Data Integration and Framework Team
The seamless sharing of ocean observing data and model information is essential for the potential of stakeholder-driven ocean observing to be realized. It is a prerequisite for efficiently building truly valuable decision support tools. NERACOOS continues to lead the nation in the development and application of DIF technologies and standards. This work has been achieved in partnership with NOAA IOOS DIF and the NorthEast Coastal and Ocean Data Partnership (NECODP), an expansion of the Gulf of Maine Ocean Data Partnership (GOMODP) to the whole NERACOOS region in 2009. NEODP facilitates representation of and dissemination to a greater constituency than is possible with the NEARCOOS DIF team. Our observing system data is discoverable through the NOAA IOOS registry, accessible through nationally recognized standards, and has been used by multiple third party organizations to produce value-added products. We have helped other organizations such as The Nature Conservancy share and distribute their data.
An initial work group has been recruited by the board to address data management coordination in the region and beyond. A member of this work group will represent the region at the national level, working with the IOOS DIF efforts.
