Arctic Data Centre

The Arctic Data Centre (ADC) is a service provided by the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET) and is a legacy of the International Polar Year (IPY). ADC is based on the FAIR guiding principles for data management and access to free and open data. While the Norwegian Meteorological Institute use CC BY as the data license, ADC is managing data on behalf of other data owners that may have other preferences. ADC is primarily hosting data within meteorology, oceanography and glaciology, but through active metadata harvesting it also points to data within other disciplines. ADC normally offers data in CF-NetCDF adhering to the Climate and Forecast Conventions (exceptions may occur) and support services on top of data like OPeNDAP and OGC WMS. Machine interfaces to the catalogue include OAI-PMH, OGC CSW and OpenSearch. Information is provided in the native format MET Metadata (MMD), ISO-19115 and GCMD DIF (others are being considered).

北极数据中心（ADC）是由挪威气象研究所（MET）提供的一项服务，它是国际极地年（IPY）的遗产。ADC基于FAIR数据管理和开放数据访问指导原则。虽然挪威气象研究所采用CC BY作为数据许可，但ADC代表其他数据所有者管理数据，这些所有者可能有其他偏好。ADC主要托管气象学、海洋学和冰川学方面的数据，但通过积极的元数据采集，它也指向其他学科的数据。ADC通常提供符合气候和预报公约（CF-NetCDF）的数据，并支持数据之上的服务，如OPeNDAP和OGC WMS。目录的机器接口包括OAI-PMH、OGC CSW和OpenSearch。信息以原生格式MET元数据（MMD）、ISO-19115和GCMD DIF（其他格式正在考虑中）提供。
