ICAN 5: Coastal Atlases as Engines for Coastal & Marine Spatial Planning

deepseadawn — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 00:26:46 -0700

Start: 08/31/2011 - 00:00

End: 09/02/2011 - 23:59

The 5th International Coastal Atlas Workshop (ICAN 5) will be held at the headquarters of the UNESCO International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) in Oostende, Belgium, August 31 to September 2, 2011. IODE will then be co-hosting CoastGIS 2011 in Oostende immediately following. ICAN 5 will focus on coastal web atlases as engines that support and drive the coastal/marine spatial planning (CMSP) process, primarily in northern and southern Europe, the US, the Caribbean, and Africa.

Includes a glossary, references, etc. Metadata examples for different data types:

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.

OGC Creating URN Resolver

graybeal — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:50:00 -0800

The techical team at OGC is creating a system to resolve URNs (Uniform Resource Names), and would like your input.

The Open Geospatial Consortium has begun implementing a prototype service that relates internet uniform resource names, or URNs, to their corresponding web sites, or to other web resources. This service, called a URN resolver, is the first of its type for the environmental community. They would like feedback from the community on this service.
