Abstract
ARGOS is a data warehouse to which a design based on a metamodel is applied that allows the definition of attributes and their domains in a dynamic way; the operational requirements of loading and unloading data are fulfilled by combining software of own development and templates programmed in MS Excel; The administration of the system combines elements of policy, regulations and security in which the organizational principles that apply to the users of the system, the standards of documentation by means of metadata and the operational mechanisms that guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the data are clearly defined. The system manages monitoring data series of Colombia's marine ecosystems, some of them taken since 1990.
