  2. x x Date • Calculated date is an interpretation of the data. • An interpretation requires knowledge. • This knowledge must be captured with the data. What have we accomplished? Defined: What is an Age? Knowledge Information Data

  3. Reference Rock RockRef Rock 1 Ref 1 Rock 2 Ref 2 Manage Many to many Rock 3 Ref 3 Rock 4 Ref 4 Rock 5 Ref 5 etc.. etc... Age Age 1 Age 2 Age 3 Age 4 Age 5 etc... What have we accomplished? Defined: A geochron data model. • CGKB establishes leadership in international partnerships and initiatives International Connections Earthref Earthtime ICS CHRONOS

  4. What have we accomplished? Cooperated and shared existing information. • Worked together, investing time and $ towards a common goal. Start: Very limited compilation

  5. What have we accomplished? Built CGKB together. • Now contains over 20,000 ages, from more than 2000 references. • We estimate: corresponds to more than 95% of all age data.

  6. What have we accomplished? Established mechanisms for sharing • Web services • WMS services. • Developed data sharing tools.

  7. What have we accomplished? Worked on a plan to maintain CGKB up to date • Defined a mechanism to share in the responsibility of maintaining CGKB • Concept of Regional Editor Appointed regional editor reviews for completeness Age entered and submitted by various users

  8. What have we accomplished? Concept of the Regional Editor • Geochronological expert named by P/T. • Someone who is jointly recognized as a geochronological expert. • Role is to oversee the completeness of the data being submitted to CGKB within an P/T. • Oversee compilations to complete gaps in P/T.

  9. What have we accomplished? Developed the CGKB Submission System • Internet submission system built around the regional editor concept. • Two types of users: general user and regional editor.

  10. What have we accomplished? CGKB Submission System (continued) • New users must register. • Password emailed to user.

  11. What have we accomplished? CGKB Submission System (continued) • New users are automatically general users. • Compile information and submit to regional editor.

  12. What have we accomplished? CGKB Submission System – Create a reference

  13. What have we accomplished? CGKB Submission System – Add a Sample

  14. What have we accomplished? CGKB Submission System – Add a Sample

  15. What have we accomplished? CGKB Submission System – Add an Age

  16. What have we accomplished? CGKB Submission System – Add an Age

  17. What have we accomplished? CGKB Submission System – Submit to Regional Editor

  18. What have we accomplished? CGKB Submission System – Submit to Regional Editor

  19. What have we accomplished? CGKB Submission System –Regional Editor

  20. CGKB What have we accomplished? CGKB Overview Regional Editor Reviews Users Submit Tools, WS, WMS, shape files…

  21. What have we accomplished? Proposed Data Sharing Agreements

  22. What have we accomplished? Regional Editor: • Someone who is jointly recognized as a geochronological expert • Role is to oversee the completeness of the data being submitted to CGKB within a Province/Territory. • ESS will provide Regional editor if one is not available.

  23. What have we accomplished? Data: • P/T -ESS agree to capture all geochronological data within their possession • P/T -ESS agree to respect the scientific and methodological framework in place.

  24. What have we accomplished? Data: • ESS agrees to develop and maintain an internet data submission system. • ESS has made available tools to assist in automated delivery of data. • Each party can use the data as they see fit (respecting and citing sources).
