  12. 1. Summary on results and achievements “(vi)Promote collaboration between relevant experts in integrated marine data management in IOC programmes and projects, other organisations and systems” Approaches and methods are studied with respect to: • mechanisms of interaction (data, metadata and services) with EMODNet Physics; • mechanisms of interaction (data and metadata provision) with ODIP and SeaDataCloud; • meeting the requirement and recommendations of the Inter-Programme Expert Team on for Integrated Marine Meteorological and Oceanographic Services within WMO and IOC Information Systems (IPET-MOIS); • interaction and interoperability of WIS with the World Data System (WDS, updated ICSU WDC system) and the GEO/GEOSS system. Above listed results formed the basis of the IODE ODP of new generation that serves as an infrastructure of the IOC Oceanographic Data and Information System (ODIS). The prototype of the ODIS component related to metadata management is under design. Review of the Ocean Data Portal (ODP) Partnership Centre (10-13 September, Obninsk, Russian Federation)

  13. 2. Users and clients Users: • Average number of IODE ODP unique visitors is 2 700/year. Geography – worldwide. Registered users – over 100 (global node + ODIN nodes). Clients: • Data is delivered to the external systems, such as EuroGOOS and EMODNet Physics on routine basis • Among them present clients are – WIS (emerging need ocean data in meteo community), ODIP (Prototype 1), GEO/GEOSS. Notice: It should be noted that the level of service depends on the information content in the ODP and during the reporting period it was not possible to solve the organizational issues of attracting data providers (ODIN, NODC, etc.) to the required scale (this activity was carried out by the IODE SG-ODP). SeaDataNet has similar requirements, which are provided through contracts with the EU. Review of the Ocean Data Portal (ODP) Partnership Centre (10-13 September, Obninsk, Russian Federation)

  14. 3. Quality of services and products As a result of the activities of the Partnership Centre, ODP software and documentation have been developed and maintained as a modern integration platform for ocean data share and exchange. In the context of users, the results of the work of the Partnership Centre allowed: • integrate over 700 heterogeneous and distributed sets of oceanographic data in 2 ODIN-regions - ODINAfricaand ODINWESTPAC; • to cooperate with SeaDataNet, WIS and EuroGOOS, access to the data and services of these systems directly from the IODE; contribute such projects as ODIP (ODIP-I, ODIP-II) • to provide access to the above-mentioned oceanographic observational data and products from consumers of ocean information (at least 2700 unique visitors per year to the IODE ODP with average duration of the session 4.5 minutes); • strengthen IODE training programs in data management. The Partnership Centre fulfilled the requirements of the Memorandum. Review of the Ocean Data Portal (ODP) Partnership Centre (10-13 September, Obninsk, Russian Federation)
