1. A common global framework for marine data management Helen Glaves

2. Multidisciplinary, ecosystem level approach Requires large amounts of good quality, interoperable data Capture once – use many times Marine research

3. Oceanographic data  Wide range of measurements and variables

4. Wide range of measurements and variables Collected by multitude of research institutes, governmental organisations and private companies Oceanographic data

5.  Wide range of measurements and variables  Collected by multitude of research institutes, governmental organisations and private companies  Derived from broad spectrum of multidisciplinary projects/programmes

6. Oceanographic data  Wide range of measurements and variables  Derived from broad spectrum of multidisciplinary projects/programmes  Collected by multitude of research institutes, governmental organisations and private companies  Using various sensors to measure physical, chemical, biological, geological and geophysical parameters

7. Data acquistion  Sensors installed on various platforms:  Research vessels  Satellites  Buoys/floats/gliders  Aircraft  Submersibles  Fixed moorings  Fauna

8. Barriers to re- using data Use of different Formats Standards Best practice Co-ordinate systems Technologies National and organisational data access policies 8

9. Regional data infrastructures A number of regional initiatives have developed marine data management infrastructures Promoted and supported by international organizations - UNESCO‘s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), GEO etc. BUT Implemented according to regional requirements and priorities USA Europe Australia

10. Ocean Data Interoperability Platform ODIP & ODIP2 EU-US-Australia collaborative projects Funded in parallel by European Commission, National Science Foundation (NSF) and Australian Government ODIP October 2012 – October 2015 ODIP2 May 2015 – May 2018 Promoting the development of a common global framework for marine data management

12. Marine Data Harmonisation IG Objectives  Promote the development of a common global framework for the management of marine data  Identify the challenges and barriers to establishing interoperability of data and services in the marine domain.  Promote the use of common standards and best practice across the marine data management community  Inform the activities of other RDA IG/WGs with relevant input and feedback from the marine domain  Disseminate the outcomes of relevant RDA WGs/IGs to the marine data management community
