Abstract :
Understanding the fate and effect of materials introduced into marine ecosystems requires broad spatial and temporal perspectives. It may also require the aggregation of measurement data from different scientific disciplines. Because the collection of data on these scales is beyond the scope of most monitoring studies, it is often necessary to share measurements made by different investigators for different objectives. To do so requires the use of primary measurement data recorded in fully documented digital form
