The page about JGOFS datasets and metadata has been updated:
 - with a description of the "International JGOFS Data Collection DVD. Volume 1: discrete datasets", published in May 2003 by the JGOFS DMTT & IPO AEO and including all JGOFS datasets available at that time, and
 - with a description of the expected "International JGOFS Data Collection DVD. Volume 2: integrated datasets" to be published in 2004 by the ICSU World Data Centre for Marine Environmental Sciences (WDC-MARE, Germany).
In the meantime, and since January 2003, the WDC-MARE team has carried on the compilation and harmonization of the JGOFS datasets, which are accessible by national contribution, in its Pangaea information system (about 30,000 JGOFS dataset entries, so far).
