The National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC) manages the acquisition, ingest processing, quality control and long-term preservation of oceanographic data. Oceanographic data in digital form is sorted, categorized and assigned unique identification numbers at ingest (non-digital data and information are normally incorporated in the NOAA Library, but are always considered for future conversion to digital form to support modern access and retrieval methodologies). The data are scanned for computer viruses, and cryptographic checksums are generated and stored with the original data files so data integrity can be monitored and verified over extended time periods and across generations of storage technologies. A copy of the data is written to removable media for off-site storage. A number of data products are derived from the NODC data holdings to extend the utility of the data and information. ...more on Wikipedia about "National Oceanographic Data Center"
