**Notes:**
Welcome to NOAA’s Ocean Exploration VDMS project.
The Project has been undertaken by the NOAA Librarians in collaboration with the NOAA Office of Exploration, National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), National Ocean Service (NOS), and NESDIS Visualization Lab. 

## Objectives of the VDMS Project: 

**1. Provide immediate online information on NOAA’s Office of Exploration video data to the general public.**
**2. Educate our Nation on the NOAA oceanographic expeditions and excitement of the underwater explorations through the digital video and related data.**
**3. Give the NOAA librarians an opportunity to collaborate with the scientists from different NOAA offices and programs.**
**4. Archive and preserve this unique video and related data for the next generations. **
** **
**5. To test the existing library tools, guidelines, and metadata standards to support and bring to the library’s online system these new and exciting media formats that include: **
**	****	****Digital video**
**	****	****Digital image**
**	****	****Electronic documents in various formats **
**	****	****Interaction with NODC Ocean Archive System, and OE ****	****Digital Atlas**

**Notes:**
This is a diagram illustrating how the video and related data flows between the different stakeholders. Once a NOAA oceanographic cruise is completed, the video data, related documents and files are gathered at NCDDC for preliminary processing and distributed to the NOAA Central Library and appropriate NESDIS data centers. 
The library receives all original digital video tapes and related documents, including video highlights, video annotations, digital images, image annotations, cruise reports, and educational lesson plans.

**Notes:**
All the OE video collections received in the NOAA Library are entered to this inventory document with the expedition’s name. The accompanied components, such as video highlights, electronic files and full-text documents are included. 
Then, the collection-level metadata record is created and entered in the NOAALINC, the library’s online catalog.
From that moment, everybody can access the information on OE expeditions and view the highlights of entire video footage on Web.       
To start this virtual adventure, visit the coolest place at NOAA, the NOAA Central Library.

**Notes:**
This is an example of the collection-level metadata in MARC21 standards. The standards are widely use by libraries around the world. This record was created, using the Online Computerized Library Center’s (OCLC) Connexion, entered simultaneously to NOAALINC and added to WorldCat, the world largest and richest (including over 60 millions records)  database of bibliographic information, linking the catalogs of 53,000 libraries from 96 countries around the world. 
[Continue on Metadata record is displayed – Life on the Edge 2003, slowly scrolled down, back to the top, stop] 
Take a closer look to this metadata.
The top part of this MARC record lists multiple electronic access points.
[Top part of the metadata displayed]
[Blowouts – Digital video highlights ..., stop]
The library user may access the Digital Video Highlights, prepared by the OE Expedition’s Principal Investigator, or Database Manager. These are compressed to MPEG2 format, or MPEG4 if streamed online. 
 [Blowouts – Video annotations online ...]
Since the video highlights give an overview of the original video footage, the video annotations provide its detailed description. 
[Middle part of the metadata displayed, stop]
[Blowout – general note: Collection of Web sites ..., stop]
[Blowout – general note: Accompanied by 52 Mini DVs ..., stop]
The general notes section describes the content of the video collection. This includes both the physical characteristics of the collection and all accompanied documents and files, such as original video footage, video clips, digital image collection, full-text document, and more. 
[Blowout – Mathematic map data – Scale not given ..., stop]
The georef information is also provided in the field called “Mathematic map data.”
[Bottom part of metadata record displayed, stop]
The bottom part of MARC record displays subjects and related entries.
These fields are hyperlinked internally within NOAALINC database. This means that each field will connect to all related records within the database. 
One click on “Coral reef fishes—South Atlantic Bight” will display all related documents in NOAALINC.

The NOAALINC’s metadata also connects to the NODC Ocean Archive System (OAS) which provides the access to the observations from OE cruises 
In this example, the actual data is not yet available because the PIs are under the “grace period”, usually up to two years after the expedition has been completed, to publish this data.

3-D visualization Map of the Charleston Bump area (using single-beam/multi-beam survey techniques?) 

The Charleston Bump is a deep-water, rocky bottom feature on the Blake Plateau southeast of Charleston, SC (Fig. 1). It includes a shoaling ramp and ridge/trough features on which the seafloor rises from 2,100 ft to shallower than 1,200 ft within a relatively short distance, and perpendicular to the Gulf Stream currents. The Charleston Bump includes areas of nearly vertical, 300-ft-high rocky scarps with outcrops and overhangs
