Metadata: Marine Survey Data from around the UK (1966 Onwards)
Abstract:
This dataset is the complete collection of the British Geological Survey (BGS) held Marine Survey data. The data held includes digital data and analogue records, plus associated physical sample material. Data are stored within the National Geosciences Data Centre (NGDC) and the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centre (DAC) for Geology and Geophysics. BGS have collected Marine Survey data since 1966 and have also been provided with a range of third-party data. The data includes geophysical data (seismic reflection, side-scan sonar, multibeam echosounder bathymetry and backscatter, gravity and magnetics) and sample data from boreholes, cores and seabed grabs (logs, geological descriptions, geochemical, particle size analysis and geotechnical data). The majority of surveys are within the United Kingdom Continental Shelf (UKCS) area. Individual survey data coverage varies, depending on survey type (sampling, geophysics, multibeam or multi-disciplinary) and objectives (regional or local, shallow or deep). These data are applicable to a wide range of uses including environmental, geotechnical, geophysical and geological studies. Data are delivered via the BGS Offshore GeoIndex www.bgs.ac.uk/GeoIndex/offshore.htm. Additional data are available on request enquiries@bgs.ac.uk.

Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 22470 |
Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | Marine Survey Data from around the UK (1966 Onwards) |
Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Marine Survey Data |
File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | c35c748d-3f7d-682d-e044-0003ba9b0d98 |
Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | http://data.bgs.ac.uk/id/dataHolding/13605638 |
Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | dataset |
Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1966 |
End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 1966 |
Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | continual |

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Data were collected using various survey techniques. This dataset has been managed by BGS over a considerable period of time. Legacy paper records have undergone selective scanning and/or transcription to digital formats, with QC of the information captured and migration to the BGS Database. More recent data is captured digitally and loaded to the database, stored on the network file system and archived offline on tape. The related sample material is curated and managed as part of the physical materials collections. Information is delivered via the BGS web site. |
