Project code: DFG SFB 806
Contract period: 01.01.2009 - 31.12.2009
Purpose of research: Project preparation activity

Data storage and exchange in interdisciplinary research projects, that focus on spatially distributed field data collection in an organised framework are key issues. The overall and sustainable success of such projects depends on the well organised data management and data exchange of/for all projects. Therefore, the aim of this project is to solve the main problems of data storage and exchange within an interdisciplinary project by using a complex spatial database that allows the management of heterogeneous spatial and attribute data. Besides geographical and attribute data, e.g. multi-scaled field maps, this database includes metadata, literature, file management, project staff and publication, as well as picture and video data and provides as a basis for the external and internal presentations of partial results and conclusions. A special focus is the sustainable use of all gathered data within the proposed CRC also after the project is finished.
