This article discusses the challenges and solutions in defining and acquiring key non-framework coastal and marine data layers, promoting interoperability, consistency, and adoption of data standards. Additionally, it addresses the lack of institutional structure for prioritization, stewardship, and formal data exchange at regional scales.

From Roger’s Pontification: • Work on defining, and targeting for acquisition key “non-framework” coastal / marine data layers • Work towards interoperability and consistency between local, regional, national data and CWA scales • Promote adoption of standards for data documentation, discovery & exchange
Challenges • No standing bodies to provide the institutional structure that would be needed to make progress on regional coastal / marine “non-framework” layer prioritization, stewardship or formal data exchange • Framework stuff: metadata, standards, semantic interoperability, etc. is a challenging topic to advocate for…
It’s not that bad :) • Metadata with keywords • Catalog Services (CSW) • Local ontology • Ontology mappings • Registration with interoperability mediator
