  1. Overview of IODE Peter PissierssensHead, Ocean Services IOC

  2. IODE: mission statement Established in 1961 ‘to enhance marine research, exploitation and development by facilitating the exchange of oceanographic data and information between participating Member States and by meeting the needs of users for data and information products’

  3. Data Centre Network • Network of nearly 70 Data Centres • World Data Centres Oceanography (3) • National Oceanographic Data Centres (64) • Responsible National Oceanographic Data centres

  4. Role of the NODC • A National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC) is a centralised facility for providing ocean data/information in a usable form to a wide user community; • Acquires, processes, quality controls, inventories, archives and disseminates data in accordance with national responsibilities; • Charged with the responsibility for conducting international exchange; • Traditionally, but not exclusively, deals with delayed mode data

  5. IODE organizational structure • IODE Committee • IODE national coordinators + all below • IODE Chair and Vice-Chair • IODE Officers • Chair, Vice-Chair, Chairs Groups of Experts, Directors WDCs Oceanography, Regional Coordinators. • Secretariat • HQ, Project offices

  6. IODE Activities • Expertise:Groups of Experts • GE-TADE (now Joint JCOMM/IODE ETDMP), GE-MIM, GE-BCDMEP • Global activities: • ASFA, GTSPP, GODAR, GOSUD, OceanExpert, MEDI, marineXML, OceanPortal, Regional Ocean Portals, OIT, OceanTeacher • Data policy • Capacity building: • National, regional

  7. Capacity Building • national & regional workshops/training courses • advisory missions • internships • regional data & information exchange networks (RECOSCIX-WIO, RECOSCIX-CEA, ODINEA, ODINAFRICA, ODINCARSA) • training tools: OceanTeacher

  8. IODE Yesterday • centralized data centre architecture (1/c) • delayed mode operation (weeks-year) • physical oceanography data (T,S,…) • QC, data archival and dissemination

  9. IODE today-tomorrow • decentralized model • more attention to chemical, biological data, coastal data • delayed mode + some real-time (close links with GOOS) • E2EDM • products and service oriented

  10. Traditional centralized model 1 NODC per country: full control User products/services Data acquisition NODC WDC

  11. User products/services Data acquisition Data acquisition Data acquisition Data acquisition Data Mgmt Data Mgmt Modeling Decentralized model WDC NODC NODC: coordinating, guiding role

  12. Technology? • 26/1: Alan Edwards: “Research in GMES: … Information Technology for improved accessibility to long-term data archives, implementation of metadata standards, actions for facilitating information retrieval and diisemination…”

  13. IODE: new Technology • Old problem: formats!! • Metadata standard: MEDI and JCOMM/IODE ETDMP pilot projects (centralized repositories, decentralized metadatabases, harvesters, automated generation by instruments,…??) • How make different systems exchange data • New solution: marineXML (ref Nic) • Framework: OIT

  14. marineXML • marine XML will support tracking of data from collection through to generation of integrated global and regional datasets. • marineXML can support metadata describing the data collection, quality control and subsequent processing. • The generation of data tagged with marineXML at the instrument level can enable automating processes like generation of metadata descriptions

  15. IODE involvement in mXML • ICES-IOC Study Group on the Development of Marine Data Exchange Systems using XML [SGXML] • EU Marine XML project

  16. SG-XML ToR • develop a framework and methodology for the use of XML …; • develop a work plan that within 4 years will lead to published protocolsfor XML …; • explore how to best define XML tags and structures so that many ocean data types can be represented using a common set of tags and structures. • test and refine these common tags and structures using case studies

  17. SG-XML membership • ICES • Pekka Alenius, Thierry Carval, Ray Cramer, Robert D. Gelfeld, Anthony Isenor, Philip Knight, Roy Lowry, Bernard Pelchat, Lesley Rickards, Helge Sagen, Jan Szaron, Jean Gagnon, Peiter Haaring, Ritta Olsonen, C. Haenen, Todd O'Brien, Lotta Fyrberg, Slawomir Sagan, Marcin Wichorowski • IODE • Robert Starek, Don Collins, Nick Mikhailov, Edward Vanden Berghe, Greg Reed

  18. EU project ToR • To produce a prototype marine data ontology framework for interoperability • To produce working demonstrations of the data interoperability framework • To develop a prototype MML specification • To advance the standardisation of a Marine Mark-up Language

  19. EU project members • Keiran Millard & Alsion Houghton (HR Wallingford) • Brian Matthews (CCLRC) • Torill Hamre (NERSC) • Francisco Hernandez (VLIZ) • Pieter Haaring (RIKZ) • Dan Pillich & Holger Bothien (SevenCS) • Nic Flemming (EuroGOOS)

  20. Ocean Information Technology (OIT) • significant advances in many branches of oceanography and marine science and technology… • rapid expansion in data and information …, to the point where our ability to manage and interpret this information is beginning to limit further progress • trend toward increased applied oceanography of a form that provides routine, reliable and sustained ocean and marine services for a variety of public good and commercial areas

  21. Capacity Building: new deal • Before: occasional training courses, internships • Now: ODIN strategy • Linking training, equipment, operational support • Regional context • Product and service oriented • Multi-stakeholder approach

  22. ODINAFRICA • Started 2001 • 20 African countries • 2 in MED region: Tunisia, Morocco • 2001-2003: 19 NODCs established • Data products and services developed • Data atlases, metadatabases, national ocean awareness activities, stakeholder meetings, national coordination teams established,… • 2004: ODINAFRICA-III

  23. Data Mgmt Modeling? ODINAFRICA-III 3 components: • coastal ocean observing system • data/information management • product development, end-user communication and information delivery system User products/services Data acquisition

  24. ODINAFRICA-III: observation • Physical • Sea-level, Water Temperature, Salinity, Currents, Surface Waves, Changes in Bathymetry, Changes in Shoreline Position, Sediment grain size, Attenuation of solar radiation , • Chemical • Sediment organic content, Dissolved inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon, Dissolved oxygen • Biological • Benthic biomass, Phytoplankton Biomass, Faecal Indicators

  25. ODINAFRICA-III: D&IM • strengthen NODCs to • (i) manage data streams from the coastal ocean-observing network; • (ii)obtain, analyse and disseminate operational in-situ measurements from global programs (e.g. Argo and ships-of-opportunity); and • (iii) obtain, analyse and disseminate Level 3 satellite imagery/analyses to the local/national community; • Integrate biogeographic and hydrological data steams into NODC systems; • delivery of selected CD-ROM databases • Upgrade internet access to all NODCs using VSAT and other available technologies and upgrade computer systems.

  26. MAMA (MedGOOS) – ODINAFRICA-III? • Expand/strengthen ODINAFRICA network in North Africa? • Use MAMA experience/expertise in all ODINAFRICA countries and vice-versa? • ODINAFRICA needs modeling expertise: what levels (using, developing) and where (national, regional…)

  27. Training Tool: ODIMeX • OceanTeacher to ODIMeX (2004-2007) = single integrated e-learning and expert system • expert and training resources for marine data management and marine information management needed by professional ocean data and information managers and scientistsinvolved in data management; • provide ocean researchers and students with the necessary knowledge to interact effectively with their national oceanographic data centres

  28. ODIMeX • Distance learning technology • Topics expansion: Remote Sensing, Biological data management, Operational oceanography data management, Modelling • Tools expansion: GIS, Programming, XML, development of WWW based services • Expanded audience:
