Towards a concept for a Planetary Science Data Library based on a Spatial Data Infrastructure Model
Abstract
Modern geographic and geological planetary maps are commonly developed from processed raster and terrain-model data and photomosaics. Here, thematic maps in general and geologic maps in particular, represent a highly complex form of data derivation and abstraction due to an added level of interpretation by individuals. Their interpretation and integration into new research work are essential approaches for creating new information. Along with the availability of specific information, maps will become more targeted and cover a wider range of topics. In order to achieve a higher degree of specialization and variation, cartographic products require a consistent and extensive data basis accessible through a larger data infrastructure. To develop such an infrastructure, formal coordination of organizational processes is required. Our first step is to create a user and system analysis, where data, information, processes, user groups, systems and responsibilities are visualized within one scheme. The current situation will be presented and serves as basis for upcoming discussions on establishing a Planetary Science Data Library.
