【 摘 要 】

The European Union 5th Framework Project ��PADAMOT�� (Palaeohydrogeological Data Analysis and Model Testing) uses advanced analytical techniques and numerical modelling to investigate the evolution of groundwater and minerals during the Quaternary climate changes, in order to gain insight into processes significant to the safety of radioactive waste repositories. A consortium of ten organizations representing four countries is carrying out the project. BGS has particular responsibility to carry out work under Work Package 3 (WP3) of the project: ��Design and Compilation of Database��. Within this context, the two main deliverables have been achieved: construction of the project web site, and development and population of the project database, which has been made available to project partners via the web site. This report describes work undertaken and deliverables achieved on WP3. Section 1 provides a brief introduction. In Section 2, the background to the project and the BGS role within it are described. Section 3 describes the software architecture supporting the PADAMOT web site and project database. Section 4 describes the web site in some detail. In Section 5, development and population of the project database and its associated web-based data browser application are described. A number of appendices provide additional detailed information too bulky to fit in the body of the report. A brief glossary and references are provided at the end of the report.
