Publication of science data on CD-ROM: A guide and exampleCD-ROM (Compact Disk-Read Only Memory) is becoming the standard media not only in audio recording, but also in the publication of data and information accessible on many computer platforms. Little has been written about the complicated process involved in creating easy-to-use, high quality, and useful CD-ROM's containing scientific data. This document is a manual designed to aid those who are responsible for the publication of scientific data on CD-ROM. All aspects and steps of the procedure are covered, from feasibility assessment through disk design, data preparation, disc mastering, and CD-ROM distribution. General advice and actual examples are based on lessons learned from the publication of scientific data for an interdisciplinary field experiment. Appendices include actual files from a CD-ROM, a purchase request for CD-ROM mastering services, and the disk art for the first disk published for the project.
