Platform code request application provides improved tracking and overview of the SeaDataNet controlled vocabulary C17 and a user-friendly interface for requesting new Platform Codes.

To request a new platform code, a request form must be filled in with as much information as possible. Submitted requests are processed by ICES. After verification by ICES Data Centre, the Platform Group is notified, where the group members can provide comments on the request. Then the US NOAA (NCEI) gives the final approval. Once NOAA approves a new Platform Code, it is made available in the ICES Vocabulary Server.
