2. Background First ICAN workshop 2006 Oregon Coastal Atlas & the Marine Irish Digital Atlas (MIDA) participants Shared information on Atlas construction ICAN Workshops 2007, and 2008 How can Atlases share related information beyond borders? For ICAN workshop 2009 PNW has 2 atlases that are participating

3. OR Coastal Atlas Established in 2001 Created as a depot for traditional and digital information for decision-making in the Oregon Coastal Zone Audience: - Coastal planners - Network partners - Researchers - General public www.coastalatlas.net

4. WA Coastal Atlas Established in 1995 Created to assist local governments with Shoreline Management Planning Audience: - Local Governments - Fed/State/Tribal govts. - Researchers, policy makers, planners - General public www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/sea/sma/atlas_home.html

5. What is the ICAN Prototype? A web portal where people can search for spatial data from multiple coastal atlases A demonstration of how independent atlases can be connected Long Term: Develop an internationally enabled Coastal Web Atlas ontology Short Term: Proof-of-concept exercise to demonstrate the technology and use of standards Make connections within regional partnerships Build and strengthen atlas networks (West Coast, US, Europe, etc.) http://ican.ucc.ie/

6. How does it work? Virtual integration approach Data are not copied into any global ICAN Atlas Controlled Vocabularies/Ontologies (OWL) - Global Ontology (ICAN) - Local Ontologies (Oregon, Washington, etc) OGC Services (Catalog Service for the Web) Approach is a balance of technical Mediation and Harmonization

7. Controlled Vocabularies & Ontologies Controlled Vocabularies are list of terms Ontologies connect these terms to each other Ontology: A Knowledge Organization System Define concepts Define relationships between those concepts Local Ontology terms have local meaning but can be mapped to a Global Ontology Make it easier to search

8. Catalog Service for the Web Another OGC web service Allows requests for geographic “resources” across the Web using platform-independent calls Web Map Service (WMS) Web Feature Service (WFS) Web Coverage Service (WCS) CSW RequestResponse Get CapabilitiesMetadata about the types / operations the CSW supports Get RecordsMetadata records available, with possibility of filtering (bounding box, spatial, temporal, keywords search, etc.) Get Record By IDRecord with the specified ID

9. Sharing the Data Catalog CSW can be consumed by several clients When combined with an ontology (OWL), can result in powerful new search options CSW GeoNetwork or ESRI Portal Toolkit ICAN Prototype OCA OWL

West Coast Coastal Atlases Workshop April 23-24, 2009, Seattle, WA Over 30 participants from Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California Increase contact among coastal web atlas efforts on the west coast Inform each other of future plans and data gaps Explore opportunities for collaboration http://ican.science.oregonstate.edu/westcoast/
