• • • Paradigm shift from traditional discipline based marine research Multidisciplinary ecosystem level approach: promoted in Europe by Marine Strategy Framework directive MSFD (2008) and Marine Knowledge 2020 Requires large amounts of good quality, interoperable data from a range of disciplines and organisations

Barriers to re-use of marine data

 Use of different  Formats  Standards  Best practice  Co-ordinate systems  Technologies  National and organisational data access policies 3

E-infrastructures

 A number of regional initiatives have made significant progress in addressing these barriers by developing marine data management infrastructures  Development of these infrastructures is being promoted and supported by international organizations such as UNESCO‘s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC)

ODIP: Objectives

 To establish an EU/USA/Australia/IOC-IODE co-ordination platform to facilitate the interoperability of ocean and marine data management infrastructures  To demonstrate this co-ordination through the development of several joint prototype interoperability solutions that allows effective sharing of marine and ocean data across scientific domains, organisations and national boundaries  Development of a common approach to marine data management that can be extended to other regions and organisations beyond the original project consortium

Overall strategy

Development of a collaboration platform to facilitate organised dialogue between key organisations in Europe, USA and Australia involved with marine data management. Achieved by:  Creating inventories of existing standards and policies  Publication of these existing standards and best practice through ODIP portal and Research Data Alliance  Regular joint workshops to develop interoperability solutions and/or agree on common standards  Development of prototypes for testing and evaluating potential interoperability solutions  Dissemination /promotion of ODIP activities to encourage wider participation and adoption of the outcomes of the project

Progress to date……….

 1 st ODIP workshop: Ostende, Belgium (February 2013)  Addressed 6 discussion topics  Resulted in an extensive list of actions  Formulated into three prototype interoperability solution development tasks  2 nd ODIP workshop: San Diego, USA (December 2013)  Addressed three discussion topics and implementation plans for the prototype development tasks  Initiation of 3 prototype interoperability solution development tasks

ODIP 1: objective

 Establishing interoperability between the SeaDataNet, IMOS and NODC data discovery and access services using brokering services  Lead by European partners via SeaDataNet  Initially addressing use of brokers at the metadata level  Progress to data access services (possibly including authentication and authorisation systems)

ODIP 1: the plan

 make use of the (Euro)GEOSS Brokerage harmonise the 3 regional services to a common level  SeaDataNet (Europe)  IMOS (Australia)  NODC (USA)  start at metadata level, but progress to data access, including providing solutions for possible AAA systems  use the broker to facilitate access to data from the regional services by the GEOSS and Ocean Data Portals

ODIP 2: objective

 ODIP 2: Establishing interoperability between cruise summary reporting systems in Europe, the USA and Australia  Lead by Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) partners (USA)  Improvement of delivery and exchange of cruise summary information through the use of common formats and vocabularies  Use of GeoNetWorks for routine harvesting of cruise data for delivery via the Partnership for Observation of Global Oceans (POGO) portal

ODIP 2: the plan

 Publish ISO Cruise Summary Reports at regional nodes:  Marine National Facility (Australia)  SeaDataNet (Europe)  R2R (USA)  Deploy GeoNetwork catalogues at regional nodes providing both a GUI (web portal) and API (CSW service)  Harvest GeoNetwork nodes into POGO global catalogue

ODIP 3: objective

 Establishment of a prototype for a Sensor Observation Service (SOS) for selected sensors installed on vessels and in real-time monitoring systems using sensor web enablement (SWE)  Lead by AODN (Australia)  regional initiatives progress towards the adoption of SWE allowing direct standardised access to the data from operational sensor systems

ODIP 3: the plan

 establish a collaboration tool (Github)  compile inventory of SOS services and their endpoints  compile inventory of instrument SensorML records & O&M structures  compile inventory of vocab and registry services  Working groups to assess SOS performance  propose templates for SensorML/StarFl and O&M profiles  examine vocabulary services and potential mappings  Set-up a test bed

ODIP 3: the plan

Testbed - Progress so far…

(Scott Bainbridge)  Set up two public open SOS servers, one running V4.0 of the 52North SOS server, the other running V3.6;  Both servers are fully open, that is anyone can undertake the full SOS set of requests including registering sensors and adding data;  Currently data from the IMOS FAIMMS Sensor Network is going into the servers, more data can be added to look at load testing if need be;  Both servers form an ideal platform for client development and service chaining experiments.

SOS v4.0

 Base Address: http://115.146.93.169:8080/IMOS-SOS/  XML Address: http://115.146.93.169:8080/IMOS-SOS/sos/pox/  So far two Features of Interest:  IMOS/DAVIES/SF1 = Sensor Float 1 at Davies Reef  IMOS/HERON/RP8= Relay Pole 8 at Heron Island  With two Parameters:  Water temperature (Deg. C.)  Depth (m)

SOS v3.6

 Base Address: http://130.220.209.177:8080/IMOS-SOS-36/  XML Address: http://130.220.209.177:8080/IMOS-SOS-36/sos/  Will be set up with the same Features of Interest and Parameters as the V4 server;  Supports both SOS V1 and SOS V2.

OGS (Elena Partescano, Alessandra Giorgetti)

Testing a SOS service linked to the meteo oceanographic MAMBO1 buoy (in the North Adriatic Sea) and the observatory site E2M3A (in the South Adriatic Sea) Installed a OGC 52° North Sensor Observation Service 3.5 ( http://nodc.ogs.trieste.it/SOS/sos ) and a SOSClient ( http://nodc.ogs.trieste.it/SOSclient ) For testing: MAMBO1 - all CTD and pH sensors – and E2M3A pH sensor - (pH data for both buoys, stored using O&M format). The SensorML 1.0 are compiled using, where possible, the SeaDataNet vocabularies and EDIOS catalog.
