  1. SISMER Systèmes d’Informations Scientifiques pour la Mer French National Oceanographic Data Centre Michèle Fichaut, Loic Petit de la Villéon

  2. History and missions of the data centre • SISMER (Systèmes d'Informations Scientifiques pour la Mer) is the Designated National Oceanographic Data Centre for France (French NODC) for the International Oceanographic Data Exchange programme (IODE) of UNESCO Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC). • It was created in 1990, following the former “Bureau National des Données Océaniques” (BNDO created in 1968) and belongs to the Informatics and Marine Data Department (IDM) of IFREMER, the main French government research agency devoted to ocean research and exploitation.

  3. IFREMER • IFREMER (the French Institute of Research and Exploitation of the Sea), a public institute of industrial and commercial nature, created by a decree of 5 June 1984, is the only French body with an exclusively maritime vocation. • It is placed under the joint authority of the Ministries of Research and Technology, of Fisheries and Equipment and Transport. • Annual budget : 150million €, • 1700 executives, researchers, engineers, seamen, technicians and administrative staff • Around 70 laboratories of research or service departments, located in 5 centres (Boulogne-sur-mer, Brest, Nantes, Toulon, Tahiti) and 21 stations along the entire coastline of metropolitan France and in French overseas territories • 7 vessels (3 for coastal seas) , 1 manned + 1 remote submersibles (Nautile and Victor), various anchored and drifting platforms equipped with scientific instruments.

  6. SISMER missions • To design and operate scientific information systems and databases in the domain of the sea; • To set the standards of quality to be respected for data storage; • To maintain an inventory of information systems and databases, the responsible scientists and rules for their availability; • To represent IFREMER within national and international authorities concerned with the management of sea data; • To provide training and transfer of knowledge within its field of competence.

  7. SISMER projects SISMER contributes to the data management system of several thematic and regional projects, in National, European and International  partnership and in collaboration with other data centres.

  18. Quality Assurance : delayed mode data • Methodology QC0 : Check the format and the completeness of the information QC1 : Check the location and date QC2 : Check the data points • Results GTSPP Quality flag to each numerical value (Physical-bio-chemical data) • References - Standards • CIEM-Marine Data Management working Group (CIEM) • UNESCO/COI/IODE : International Oceanographic Data & Information Exchange

  19. QC1 Control of the location and Date - Data collected in station

  32. Where? Geographical Selection

  33. WHAT? WHEN? WHO? HOW?

  34. Publication Tools • Data products on Cdrom • data selection through several criterions including geographical areas – several output formats including ODV compatible, NETCDF and MEDATLAS

  35. Manual Data Dissemination + • web site: about 1000 hit /day (excluding robots), a third of it for the cruise catalogue • Coriols Site: > 1000 data access/year

  36. Conclusions: Main Recent Activities (2007-2008) • Enlarge the « on line data access » -Nautilus- to other databases (mainly related to geosciences data) • Devellop a new QC tool (SCOOP²) which take in account both NRT & DM requirements • Coordination of SeaDataNet • Enlarge the SeaDataNet Concept to geosciences data (Geoseas proposal) • Improvement of the communication with the users/providers community: How to improve the visibility and get a better feedback from the users ? How to improve the data compilation? • University Courses (E. Moussat, M. Fichaut, G. Maudire) • International Conference IMDIS 2008 • French Users Forum + letter (in French, 440 copies disseminated)

  37. Conclusions: • SISMER is present on all the main aspect of ocean data management • It includes: • Conventional data management • Physical & bio-chemical data archiving • Geophysical, geological data archiving • Data from french research vessels • Data management for operational oceanography • Coastal operational oceanography –CDOCO) • Open Ocean operational oceanography –Coriolis • Reference Data • GIS dataWith an effort to joint our efforts each time it is possible
