• the capability for researchers to archive data in a freely accessible online database accommodating the broadest possible range of rock and paleomagnetic data and associated information,
• search and visualization tools,
• the capability for downloading data to use in future research, and finally
• novel ways for scientists to collaborate online with colleagues, co-authors and students, using the website, tools and database in a protected/private manner, before their data are made public.
