National Framework forIntegrated Ocean Observing
System

• US Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and
  International GOOS efforts
  
• OCEAN.US/National Ocean Research Leadership
  Council Plan as requested by Congress in FY03
  appropriations language
  
• Various versions of ocean observing legislation
• National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)

ISOOS Components National Backbone Highest pri
ority variables National interest Federally-led
Contribute to regional observing systems Exp
National Water Level Observation Network
Regional Systems Target regional priorities Co
ntribute to national picture

Ocean.US Overarching Recommendations the n
eed for an integrated approach to data
dissemination and management the establishment
of government processes to build and sustain an
operational observing system for coastal and
oceanic environments

NOAA Plan for NOAAs role in ISOOS is in develo
pment (due end of summer) organizational framewor
k for ISOOS national backbone (e.g., water level)
data management, integration, archiving support
of regional systems NOS data portal as prototype
for NOAA portal
7
NOS Plans for Coastal Observing
Develop a coastal data portal to provide one
stop shopping for users of NOS
monitoring/observing information
Identify candidate demonstration projects which
emphasize and leverage existing expertise
Develop a set of national standards for
biological sampling of living marine resources,
working with NMFS and other experts
Create fully compliant FGDC metadata records
Coordinate with NOAAs Coastal Observing and
OCEAN.US efforts

NOAAs goals for COTS adhere to accepted stand
ards for data collection and management
benefit to NOAA and its customers from data
availability and use use as pilot for framing ISO
OS

COTS projects will be viewed as pilot regional
projects of ISOOS

Coastal Observing Technology System (COTS) Data
Management Workshop

• Goals
• Participants are knowledgeable about good data
  management and practices
  
• Protocols, standards, and documentation
• Participants agree to establish guidelines for
  data management practices to facilitate data
  sharing and integration nationally
