SeaDataNet is a pan-European distributed marine data infrastructure for the management, exchange and re-use of marine and oceanographic data sets and collections. A major objective and challenge in SeaDataNet is to promote discoverability of these data resources in a consistent and comprehensive manner. This is achieved through the SeaDataNet metadata services a set of directories, with associated user interfaces and web services, each governed by a SeaDataNet partner and content provided through national SeaDataNet collating nodes. The European Directory of Cruise Summary Reports (CSR) is the SeaDataNet catalogue promoting discoverability of, and access to, reports of the research oceanographic cruises operated by European countries. CSR utilises a metadata format based upon the ISO 19119 content model. The CSR Schema and XML coding are supported by URLs and URNs to the SeaDataNet Common Vocabularies.Find an existing cruise, see if cruises exist in your area of interestChief scientists of Research cruises, Oceanographers, researchers, ship owners, public authorities.
