Crew information occurs in the CMG InfoBank as:
- metadata -- information about names and affiliations of scientific staff and ship's crew, such as:
  biologist, chief scientist, computer analyst, data curator, electrical engineer, electronics technician, geochemist, geologist, geophysicist, mechanical technician, navigator, oceanographer, photographer, unspecified investigator, watchstander, chief engineer, chief mate, or ship captain.

A "time" key is associated with each record for correlation with other information datasets.

"Art is I; science is we." -- Claude Bernard
