Project Introduction

IOOS DMAC Metadata Expert Team

graybeal — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 23:32:00 -0800

The IOOS DMAC Steering Committee has formed a number of expert teams to provide feedback and guidance to the Steering Committee.

The Metadata Expert Team consists of roughly 15 people from many organizations and areas of expertise around the country. The team began meeting in telecons at least monthly in 2006, to establish its goals and organize the metadata-related activities needed for IOOS.

Moss Landing Marine Metadata Conference 2003

bowerp — Mon, 25 Apr 2005 11:28:00 -0700

The purpose of the workshop is to identify and describe important metadata fields for the marine science community. The workshop will include a facilitator and participants from approximately 20 agencies, non-profits, for-profit corporations and academic institutions. The participant list will represent the unique combination of marine science, data management and GIS expertise. The event will focus on identifying the metadata fields and information necessary to describe certain types of marine data.

OceanSITES

graybeal — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:18:00 -0800

OceanSITES is a project designed to make time series data from long-term ocean reference stations widely available. The sizable international group has been meeting for several years, and has preliminary documents describing data distribution practices and a standard format for netCDF files. Their NetCDF implementation is based on the Climate and Forecast (CF) convention.

OOSTethys

The OpenIOOS Interoperability Demonstration represents a coastal sciences community effort to support integration of observational and forecast systems.

The OpenIOOS Interoperability Test Bed is a collaborative, multi-institutional initiative to demonstrate and advance data integration and interoperability among coastal ocean observing systems, both adacemic and government, across the U.S.

QARTOD: Quality Assurance of Real-Time Oceanographic Data

graybeal — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:34:00 -0800

QARTOD is a community-driven group that considers issues related to performing real-time quality assurance and quality control for oceanographic data. They have meetings on specific topics in this context.

Quality Assurance of Real-Time Ocean Data

graybeal — Mon, 25 Apr 2005 11:28:00 -0700

Advances towards an Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) have accelerated efforts to provide concurrent real time data quality information to a widely disparate user community. The first workshop for the Quality Assurance of Real-Time Ocean Data (QARTOD-I) for the coastal ocean observing community was hosted by the National Data Buoy Center from Dec 3 to Dec 5, 2003 at the Stennis Space Center.

SeaDataNet Project

graybeal — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 18:37:00 -0800

Project Introduction

The European Union has funded a significant multi-national, multi-system data management project called SeaDataNet. This 6-year project (2006-2011) will provide metadata, data and products as a unique virtual data centre. The project is constructing a standardized distributed system for managing the large and diverse data sets collected by the oceanographic fleets and the new automatic observation systems.
