SCADM coordinates the Antarctic Data Management System (ADMS). The ADMS is composed of:
- The Antarctic Metadata Directory (AMD)
- The National Antarctic Data Centres (NADCs)
The NADCs are a link between Antarctic scientists and the AMD. Antarctic scientists are responsible for creating metadata, but are also the major beneficiaries of the system.
