(3) Data Transfer
What is needed to motivate and facilitate the transfer of private spectral data bases into the public domain (lab, field, airborne, telescopic)?

Spectral data sets come in three broad forms:
1. Pattern matching templates (e.g. lab spectra of pure endmembers with known particle size ranges)
2. Spectral behavior studies (e.g. coatings, rough surfaces, where something other than composition causes spectral variation)
3. Targets outside the lab (e.g. airborne and field terrestrial analog, and telescopic data)
Some archiving issues may differ for the different data set types. Participants will address:
1. What will motivate the transfer of private spectral data bases into the public domain (including funding and acknowledgement issues)?
2. What is needed to facilitate the transfer of data into the public domain, including:
--Formatting
--Funding
--Routing
--Role of the NASA Planetary Data System (PDS)
(3) What ancillary data are needed with the archive (e.g. composition, viewing geometry, instrument details)?
(4) What are the most time-critical concerns?
