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.

The data was retrieved directly from BOEM, or another government entity, in the form of one or more ArcGIS shapefiles, raster (grid) layers, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, XYZ files, field logs, project reports, PDF tables, and maps. This data was linked to source documents including environmental study reports and data deliverables associated with Negotiated Non-Competitive Leases or Memorandum of Agreements between BOEM and 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. 2024-10-01T00:00:00 Munsell Contains information regarding sample data color within a core or grab sample BOEM Table 15562 MunsellHueWet Munsell hue wet, NOTE FOR LAYERS WITH GLEY HUE: Corresponding chroma entry only contains numeric portion of chroma designation (e.g. '10' instead of '10GY'); (if applicable) complete alphanumeric chroma designations is noted in the Sediment Description attribute field.

Thus, sediment color is a primary signal of changes in the environment in regards to deposition or provenance. The data derived from the Munsell table will provide a synthesis of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) sedimentation and geology to support a wide variety of planning and management decisions and to provide a basis for further process-oriented investigations.
