<measDesc>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.</measDesc>

<stepDesc>The 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 field logs, project reports, PDF tables, and maps. This data was linked to associated features described in 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.</stepDesc>

<overview>
<eaover>The Link Documents table contains links to scientific reports in PDF format that support MMIS data. Data and conclusions from such studies are heavily relied upon by the Marine Minerals Program within the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) when making decisions for how to best manage non-energy mineral resources (primarily sand and gravel) on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Strong decision making by BOEM ensures that the removal of any mineral resource is conducted in a safe and environmentally sound manner, and that any potentially adverse impacts on the marine, coastal, or human environments are avoided or minimized.</eaover>
