SCAR/COMNAP Joint Committee on Antarctic Data Management Using existing and effective infrastructures Building a system of systems Avoiding duplication and re-inventing the wheel Avoiding divergence Furthering convergence
SCAR/COMNAP Joint Committee on Antarctic Data Management • Researchers within • one of the SCAR Scientific Research Programmes • & • the SCAR/SCOR Expert Group on the Southern Ocean • request a database of (all) historical and current temperature and salinity profiles of the Southern Ocean. • Keywords: • online • one format
SCAR/COMNAP Joint Committee on Antarctic Data Management • First idea: • hire a summer student • surf the web for Southern Ocean data • reformat data • make web interface
SCAR/COMNAP Joint Committee on Antarctic Data Management Use existing systems and infrastructures which were designed to do this job Make sure that these ‘systems’ will function
SCAR/COMNAP Joint Committee on Antarctic Data Management • JCADM has started mobilizing: • International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange Committee (IODE) • 66 NODCs • RNODC for the Southern Ocean • WDC system • AMD, EDMED, MEDI - Discovery metadata directories • Large research programmes: • WOCE • JGOFS-SO • ARGO
SCAR/COMNAP Joint Committee on Antarctic Data Management • Many Southern Ocean datasets are not in this system • Formal approach • Remind nations/NODCs about the obligations following the Antarctic Treaty, Article III-1c • Realistic approach: • Involve the superiors of the scientists and data managers • Partnership for Observing the Global Ocean (POGO) = directors of all larger oceanographic institutes in the world
