Abstract :
Availability and multiple use of seismic data and derived crustal models are necessary for the success of interdisciplinary collaboration. The German continental reflection seismic program (DEKORP) investigated more than 4500 kilometers of seismic profiles. This data collection is a unique and valuable scientific asset. A clearinghouse for DEKORP data is being developed at the GFZ Potsdam to make this data accessible, thus providing enormous geoscientific potential for other research projects. The core of the clearinghouse is a data archive for DEKORP data consisting of both an archive system and an archive information system. The archive system is responsible for long-term archiving and protection of data. The archive information system provides online access to data. For each data set a catalogue entry has been created. The clearinghouse provides user-friendly access and integrates the data archive into a geoinformation infrastructure which is currently under development at national, European and global levels
