Geoscience Large Object Store

The Geoscience Large Object Store (GLOS) is a database for the storage of models and related digital objects, together with metadata that describes the details of the originating model software. This will allow the models to be re-used by the originating software this presupposes that the software and hardware platforms are still available for use. Longer-term preservation will be achieved through the use of the Geoscience Spatial Framework.
