Guidelines of this re-organisation were ease of access and clarification of responsibilities. The system icludes three types of data/information centers: - CB: the Central Bureau web and ftp sites at CLS - DC: the Data Center(s): CDDIS (web and ftp sites) and IGN - AC: the Analysis Coordinator webpage at IGN/LAREG The baseline storage rules are as follows. . DC store observational data, products, formats and analysis descriptions. The DCs will issue monthly bulletins (with respective dates shifted by 1/2 month) giving the current status of the data and product storage. . CB produces/stores/maintains basic information on the DORIS system, including various standard models (satellites, receivers, signal, reference frames, etc). . AC refers to CB and DC information on the data and modelling, and generates/stores analyses of the products. Please see http://lareg.ensg.ign.fr/IDS/doc/struct_dc.html for more organisational details and links to the centers. The new structure is now available at the data centers; older archive directories will be removed in the near future. Users are encouraged to update their data retrieve processes to utilize the new directory structure at the data centers. Analysis Centers willing to submit products to the DCs must first get a username at the DCs (Carey.E.Noll@nasa.gov, Edouard.Gaulue@ign.fr). Comments on this new structure are welcome.
