SIOS will have both requirements and contribute to the brokering approach and its governance


What is SIOS?

SIOS Distributed Data Management System

How can SIOS use the brokering approach?


SIOS' goal is to build knowledge and capacity for scientists within Arctic research and connect observations in a multidisciplinary manner.


The Climate Observatory, including hydro-meteorological, radiation, and greenhouse gas related observations;The Solar-Terrestrial Observatory, covering upper atmosphere and solar-terrestrial exchange processes;The Pollution Observatory, covering pollution issues in the atmospheric, marine and biota environment;The Marine Observatory, including water column, sea-floor and sea-ice observations;The Geophysical Observatory, including glaciological, permafrost, geomorphologic, seismological and geodetic observations;The Terrestrial Ecosystem Observatory, including soil-related activities.

OPEN Data Policy



+ SIOS Data Products


Data submission through well developed documentation, best practices, interfaces and tools;

Data discovery through human and machine interfaces, focusing initially on index metadata harvested from contributing data centres. Online access to data sets, utilizing internationally accepted access mechanisms;

Data use by standardised documentation of data sets allowing users to access and understand data retrieved.;

Data transformation services, including sub-setting (by variable, geographical area or time), and re-projecting (changing the map projection) to ease scientific use of the data sets collected;

Long term preservation of data sets through mandated data archives;

SIOS will have both requirements and contribute to the brokering approach and its governance

Requirements: Scalable technology, open software, open data space

Contributions: Multidisciplinary*, multinational*, best practice, sustainable framework, development of the brokering technology, ...

*wide range of disciplines representing both science and culture – scientific vocabulary insufficient (meta data) non-machine readable, controlled vocabularies
