IntroductionScience is becoming increasingly
collaborativeIncreasing demands for dataIncreasing ability to collect and generate
dataIncreasing expectations of researchers (e.g.
must think globally, providing access to data an emerging requirement for publication)
Citing research accomplishments is an increasingly on-line activity
3
The ChallengesWhere to look for data (portals)How to find data (metadata)How to access data (infrastructure)How to integrate data (interoperability)How to contribute when resources are
limited
4
The SolutionMix of standards, technology, people, and
educationBenefits are worth the investment, both to
the data provider and the data user
5
IODE The International Oceanographic Data and
Information Exchange (IODE) was established by in 1961
Strives to enhance marine research, exploitation, and development through exchange of data and information between member states
Supports a variety of programs including standards development, technology, data access, capacity building (education)
Adheres to the IOC data policy – Free and open access to data and information
6
Ocean Data Portal Formally established in 2007 as a program under the
IODE and supported by the Russian Federation Seeks to provide open and and seamless access to
marine data collections in an enabling and globally distributed environment
Facilitates discovery, evaluation, and access to data Provides benefits to both data providers and data
users Focuses on standards, technology, people, and
capacity planning – Not simply an IT system

Regional View: Accessing the SNDM – Argentina ODP region portal provides a view of data and information made accessible though the MinCyT ODP node.
Global View:Accessing the ODP Global portal provides access to data from all ODP nodes.
Interoperability Arrangement:The ODP Global node and portal include data from peer data systems through special interoperability arrangements

Benefits for Data Providers Scalable environment to support the capacity of
the data provider’s environment Promotes defacto standards Engaged with other IODE data systems Supported technology for data discovery,
evaluation, and access Improved visibility of data and geospatial web
services Improved interoperability with other major
marine data systems
9
Benefits for Data Users
One-stop shop for data and web servicesIncreased visibility for one’s research dataIncreased visibility of the researcher within
the marine domain (Ocean Experts)
10
StandardsODP adopts international standards where possible:Metadata Content (for discovery): ISO 19115 and Dublin CoreMetadata Interchange: ISO 19139 XMLData Content: Tabular (e.g. CSV), GIS-friendly (e.g. Shapefile, Raster)Interoperability: OGC services (e.g. Catalogue, Web Map, and Feature Services)Data Access: OGC and Data Download Services
11
Technology The ODP provides two primary implementation
options:• Light Data Provider
– Hosted on ODP Global or Regional infrastructure– Zero client install– Simplest path to contribute data
• Full Node Implementation (pre-configured Virtual Machines):
– Modular design– Customizable client install – only enable the required services– Advanced path to provide data, portal, GIS services
ODP actively develops specialized interoperability connections with other major data systems (e.g. WMO Information System)
12
People The ODP Partnership Centre was formally
established in Sept. 2013 and is based in Obninsk, Russia
4 dedicated and 4 part-time personnel investment by the Russian Federation - a significant in-kind contribution to the IODE
Provides:ODP development and technical supportHosting global infrastructure and light data
providersTraining and capacity building
13
Capacity Building
ODP supports capacity building through:On-site and on-line training sessions (in
partnership with OceanTeacher Academy and its facilities)
Training for node and data provider implementers
Expert training to foster ‘Train the Trainer’ within regions or domains of experts
Collaboration with others through IODE OceanExpert and other social networking tools
14
PartnersMember states of the IODEMajor national, regional, and global marine
data systemsOther programs that may benefit from the
work of the IODE and ODP
15
The origin of the Ocean Data PortalUnified State System of Information on the
World Ocean – ESIMO (Russia)Officially started in 1998Data network launched in 2003 Received federal status in 2005 System will be concluded in this year35 organizations around the country, 12 Ministries and agencies including Russian Academy of Science

How to Get InvolvedVisit and use the ODP web site and portalEstablish a light data provider
implementationEstablish or participate in an existing ODP
node (e.g. SNDM Argentina)Contribute data to a partner IODE supported
system (e.g. OBIS)Contribute to a non-IODE partner system
