4. IOOS and BIO TT IOOS Core mission: 7 societal benefit areas – –Public Health –Ecosystem Health –Living Resources –Weather and Climate –Maritime Operations –Natural Hazards –Homeland Security Variables: from 20 to 26 to ? Refined understanding of community needs Airlie / Development Plan / Summit / Today Biological data projects to date IOOS is NOT just about real time data. IOOS cannot do it all –organize towards community solutions –enable common standards and protocols –leverage other program efforts. 4

6. Recent and Ongoing Biological Data Projects 6 YearTitleDescription Partner/ Other Agency Involvement Purpose 2010- 2014 IOOS Biological Data Project Reconciled data/metadata standards and access services and best practices for Biological Data Federal (NOAA, USGS, NPS, USFWS) State Agencies (FWC, State DNRs), Academia Improve access to IOOS Biological Core Variables and enable Federal Agencies data Integration and end users applications 2012- 2014 Animal Telemetry Network (ATN) Data Assembly Center (DAC) End-to-end system that manages ATN data from collection through various levels of QC to delivery to user groups. Federal (NOAA, NAVY, NAVO, ONR, BOEM, MMC) Academia (Stanford Univ., UCSC) A data management capability to integrate and disseminate standard data for ATN community in the US

7. Recent and Ongoing Biological Data Projects 7 YearTitleDescription Partner/ Other Agency Involvement Purpose 2014- 2019 Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (BON) Funding three demonstration projects that will lay the foundation for the first national network to monitor marine biodiversity. NASA,BOEM, IOOS, & NOAA Demonstrate how a national operational marine biodiversity observation network could be developed. 2014- ongoing IWG-OP Biodiversity/Marin e Biodata Task Team Will inform BON data management and other biodata collection efforts. IOOS, MMC, NOAA/NMFS, OBIS/USA, BOEM, NASA, Smithsonian/Ten nenbaum Marine Observatories Network, NSF, Navy, ONR Primary goals: Improve availability and accessibility of marine bio data collected by fed. agencies or with federal funding Implementation of a federal marine bio data architecture within agencies.

8. Recent and Ongoing Biological Data Projects 8 YearTitleDescription Partner/ Other Agency Involvement Purpose 2002 - present OBIS/USA Improving access to Federal biological data through a DMAC-based process USGS - expertise in biological informatics and data management and technology integration IOOS - linkages to the Observing community and the technology framework Address several agencies need to access and analyze marine biological data Support requirement to provide public access to agency Improve open access to data generated with federal funding
