What We Do

The CDS Collaborative Technologies and Metadata group creates and manages web applications, databases, and other tools to allow people to work together.

Who We Are

In Fall 2005, the Field Project Support and Data Management team from the UCAR/Joint Office for Science Support (JOSS) merged with the former Atmospheric Technology Division (ATD) to form the new Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL). The former UCAR/JOSS Data Management team is now part of the EOL Computing, Data, and Software (EOL/CDS) Facility.

The EOL/CDS Collaborative Technologies and Metadata Group is composed of associate scientists and software engineers specializing in the technologies that allow people and systems to exchange data, metadata, data products, and other information in support of scientific research.

EMDAC

To improve our data management services, CDS/CTM is developing portions of the EOL Metadata Database and Cyberinfrastructure (EMDAC). EMDAC is a comprehensive metadata database and integrated cyberinfrastructure that will be the hub of all EOL data services. Through EMDAC, CDS will create bridges to multi-agency data portals, creating compatible metadata and data access infrastructure which connects EOL to the common services of today while allowing us to meet future needs through a modular and extensible architecture. For more information about EMDAC, Web Access to archived data, Metadata Catalog Export, Browsing and Visualization, satellite and other personalized data services click here.
