Process_Description:
Forming the dataset involved integration of the hundreds of separate datasets using a specialized program written by Chris Jenkins. That program formatted the MGD073 format (punch card) into dbSEABED format, applied plausibility error checking, and wrote metadata in the data when inconsistencies were found.

Process_Description:
Suspect Porosity values were caused by digits not being in the right place in 073 files. They were detected by the translating program when <30% or >90%.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Digital data were checked, formatted to dbSEABED input format, then processed using dbSEABED software to produce a range of output formats. The processing contained quality checking that may have declined to pass faulty or suspect data to outputs. GSM and GSSC datasets were suspect if their totals did not fall within 1% of 100%.
