Modern Earth sciences produce a continuous increasing amount of data. These data consist of the measurements/observations and descriptive information (metadata) and include semantic classifications (semantics). Depending on the geoscientific parame-ter, metadata are stored in a variety of different databases, standards and semantics, which is obstructive for interoperability in terms of limited data access and exchange, searchability and comparability.
ALAMEDA is designed as modular structured metadata management platform for curation, compilation, administration, visualization, storage and sharing of meta information of lab-, field- and modeling datasets. As a pilot application for stable iso-tope and soil moisture data ALAMEDA will enable to search, access and compare meta information across organization-, system- and domain boundaries. ALAMEDA covers 5 major categories: observation & measurements, sample & data history, sen-sor & devices, methods & processing, environmental characteristics (spatio-temporal). These categories are hierarchically structured, inter-linkable and filled with specific metadata attributes (e.g. name, data, location, methods for sample preparation, meas-uring and data processing, etc.). In ALAMEDA, all information is brought together and will be available via web interfaces. Furthermore, the project focuses on features such as metadata curation with intuitive graphical user interfaces, the adoption of well-established standards, the use of domain-controlled vocabularies and the provision of interfaces for a standards-based dissemination of aggregated information.
