Abstract:

Data organization is recognized as the core of website operation and maintenance. On the basis of a decade’s practice in building and maintaining the external website of Changjiang (Yangtze) River Scientific Research Institute, we expound the data organization in terms of data planning during construction, data management and data security during operation and maintenance. For the data planning, the data source was classified and data source statistical tables were  established to estimate data capacity; the data formats were determined to ensure data sharing;  proper database platform was selected in the light of adequate space, quick data extraction, and data security. Regarding data management, the responsible individual and updating frequency of columns were specified; various types of data were also differently treated; visualized backstage editing platform was adopted by data interface or direct links; static and dynamic web page were both employed to display the data; website-wide catalogue data retrieval has been developing to full-text data retrieval. Finally, the data security was guaranteed by facilities, access management and data backup.   

Key words: website, database, data organization, operation and maintenance, data security
