1. Data Interoperability and Access Activities Prepared for the Data Archiving and Access Requirements Working Group (DAARWG) Ken McDonald, TPIO/GEO-IDE Jeff de La Beaujardiere, IOOS Project Steve Hankin, PMEL/UAF Lead December 9, 2010

2. GEO-IDE Introduction and Overview – Ken McDonald IOOS Data Interoperability and Access – Jeff deLaBeaujardiere GEO-IDE Unified Access Framework (UAF) – Steve Hankin Discussion on Future Direction Session Agenda

3. Individual programs and projects have specific requirements for environmental data Historically they have individually addressed those needs Significant efficiencies to be gained by an enterprise approach to environmental observation and data management Even greater benefit by looking outward as well as inward Addressing NOAA’s Need for Enterprise Environmental Observation and Data Management

4. GEO-IDE Overview Purpose – Maximize use and utility of NOAA environmental data and information  Concept developed by the NOAA Data Management Integration Team (DMIT) Vision – A “system of systems”  Framework that provides effective and efficient integration of many quasi- independent systems Concept – Services-oriented architecture  Provides common services and leveraging the benefits of existing data management systems Implementation – A set of processes, guidelines and supporting activities  Work with and through programs and projects, NOAA-wide  Not intended to be a major development effort  Includes development of selected infrastructure elements and demonstration projects

5.
