Abstract

Once geoscientists have acquired basic computing skills, the next step in IT familiarization is generally to use IT methods to collaborate within a project. The project is managed to achieve the objectives of a workgroup. Computers facilitate communication with e-mail, discussion groups and intranet links. There may be a need to formalize: standards, metadata and investigational design for all contributors to share compatible results; procedures to monitor and control the project; and document and database design to deliver a uniform product
