The MMIS data model utilizes a hierarchical structure where an ESRI enterprise geodatabase represents the top tier, and feature datasets and raster catalogs are the secondary tiers which contain groupings of similar data layers. These individual data layers were identified by MMP as important, and they make up the bottom tier. Most individual vector layers and tables are collections of data from multiple sources and across multiple dates. Extensive research went into the construction of (1) the hierarchical groupings of data (primarily by subject matter and file format) and (2) technical aspects of the data model. Data within the geodatabase was consolidated to reduce redundancy, resulting in several stand-alone tables. Relationship classes utilizing global IDs were built between vector layers and stand-alone tables in order to link disparate data. The entire MMIS data model was originally constructed using ESRI ArcGIS Diagrammer, a tool that creates and edits a geodatabase schema. The resulting geodatabase structure, data, and relationship classes were reviewed thoroughly by multiple individuals using ESRI Geodatabase Diagrammer Add-In, ESRI ArcGIS, and Microsoft Visio. ESRI Geodatabase Diagrammer Add-In creates a detailed break-down of the geodatabase and a Visio data model poster.

The spatial data and attribute tables loaded into the MMIS data model are believed to be complete, in regards to maintaining each data layer/table after retrieving it from its source. Please refer to the scientific reports, as well as BOEM MMP Leases, negotiated agreements, Memoranda of Agreements, and project completion reports, for discussions of the results on the corresponding source data. Most individual vector layers and tables in the MMIS data model are collections of data from multiple sources and across multiple dates. Most likely, these MMIS layers/tables will continue to have more data loaded in the future, therefore expanding upon the list of sources and dates. Additionally, the Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and Alaska OCS regions may eventually be added to the data model, aside from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico OCS regions.

These documents are referenced in the attribute tables, where appropriate. In regards to attribute assignment in the Marine Minerals Information Systems (MMIS) data model, every effort was made to load source data into MMIS without error or modification. Some attributes contain domain restrictions in an effort to standardize the field entries and to decrease potential inconsistent entries (e.g., spelling, grammar, typographical errors, and subject matter) in the attribute.

The spatial and tabular data presented in this dataset was identified by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Marine Minerals Program (MMP) for the MMIS project as being critical for MMP's decision making and management responsibilities of federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) mineral exploration and federal non-energy sand/gravel lease activities. The data was retrieved directly from BOEM, or another government entity, in the form of one or more ArcGIS shapefiles, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, field logs, project reports, PDF tables, and maps. This data was linked to source documents provided to BOEM by partnering agencies or contractors. First, the source data was reformatted, if needed, into an ESRI ArcGIS compatible format and then loaded into a project-specific geodatabase in its native projection. Second, the data was reprojected into the NAD83 geodetic reference system and then loaded into corresponding layers and tables in the MMIS enterprise geodatabase. Relationship classes were made between disparate layers and tables to join related data. Lastly, for use in the web application, a duplicate "publishable" MMIS enterprise geodatabase was created in a Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere) projection. For specific process information regarding acquisition, please reference the individual study reports.

This attribute is used to categorize records as either a marine minerals core/boring, or an oil and gas boring. Marine minerals cores are collected for the purpose of investigating sand resources. Oil and gas geotechnical borings are collected by the OG industry for the purpose of infrastructure siting, but they also contain valuable information for those with marine minerals interests, which is why they are included in the MMIS. Several services depend on this attribute being populated correctly.

Describes the location and collection parameters of a Core sample and houses relationships to tables containing additional sediment data and linked documentation. The data contained within and related to it will allow other users to know where additional or updated sampling is needed. The data derived from the core samples will provide a synthesis of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) geology to support a wide variety of planning and management decisions, and to provide a basis for further process-oriented investigations.
