The Geoscience Data Repository (GDR) is a collection of Earth Sciences Sector geoscience databases that is managed and accessed by a series of Information Services (GDRIS). The aim of the GDR is to standardize corporate databases and make them interoperable in order to increase the discovery, access and use of the geoscience information that the Sector has been mandated to collect and maintain.

The GDR is designed so that the data sets it contains for the applications of today will continue to be useful for the applications of tomorrow. This is accomplished by allowing the loading, discovery and access of these data sets through a suite of standard Web enabled services that allow for the easy integration of the GDR information into new applications.

The GDR was developed by the Earth Sciences Sector's Consolidating Canada's Geoscience Knowledge Program.
