Documentation: Sites powered by panFMP

On this page we give a list of panFMP-powered metadata portals. The list is grouped by the metadata encoding standard used.

PanSimple Metadata Format (Extended Dublin Core)

The following portals are hosted by PANGAEA. They all share the same panFMP-Installation and indexes. By using panFMP's virtual indexes the harvested sites are combined for search according to the portal.

Harvested sites contain: PANGAEA (Elasticsearch Harvester -- directly from official PANGAEA index on same cluster), Ifremer (OAI-PMH), NMFS-COPEPOD (XML files downloaded from website by web-crawling harvester), CDIAC (XML files downloaded from website by web-crawling harvester). All metadata formats are on-the-fly transformed to pansimple.xsd. CDIAC is harvested in FGDC format and transformed on-the-fly to pansimple.xsd.

• KOMFOR data portal
• SPICOSA data portal
• GFBIO data portal
• Portal of the World Data Center System (in development)

These data portals are built using the panFMP web service interface on the search engine. Sites use PHP with PHP-SOAP extension inside a CMS. The web service entry point is available at: http://ws.pangaea.de/portal-DIF/axis

ISO-19115 (encoded with ISO-19139)

The following portals are hosted at different sites and harvest different providers:

• SEDIS (IODP Scientific Earth Drilling Information Service, in development)
• C3Grid portal (panFMP is used for Data Information Service [DIS] and Workflow Information Service [WFIS])

Dublin Core (or similar)

The following portals are hosted at different sites and harvest different providers:

• PLANKTON*NET @ AWI Bremerhaven
• Helmholtz Open Access Portal (in development) @ AWI Bremerhaven

Others

• PANGAEA's own search engine (formerly called "PangaVista") uses panFMP as backend. The metadata records (in a proprietary format) are harvested by a special harvester directly accessing the XML-blobs from a SYBASE database that hosts PANGAEA. This is possible because of the generic harvesting interface of panFMP. Search is powered by a PANGAEA-specific web service on top of panFMP that supports the PHP-based web site. The web service entry point is available at: http://ws.pangaea.de/ws/services

If you have built a portal based on panFMP it would be nice to have it listed here! Please contact us!
