  1. Capacity Building and strategy for Ocean Data and Information Management held at Hyderabad, India during Dec 8-10, 2003

  2. Three Working Groups were formed to deliberate on specific issues related to Ocean Data and Information Management in the Indian Ocean Region

  3. Regional applications

  4. Parameters required Spatial and temporal resolution?

  5. SWG-2 • Create an e-group for communication between the members • Improve bandwith at various NODCs to a minimum 1 Mbps • Identify current format and tools

  6. Data Formats, Data Archival, Dissemination & Data Exchange Policies • Evolve a Data archival policy • Adopt a common strategy for data integrity and QC and flagging the metadata accordingly • IOC guideline have to be followed (data exchange and sharing) • Provide cost effective infrastructure

  7. Strategy for Ocean Data and Information Management in the Region • low-cost and efficient systems for acquisition, management, processing and interpretation of data • networking of countries • standardized operational data procedures, including QC and DM • high-quality data and time-series for a better understanding and improved management of the Indian Ocean ecosystem • Collaborate with other programs • Coordinate GOOS data acquisition with existing regional and national data • Publish meeting reports, workshops, studies and other documents

  8. Objectives and time lines were identified for IOGOOS Data & Information Management

  9. Strategic considerations • Need to sensitize and get commitment from Governments • Need to give due attention to local/national problems • Local problems often have regional/global sources. This is one of the important justification for regional approach of IOGOOS. • To solve local/national problems data might be required from other countries in IOGOOS region. • Need to establish balance between request/provision of data/services • Need to empower the countries in the region to generate their own services • Coastal / Climate require data at different scales

  10. Recommended processes to achieve the objectives • Identify national and regional problems by involving all national and regional institutions • Identify applications and services that will respond to problems • identify projects at national institutions that can provide observations and necessary data to deliver services and products • Identify regional partners, national partners, international partners viz. UNEP, FAO etc • Establish national network and coordinating mechanism among national institutions for data sharing. • Identify data sources also taking into consideration repatriation. • Organize data management, services, application dissemination and access modalities. • Need for regional and national data centre(s)

  11. Data and information management capacity building requirement • Detailed assessment of available capacity and requirements is to be done • The training programmes need to be aimed/designed for 3 user groups • Accelerated “ODIN+” programmes are required • Capacity building programmes addressing Modeling, data assimilation, satellite oceanography and data products are to be planned as part of IOGOOS.

  12. Structure & Coordination • At National Level, a mix of decentralized as well as centralized mechanism is to be adopted. • Coordination mechanism for data and information management at the Regional level. IOGOOS Secretariat was requested to take up this responsibility and Director, INCOIS agreed to identify a suitable technical person to assist Secretary, IOGOOS in this task. • A data management working group is to be set up with national contact points and experts as members to identify (i) standards and methods to be used by all members, (ii) data exchange mechanisms as well as (iii) identify regional service/application providers. • The need for a Regional Data Archive for the Indian Ocean was discussed and it was felt that this needs a detailed consideration during the next meeting of the Data and Information Management group. IOGOOS Secretariat/INCOIS was requested to generate a detailed proposal on the subject, addressing the scientific, technical, financial and policy issues
