The French “Bureau Central de Magnetisme Terrestre” (BCMT) operates currently 16 magnetic observatories distributed all over the world and maintains a database of more than a hundred year of magnetic data, including additional former observatories in France (2) and in foreign countries (3). Most of them are or had been operated in collaboration with other institutions. With the aim of providing a simple, lasting and reliable way to refer to observatories definitive data, it has been proposed to the partner institutions to attribute a single Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for the complete dataset of BCMT definitive magnetic observatory data. The DOI has been available for nearly a year (since October 2017). The landing page for the BCMT dataset is hosted by the IPGP data centre and includes, through an XML file, a description of the dataset covered by this DOI, the list of partner institutions that agreed to be included in the DOI and other meta-data information. A licence has been set for the full data set. Direct links to the data for each observatory hosted on BCMT ftp server are also provided to facilitate data access. |
