As information and communication technology has become pervasive in our society, we are increasingly dependent on both digital data repositories that provide access to enable the use of such resources. Repositories must earn trust communities they intend serve demonstrate reliable capable appropriately managing hold.
The oceans play a key role in global issues such as climate change, food security and human health. Given their vast dimensions internal complexity, efficient monitoring predicting of the planet's ocean must be collaborative effort both regional scale. A first foremost requirement for observing is need to follow well-defined reproducible methods across activities: from strategies structuring systems, sensor deployment usage, generation data information products, ethical governance aspects...
The World Data System (WDS), a member of the International Science Council, serves membership over 150 trusted data repositories and related organizations. It builds on sharing legacy Centers that were initiated seven decades ago. Governed by Scientific Committee, WDS consists an Program Office (WDS-IPO) based in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA, Technology (WDS-ITO) Victoria, BC, Canada. mission is to enhance capabilities, impact, sustainability our services. In this presentation, we outline 2025...
After outlining the structure and mission of World Data System (WDS), our presentation at FDO Summit Berlin describes how WDS provides a multi-faceted approach to accelerating FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs) by evaluating, reusing extending previous FAIRification work, providing testbeds improve automation prioritization. Based on feedback from planned knowledge transfer dissemination activities, Implementation Profiles (FIPs) Enabling Resources (FERs) can be evaluated interoperability between...
Abstract The STRings for Absorption length in Water (STRAW) are the first a series of pathfinders Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE), future large-scale neutrino telescope north-eastern Ocean.

The advent of large-scale cabled ocean observatories brought about the need to handle large amounts ocean-based data, continuously recorded at a high sampling rate over many years and made accessible in near-real time science community public. Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) commenced installing operating two regional on Canada’s Pacific Coast, VENUS inshore NEPTUNE offshore 2000s, later expanded include Atlantic Arctic 2010s. first data streams from instrument nodes started flowing February...
The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Explorer (P-ONE) collaboration was born to build a new large-scale neutrino telescope in the Ocean, at 2600 m b.s.l. Cascadia Basin, off Vancouver Island. first steps aimed feasibility study and characterisation of optical properties site with pathfinder project named STRAW (STRing for Absorption length Water), deployed 2018. During last two years, second has been developed: STRAW-b. main goal STRAW-b is validate attenuation already measured by add information on...
Precisely identifying arbitrary subsets of data so that these can be reproduced is a daunting challenge in datadriven science, the more if underlying source dynamically evolving.Yet, an increasing number settings exhibit exactly those characteristics: larger amounts being continuously ingested from range sources (be it sensor values, [online] questionnaires, documents, etc.), with error correction and quality improvement processes adding to dynamics.Yet, for studies reproducible,...
The Web-enabled Awareness Research Network project (WARN) implements the data acquisition, event detection and correlation aspects of an integrated geo-hazard alert system. Among its innovative aspects, it enables a rapid integration real or simulated with research operational models tsunami earthquake impacts prediction. intent is to lead delivery early warning urban areas, coastal communities key infrastructure operators. Figure 1 provides overview generic system toplevel architecture...
In December 2009, the NEPTUNE Canada ocean observatory successfully launched to public, allowing anyone with an Internet connection access data. This event also officially marked a transition from infrastructure development fully operational observatory. Given that this occurred only few months after instrument platforms were deployed at four nodes, was considerable achievement. Notably, quick turnaround presented significant change for principal investigators who normally have much more...
The instrumentation for a pathfinder mission towards possible large scale neutrino telescope named "STRings Absorption length in Water" (STRAW) is presented terms of design and performance. In June 2018 STRAW was deployed at the Cascadia Basin site operated by Ocean Networks Canada has been collecting data since then. At depth about 2600 meters, two 120 meters tall mooring lines are instrumented three "Precision Optical Calibration Modules" (POCAM) five Digital Sensors (sDOM). main...
The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE) is an initiative by a collaboration of Canadian and German universities as well Networks Canada (ONC) to develop new large-scale neutrino telescope 2600 m below the ocean off coast western Canada. While instrumented volume needs be at least on order km³ for physics goals P-ONE met, density photo sensors kept low possible in minimize construction costs. Naturally, this puts very high demands optical properties water deployment site. Ideally,...
Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) operates ocean observatories on all three of Canada's coasts. The instruments produce 300 gigabytes data per day with over 600 terabytes archived so far. majority this is acoustic, both passive (335 TB) and active (20 TB). This demonstrates the unprecedented capability cabled to provide unlimited power for high bandwidth, continuous acquisition. Handling a challenge. Metadata, calibration, quality control, access must be considered. volume too great most users...
Abstract Since 2018, the potential for a high-energy neutrino telescope, named Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE), has been thoroughly examined by two pathfinder missions, STRAW and STRAW-b, short STRAW-b. The P-ONE project seeks to install detector with one cubic kilometer volume in Cascadia Basin's deep marine surroundings, situated near western shores of Vancouver Island, Canada. To assess environmental conditions feasibility constructing that scale, have deployed at depth 2.7 km...
The Pacific Ocean Neutrino Experiment (P-ONE) is a new initiative to construct one of the world’s largest neutrino detectors in deep off coast British Columbia, Canada. Located Cascadia Basin region, P-ONE builds on number key strengths within Canadian oceanographic community. monitoring site part NEPTUNE observatory Networks Canada (ONC), which provides power and data connections various ocean sites, accessible experiments. In cooperation with ONC, collaboration successfully deployed two...
The Observatory Operations Division at Ocean Networks Canada (ONC) is responsible for the maintenance and operation of entire digital marine infrastructure across VENUS, NEPTUNE, Cambridge Bay facilities. Depending on planned work, environment scheduling limitations, various ships Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are contracted numerous expeditions conducted each year. For instance, during August September 2015, ONC will be conducting four major concurrently with multiple (EV Nautilus, RV...
In December 2009, after years of planning, preparations and extensive infrastructure deployment, the world's first regional-scale underwater ocean observatory was open for business. NEPTUNE Canada opened its instrument network data archive to free access by anyone willing register an account. Thus, we have embarked on a journey transform our into online platform collaborative, multidisciplinary e-science. Four main areas Internet-mediated activity characterize e-science: provision, analysis...
