The system used by Cyberinfrastructure to organize and archive deployment, calibration, and lifecycle management (purchasing, storage, and refurbishment status) of instruments, platforms, and platform components (aka “Assets”) acquired and maintained by the OOI Implementing Organizations (IOs). The Asset Management information is accessible via the Data Portal, and links data products to the instruments that produce them, as well as supplying metadata about where, when, and how the data were produced.
