Ongoing archiving of the Nirex Site Investigation Data into a National Geological Archive

Tender description

The objectives of the work will be: • Manage physical data assets including paper reports and physical media on behalf of RWM (including transport of data from current location at the National Geoscience Data Centre at British Geological Survey in Keyworth if required). • Continue work to scan highest priority reports to PDF format, so they can be uploaded in the Nirex Archive and maintain the Nirex Archive register of documents. • Continue capture and analysis of preservation metadata, ensuring that results are compatible with current Nirex Digital Geoscience Database schema. • Recognise most vulnerable geoscientific data and filetypes, and ensure there is a systematic method to maintain and preserve these files. • Undertake data rescue tasks, by responding to queries from RWM to reconstruct data from specific boreholes undertaken during the Sellafield investigations.
