End-to-end Data Management for Operational Observation Systems
Presented to the Workshop on the
Ecological Impact of Hypoxia on Living Resources
Sharon MesickEcosystem Program Manager
NOAA Coastal Data Development CenterMarch 2007
Overview
• End-to-end data management projects
– SEAMAP / Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Watch
– WCO – NODC Conduit
• Adopting best practices for an Operational
Observation System
Five Data Management Functions
• Discover– Look, find and get data, data products and information
• Access– To data and information
• Archival– Storage and maintenance
• Products– Quality Assurance, development and maintenance
• Outreach– Facilitate stakeholder awareness
SEAMAP / Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Watch
• Partnership project
– NMFS, CoastWatch, NCDDC
• Manual data development process
– Interoperable standards addressed
• Metadata, geospatial
– Discovery, access, archive requirements
met
• Multiple public access points

NCDDC Data Development-------------------------
• Receive / QC data• Geospatially enable• Generate contours• Generate metadata• GIS Integration• Product generation
Multiple Public Access Points
• Direct Data Access
– Ocean Archive System
• Data Access
Applications
– Internet GIS
• Metadata Search
– NCDDC Portal
– FGDC Clearinghouse
– Geospatial One Stop
• General Access
– Hypoxia Web site

West Coast Observing System
• Partnership project– NMSP, CeNCOOS, PISCO, NODC, NCDDC, others
• Operational, end-to-end system– Automated, extensible system
– Interoperable standards addressed• OPeNDAP, metadata, geospatial
– Discovery, access, archive requirements met• Multiple public access points

End-to-End Hypoxia Data Management
Summary
• WCOS – demonstrates an operational, automated system– Readily extensible
• Coral Reef Early Warning System• Flower Garden Banks, other NMS
• Proposed hypoxia data management system ensures a strong integrated approach– Consistent data standards and procedures– Engages regional partners in data assembly– Supports discovery, access, delivery, and archive– Real-time, NRT and collections
