DOE Data Explorer: The Data.

Abstract

This article is the second part of the previously published review about the DOE Data Explorer database (Ayers 2008). It discusses the types of data that can be found using the Data Explorer by focusing on the content provided by the Data Resource Centers. Please remember that the Data Explorer is just a tool for pointing the user in the right direction. The Explorer sends the user to other site locations that may have the data needed. These locations do not have the same structure or format as the DOE Data Explorer and further searching by the user may be required once at the data collection site. As shown in the previous article, users access the list of all data centers by selecting "DOE Data Center" with the browse feature. This is the starting point for the examples in this article.
