  2. Motivation behind Ecowatch • “Protect, Restore and Manage the use of Coastal, Ocean and Great Lake Resources through an Ecosystem Approach to Management (EAM).” • EcoWatch is a Regional Spatial Data Infrastructure to make geographic data more accessible to the public using ESRI Geoportal Server technology

  3. Motivation behind Ecowatch • EcoWatch will feed into the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) while providing a data management infrastructure. • National Spatial Data Infrastructure is defined as the technologies, policies, and people necessary to promote sharing of geospatial data throughout all levels of government, the private and non-profit sectors, and the academic community.

  4. Motivation behind Ecowatch • EcoWatch Catalog is focused on the Gulf of Mexico. • It is by design a subset of mega-collections like data.gov.   Original and remaining intent was to avoid overwhelming the user in search of specific GOM data with extraneous results through use of geographic and semantic filters that leverage the enhanced EcoWatch metadata -- quickly get you what you are looking for. • EcoWatch Catalog to span Federal, State, local and academic data collections such that a user: • (1) would not have to jump to numerous sources/websites to simply attempt to discover the data   • (2)  a reasonable assumption of completeness for the Gulf of Mexico could be made (original example is metadata for all publicly available seagrass maps and data for the Gulf was housed in EcoWatch). • EcoWatch Catalog metadata strives to provide a link to the data itself from the authoritative source.   • Strives to provide a direct link to the data

  6. Marine Ecoregions of the World (MEOW) 

  7. Federated Search Result Sources: • NOAA YouTube • OER YouTube • EPA EDG • NCDC • NGDC • NODC • EcoWatch Catalog Record Sources: • GoMA • Gulf Atlas • DISL • NCDDC IMS • USACE • MSU-NGI • PHINS • FWRI

  8. What We Learned • Update your metadata----consistently! • Adopt best practices! • Apply appropriate keywords! • Come up with a plan to avoid duplication of records and communicate that plan with the data providers!

  9. Continue record clean-up Validation Classification Continue record population Harvest or Federate from “Authoritative” resource Add Browse Tab Capability Next Steps
