2 Overview Gulf of Mexico Alliance Ocean and Coastal Mapping Regional Ecosystem Data Management (REDM) Q2O (QARTOD to OGC) Things to Consider 2

3 Gulf Of Mexico Alliance Partnership of the states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas Goal: Significantly increase regional collaboration to enhance the ecological and economic health of the Gulf of Mexico 3

4 Gulf Of Mexico Alliance Six initial priority issues regionally significant can be effectively addressed through increased collaboration Priority Issue Teams Water Quality for Healthy Beaches and Shellfish Beds Wetland and Coastal Conservation and Restoration Environmental Education Reducing Nutrient Inputs to Coastal Ecosystems Coastal Community Resiliency Identification and Characterization of Gulf Habitats Overarching Efforts Gulf of Mexico Ocean and Coastal Mapping and Monitoring Master Plan Data Management 4

5 Gulf Of Mexico Alliance Identification and Characterization of Gulf Habitats The Governors Action Plan identifies one associated action: ID-1: Create and provide access to interactive habitat maps for priority Gulf of Mexico habitats Sample of data needs bathymetry, lidar, side scan, sediments, bottom character, oyster beds, seagrass, emergent vegetation, submerged aquatic vegetation Supporting Products Priority Habitat Information System (PHINS) Digital Library and Spatial Data Viewer - USGS, USACE, NOAA worked together to build the PHINS portal - Other federal and state agencies, universities, and NGOs contribute their data - PHINS three main features: Digital Library, Map Viewer, Metadata Tool Ecosystem Data Assembly Center - NCDDC, NMFS, MSU, NRL, NAVO, NGI - support ecosystem observations and other related data collected in GoMex 5

6 Ocean and Coastal Mapping Goal: improve the efficiency of the nation's ocean and coastal mapping activities Interagency Working Group: USGS, NOAA, USACE, MMS provide information about planned, current, and completed mapping activities all types of data that describe the earth initial priorities will emphasize activities and data sets: elevation (bathymetry/hydrography/topography) shorelines surface characterization (sea floor mapping, landcover classifications) seismic data 6

7 Regional Ecosystem Data Management (REDM) Architecture that supports NOAA Ecosystem Goal Team and Integrated Ecosystem Assessments (IEAs) GCOOS sources of data for IEAs: contributes to REDM Semantic search capabilities, vocabulary management, affiliations, etc. in REDM can be utilized by GCOOS ecowatch.ncddc.noaa.gov 7

8 REDM - GOMA PIT Data Management Composite View Notification Subscription REDM Catalog Middleware Middleware Archive Metadata Data Planning MERMAid Subscription Middleware Parent-level Metadata Collection Storage Semantic Metadata Collection Remote Sensing Collection-level Collection-level Metadata Metadata 45 Day Day Data Data Cache Cache 45 PIT 1 PIT 6 PIT 5 PIT 2 PIT 3 PIT 4 GCOOS DMAC February 23-24,

9 Regional Ecosystem Data Management (REDM) GCOOS GOMA Activities Decision Support Tools Pull or Push Portal Access GCOOS Data Streams REDM Data Discovery Data Integration Data Fusion EAS PIT Data Streams Collection Data Access EAS User Community Archive & Stewardship EAS (Encryption & Authentication s) Data Centers & Centers of Data Management Objectives 9

10 Q2O (QARTOD to OGC SWE) 10

11 A Few Things to Consider New partners / different data / different perspectives on data management Coordination with GOMA data management activities How can GCOOS support the data needs for GOMA Priority Issues How do the GOMA Priority Issue Teams contribute data into GCOOS Ocean and Coastal Mapping activities Consider the benefit to stakeholders to connect to these survey data through GCOOS Regional Ecosystem Data Management Q2O Approach to semantic search enhance GCOOS data discovery Broaden REDM with additional community-driven data classifications (thematic vocabularies) Capturing quality control in an OGC SWE framework Coordination with DIF Process for extensibility of GCOOS DMAC to new data sources 11
