Start: January 20, 2008

End: January 23, 2008

From previous symposia website

Hundreds of members of the marine science research community gather in Anchorage each year to see presentations on topics as diverse as benthic invertebrates, predation on killer whales and seabird/groundfish interactions. The latest modeling work is represented, as the most recent work in deciphering the mysteries of large-scale physical oceanography.

Currently, 2008 scheduled workshops include:

Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) 4th Annual Meeting

carynn — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 10:09:00 -0800

Start: July 30, 2007

End: August 4, 2007

AOGS2007 holds not only an exciting Scientific Program of talks and poster presentations, selected and approved by the Scientific Program Committee, but a series of public lectures and an exhibition, for geoscientists, fellow industry professionals and students to connect and synergise in the study of the Earth and Planets.

Auxiliary Description of Instruments

graybeal — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 18:36:00 -0800

In order to support defining metadata for instruments, GCMD is working on a content standard called AD-I, for Auxiliary Description of Instruments. This standard would serve to extend the DIF metadata currently accepted.

AD-I was introduced in draft form for Track 1 DIF work of the MMI Sensors Metadata Interoperability workshop.

Proposed Workshop Ideas

swatson — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 09:57:00 -0800

Three Workshop Types from NSF grant

Controlled Vocabulary Workshops: Describe where to find them, how to make new ones, and how to make them interoperable (e.g. publishing them in Web Ontology Language). Produce on-line materials from these workshops to make their content accessible to the community.

Introduction to Metadata

[John Graybeal, MBARI, Lead]

In this module, we will help scientists (and their teams) learn to use metadata to document their data sets. We will use typical oceanographic data sets to demonstrate this process. We encourage all scientists and data technicians who want to understand basic metadata principles to attend this training.
