CoRIS METADATA

• Important for data search and discovery
  mechanism
• Important for longevity of project and effective,
  long-term use of the data being served
• Library relies on existing MARC metadata
  standards

16
CoRISDiscover NOAAs Data

• Another access to library metadata records
• Links to data products and publications in the
  NOAA Library catalog
• Search by title, author, keywords, taxonomic
  names and more
• Powered by Blue Angel software

CoRIS Z39.50 Compatibility

• Parallel search strategy to simultaneously search
  NOAA Library documents in MARC/Dublin Core format
  as well as FGDC metadata within CoRIS
• Avoid redundancy and allow users to discover
  potential data sources and applicable literature
  within one search
