This convenient resource makes it easy to identify distinct surveys and products (datasets), and support them with maximum metadata. Gathering and displaying this metadata provides rigorous QC of each dataset, in the form of contents listings, maps, headers, and other resources produced using DPTS Diplomat tape utility software.

Exploration Archives has been designed to facilitate identification of distinct products (datasets) and to provide the maximum amount of information about each product to the user. Gathering the information provides rigorous QC of each dataset in the form of contents listings, maps, headers etc. produced using DPTS Diplomat tape utility software.

All content is entered by DPTS with users having read only access. The website design enables users to narrow their search via country, region, field, and area to identify the surveys for which data is held and to list all the different products available for each survey.

Products are defined by contractor, year, product type, description, media and format and the number of items in each is given. Each product listed also has a DPTS Product ID (PID), which is a unique shorthand identifier (within client) for the product, particularly useful when ordering data.
