Observatories Data Management Wksp

The Consortium hosted a multi-observatory workshop at the OceanUS office on March 24, 2005 to begin exploring developing common data management plans and formats across the national observatory programs NEON, CUAHSI, CLEANER, IOOS, and ORION. A prime driver for the meeting was to consider CyberInfrastructure within and across the environmental observatories, with a focus on developing as near compatible metadata as feasible for efficient cross-observatory data exchange. Several existing metadata projects were discussed as possible models including those in MMI, NEPTUNE, and LOOKING. Workshop discussions led to a cross-observatory initiative for a pilot project to use MMI as the basis for developing cross-observatory metadata synonyms among the observatory programs, a foundation for effective and integrated data communication across the diverse disciplines represented in the observatories.
