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 NERC Science Information Strategy Data Citation and Publication project aims to develop formalise a method for formally citing publishing the datasets stored in its environmental data centres. It is believed that this will act as an incentive scientists, who often invest great deal of effort creating datasets, submit their suitable repository where it can properly be archived curated. citation publication also provide mechanism producers receive credit work, thereby encouraging them...
The open service network for marine environmental data (NETMAR) project uses semantic web technologies in its pilot system which aims to allow users search, download and integrate satellite, situ model from ocean coastal areas. is an extension of the fundamental ideas World Wide Web, building a through annotation metadata with hyperlinked resources. Within framework NETMAR project, interconnected resource was developed aid discovery validate Open Geospatial Consortium Web Processing Service...
The Maritime Spatial Planning process is data intensive, having to draw upon the best available coming from many different sources. There are, therefore, multiple challenges in managing spatial for inclusion Marine Plans. These include need integrity drive reproducibility; as well providing contextual information enable end users increase understanding potential be reused independently. This paper examines associated with Ireland's marine plan. It demonstrates how repeatability can achieved...
Where a virtual representation of the Earth must contain data values observed within physical system, models are required that allow integration across silos various and environmental sciences domains. Creating mapping between well-defined terminologies these is stubborn problem. This paper presents generalised ontology for use Web 3.0 services, which builds on European Commission spatial infrastructure models. The presented acknowledges there many complexities to description properties can...
Scales and otoliths (ear stones) from fish are routinely sampled for age estimation fisheries management purposes. Growth records scales can be used to generate long-term time series data, in combination with environmental reveal species specific population responses a changing climate. Additionally, scale otolith microchemical data utilized investigate habitat usage. A common problem associated biological collections, is that while sample intake grows, physical storage rarely priority, much...

In August 2015, a new seafloor observatory was deployed in Galway Bay, Ireland. The sensors on the platform are connected by fibre-optic cable to shore station, where broadband connection allows data transfer Marine Institute's centre. This setup involved development of acquisition system which takes advantage open source streaming solutions developed response Big Data paradigm, particular Velocity aspect. activity merges concepts from arenas both and Internet Things standardisation is not...
Abstract The International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange of UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Commission (IOC-IODE) released a quality management framework for its National Centre (NODC) network in 2013. This document is intended, amongst other goals, to provide means assistance NODCs establish organisational data systems. IOC-IODE’s also promotes the accreditation which have implemented Management Quality Framework adhering guidelines laid out framework. In submission IOCE-IODE...
Abstract The ability to access and search metadata for marine science data is both a key requirement answering fundamental principles of management (making Findable, Accessible, Interoperable Reusable) also in meeting domain-specific, community defined standards legislative requirements placed on publishers. This paper describes modular model answer the functional developed from these drivers illustrates how this can be operationalised. solution meet FAIR then assessed.
