Abstract
SNAP is the data web portal and framework that allow to access all geophysical data acquired by National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics (OGS).
SNAP hosts approximately 91,073 km of seismic lines and 351,000 square kilometers of Multibeam data, mostly in the Mediterranean and Black sea and is complemented by the Antarctic Seismic Data Libray (SDLS) that under the auspices of the SCAR committee gathers all the seismic data (approx 300,000 km) acquired by all the international research centers in Antarctica.
SNAP is the tip of the iceberg of OGS geophysical data management. Data sources at OGS are OGS-Vessel OGS-Explora and the large asset of vintage data OGS owns. All these data are properly handled using ISO, SEG and OGC standards and made available to internal use through commercial and open-source processing and interpretation software. The OGS geophysics data space can be accessed through the SNAP portal.
Major revisions to the technologies led to the current version that no longer needs plug-ins and can be run on any web browser.
