• The Antarctic Treaty requires signatories to manage, exchange and make freely available their scientific data
• ADDS was proposed and endorsed in 1992; DIF adopted as a tool
• JCADM and the ADDS were established by SCAR and COMNAP in 1997
• The AMD hosted by GCMD since 1999• Currently 26 NADC’s have been
established

• Redesigned AMD portal• New portals added in support of
National Antarctic Data Centers (NADCs)• Access to over 3000 DIFs• Consistently most popular portal with
respect to DIF searches and retrievals• Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC)
has installed MD8 software

• Design similar to GCMD with an Antarctic theme– Graphically enhanced with photographs– Topic keyword thumbnails are more relevant
to Antarctic research
• Customized top navigation bar including a link to JCADM website for more information
• Added page listing NADC portals with links to each portal: http://gcmd.nasa.gov/Data/portals/amd/nadc_portals.html

Antarctic Master DirectoryAntarctic Master DirectoryUse Statistics - SummaryUse Statistics - Summary
• Searches in 2004 show a slight increase over the last six months of 2003
• Overall, number of retrievals increasing• Since November 2003, AMD accounts
for approximately 9% of all portal searches
• AMD is the most popular portal of 23 portals

Antarctic Master DirectoryAntarctic Master DirectoryChallengesChallenges
• Acquiring and implementing a map in polar projection for a more thorough spatial search
• Encouraging updates from certain NADC’s• Establishing NADCs in the remaining 18
Antarctic Treaty nations• Working within JCADM to take full
advantage of the AMD as a tool for the Antarctic scientific community
