  1. The Ocean Research Coordination Network interdisciplinary collaboration Jay Pearlman IEEE Albert Williams 3rd WHOI Presented at: Oceans and Society: Blue Planet Symposium Ilhabela, Sao Paulo, Brazil November 19-21, 2012

  2. Ocean Research Coordination Network The OCEAN Research Coordination Network (RCN) fosters a broad, multi-disciplinary dialogue for more effective use of ocean observing systems and data/modeling infrastructure to inform societal decisions. Funded by a grant from NSF

  3. RCN Members

Scientific facilities, research communities Open Data Working Group Charter Define the meaning of open data; Identify key factors impacting data exchange, data use and data sustainability; Identify trends in data technology, use and policy, Address the business models for sustainability of open data With such factors in mind, recommend options on key issues.

  6. Data Standards and Formats Accessibility of data is the most critical problem that needs to be addressed. This can be improved through standards and informal special arrangements. The challenges are in the areas of semantics and automation of workflows. In addition, the newer web 2.0 social media and citizen observations would benefit from data standards when they emerge. “Linking Open Data cloud diagram, by Richard Cyganiak and Anja Jentzsch. http://lod-cloud.net/”

  7. Data Access Models Two factors that weigh heavily in the challenge of fully open data are the intellectual property rights and the business models that allow free access to data. Data publishing needs to be recognized as an intellectual contribution supported by DOI references. Web-based journals are changing the environment with low overhead and volunteer production. Open access models need to become adopted by sponsors.

  8. Data Publishing Optimum accessibility and usability of data presuppose a trajectory of proper organization and curation of data, with access services and analysis tools that provide the researchers with added value. Repositories of referenced data are gaining acceptance (such as the Marine Biological Lab at WHOI Library)

  9. RCN Working Groups • Web Seminars on “Ocean Mysteries” • Web-based Course Lectures • Exchange activities (TBD) Outreach/education

  10. Ocean MysteriesA Web Seminar Series A monthly web seminar series on Ocean Research and Adventure Rita Colwell “Oceans, Climate and Human Health: the Cholera Paradigm” October 16 2012 Tony Haymet “From Chemistry to Antarctica to Scripps Oceanography: one journey” November 8 2012 Don Walsh “Going the Last Seven Miles” January 8 2013 Register for seminars in advance at www.oceanmysteries.net Audiovisual recordings available at oceanobsnetwork.org
