement common standards and effective mechanisms for
collection and availability of SESAME related data:
─ historical data (public domain data and product of WP1)
─ newly collected data (product of WP2 and WP3)
─ model data (product of WP4-WP6).
Mobile databases as basic tools for
data management and processing
• SESAME Cast database
contains vertical observed profiles of physical, chemical and
biological data.
• SESAME Bio database
contains taxonomy-related data as well as geochemical and
biological bottle data.
• SESAME TimeSeries database
contains time series of physical, chemical and biological data
observed at fixed stations.
• SESAME Modeled TimeSeries
contains time series of physical, chemical and biological data
extracted from numerical models output.
MEDACC - Mobile database for oceanographic
cast data

MEDACC
Import oceanographic data
MEDATLAS format for physical and
geochemical data.
Excel table arranged like an ODV
file, for geochemical and physical
data.
MS ACCESS Core database
SeaBird CTD files
MEDATLAS Parameter Usage Vocabulary.
Unlimited number parameters.
EXCEL and SURFER based graphical data
presentation
Export selected data to ODV generic format and
MEDATLAS format
MEDACC - External Quality Control Wizard
•Direct connection with MEDACC DB
•Auto and manual modes;
•Metadata quality check (location, chronology, sea depth…);
•Data quality control (climatic check, spikes, density inversion…)
MEDACC
External Oceanographic Analysis Tools
Direct connection with MEDACC DB
Sophisticated data profile charting
SURFER based vertical and horizontal mapping
Calculation oceanographic parameters
SESAME Biology database
http://isramar.ocean.org.il/SESAMEMETA/bio_login.aspx
• Ms ACCESS mobile DB for taxonomy-related
data as well as accompanying geochemical
and biological bottle data, acquired in
oceanographic cruises by casting biological
nets and/or water samplers at open sea
stations
• Based on MEDACC DB
• Import data in EurOcean format.
• Export data in EXCEL spreadsheet.
Time series database
http://isramar.ocean.org.il/SESAMEMETA/timeseries_login.aspx
• ODV collection as basic tool for observed time
series and time series extracted from model
output
• Import to MS SQL DB on SESAME server
• Online interface for data selection
• Download selected data in ODV generic time
series format
Metadata and data accumulation
and dissemination
• Start from public available data
• On line submission of metadata and data from
SESAME partners
• Import new data in integral mobile databases
by SEASAME data management team.
• Conversion integral MS ACCESS databases to
MS SQL databases
• Providing on line interface for data selection
and download
Scanning public available data sources
in order to accumulate all SESAME
relevant data.
• Multiparametric data from MEDAR/MEDATLAS II + MATER
Winter
Summer
• Post MEDAR data from
 World Ocean Database
2005
 Coriolis
 ICES
On line management of data flow
from SESAME partners
On line submission of metadata regarding data
providers
On line submission of metadata regarding
datasets
Editing of metadata by registered data providers
On line interface for metadata analysis
On line submission of datasets

SESAME accepted oceanographic data formats
http://isramar.ocean.org.il/SESAMEMETA/dataformatsesame.aspx
• MEDATLAS format for physical and geochemical data. This
format is recommended for data obtained by CTD.
• ODV excel table arranged like an ODV file, for geochemical
and physical data. This format is recommended for data
obtained by BOTTLE casts or ROSETTA casts where the
number of observational levels is significantly lower than in a
CTD cast.
• EURO-OCEANS excel table for biological (taxonomy related
data) and corresponding geochemical and physical data
• ESEAS and ODV time series formats for oceanographic data
where the data acquisition method can be interpreted as time
series.
Interface for data providers:
Definition of parameters in terms of SDN Vocabularies P021 and
P061
Metadata submission

->Submit/Select new dataset->Define parameters
Online report regarding submitted
metadata and datasets

Data accessibility
Download limitation
• Data download is available for registered users only.
• Official SESAME participants are automatically registered with
their login and password from the SESAME PROGECTA
website.
• The availability of the data is determined by the data
originator and can be classified to 3 types:
– Public data is available to all registered users.
– Partner only data is restricted to SESAME partners only.
– Originator only data is available to the SESAME WP leaders only, and
can be requested by Email to the data originator. A list of WP leaders
who are given access to all data is available here.

List of cruises selected according to
metadata controls
• Download checkbox is active for cruises available for current user
• Checked cruises are exported to ODV generic format and zipped for saving
on the current user machine
