Seabed Survey Data Model
open-in-new
<p>The Seabed Survey Data Model (SSDM) is an <a href="/facts/Industry_standard_data_model/1JGvzHnG">industry standard data model</a> for how seabed survey data is stored and managed by oil and gas companies. The <a href="/facts/International_Association_of_Oil_%26_Gas_Producers/NYvRkodC">International Association of Oil & Gas Producers</a> (IOGP) developed and published this standard in October 2011. Many surveys have been successfully delivered in SSDM. </p><p>The SSDM template is provided as an Esri <a href="/facts/ArcGIS/pYPJ9GD5">ArcGIS</a> geodatabase, but other implementations of the model are allowed. </p>
