国际大洋科学钻探可以追溯到20世纪60年代的“莫霍钻”计划。在50余年的历史中，经历了深海钻探计划、大洋钻探计划、综合大洋钻探计划和国际大洋发现计划四个阶段，执行了300多个航次的洋底钻探任务。所获得的海量、珍贵的洋底数据，如今保存在多个数据库中。这些数据包括了测井信息、岩芯基概况信息、物理属性信息、化学属性信息、岩石特征、古生物化石内容等观测和实验分析结果，数据量巨大。这些数据还通常附于相关的大洋钻探出版物中发表，部分被相关专业数据库收录。总体来看，大洋钻探目前的数字化工作存在多个数据库间数据类型不匹配和数据检索方式单调等问题，不利于后续对于数据的再挖掘和利用。未来需要重视综合性大数据平台的建设，将不同来源、不同类型的多源异构数据有效融合，互联互通，并充分利用已有的大数据技术手段支撑相关的科学研究。

International scientific ocean drilling dates back to the “Project Mohole” in the 1960s, and includes the later Deep Sea Drilling Project, Ocean Drilling Program, Integrated Ocean Drilling Program and International Ocean Discovery Program. Through over 300 ocean drilling tasks，a large amount of precious data have been obtained from the seafloor and now stored in multiple databases. Those data record the characteristics of the core samples in various aspects such as physical, chemical, lithological, micropaleontological, etc., as well as logging information. All the information has been acquired either from shipboard bservations and measurements or after-cruise experimental analysis. In addition to being stored in IODP databases, these data have been published in relevant journals of ocean drilling, and some were deposited in other professional databases. These data are difficult to combine all together because different data types among the databases and in each database, the data search routine is too simple for advanced use. To set up a comprehensive data platform to store and manage heterogeneous data from ocean drilling projects and integrate various services and functions processing the data for more broad use, will be a task for eological community in the future.
