John Graybeal: MMI Project Lead and Beyond

Summary

I lead the Marine Metadata Interoperability Project. In this role, I emphasize the community's shared ownership of the work, and facilitating the entire MMI activity. I have a passing knowledge of a ridiculously large number of standards and specifications, a fairly detailed interest in semantics and meaning and ways of capturing them, and experience leading the building and operation of computer systems.

I am the Product Manager with the Ocean Observatories Initiative Cyberinfrastructure project. In this role I help specify the project, contribute to the architectural development of the system, and, like everyone else on the project, pitch in as needed to make the project successful.

Previously, at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, I was a Software Engineer, working primarily on oceanographic data management applications (see the SSDS web site) and operations.
