Software
- MarineQC is an application to assist a marine data manager in quality controlling marine datasets. The application is designed around XML (eXtensible Markup Language) formatted marine data, which allows any type of marine data to be quality controlled at various levels from the header information to the observed data.
- MarineXML is a data format for marine environmental data and is built on extensible markup language (XML). The structure of MarineXML allows for complete encapsulation of all parameters and any processing or edits made to the data throughout its entire life thus making it the ideal archiving format.
