Arctic Research Foundation Unstructured Data

The Arctic Research Foundation (ARF) is a private, non-profit organization creating a new kind of scientific infrastructure for the Canadian Arctic, through its operation of efficient, cutting-edge research vessels and selfpowered mobile labs. It coordinates and catalyzes scientific, cultural and economic research in the Arctic. It partners with governments, universities and other research institutions that require access to innovative infrastructure to conduct program initiatives in the Arctic. It builds relationships with Arctic Indigenous peoples to advance the understanding of the region with traditional knowledge. Over the years—especially in the current era of big data, ARF has generated and collected a huge volume of big data. These include animal stock assessments, hydrographic and bathymetric data, information on soil and salinity samples, information and analysis on changing ice conditions, as well as data generated through ARF Naurvik plant production pod. However, these disparate data from across the Arctic need to be managed, catalogued and made accessible through a publicly-accessible database.
