The iMarine e-InfrastructureAn operational combination of digital technologies (hardware and software), resources (data and services), communications (protocols, access rights and networks), and the people and organizational structures needed to support research efforts and collaboration in the large. is well-suited to support data-experiments; it integrates data environments, processing resources, storage and publication areas with a collaborative set of components. These experiments can be described in this wiki using the "Scientific Method", which brings consistency to the various proposed experiments. The descriptions in this wiki are rather notes than complete experiments logs, and the resulting output, which may be e.g. scientific papers, are separate project outputs.

These wiki pages thus serve to understand the activity, discuss effort, and report on results for all project participants. It helps with the design, and the interpretation of the results. The design is a logical and rational order of steps to come to a conclusion:

Observation/Research

Hypothesis

Prediction
