Abstract
Specific parameters determined from marine sediments can be used as proxy data to calculate former ocean properties. To use this scientific resource effectively an information system is needed which guarantees consistent longtime storage of the proxy data and provides easy access for the scientific community. An information system to archive proxy data of paleoclimatic relevance, together with the related meta-information, raw data and evaluated paleoclimatic data, is presented here. The system provides standardized import and export routines, easy access with uniform retrieval functions, and tools for the visualization of data. The network is designed as a client/server system providing access through the Internet.
