Description:
The objective of ODSBP is to achieve broad agreement and commitment to adopt a number of standards and best practices related to ocean data management and exchange. The project is a continuation of the Ocean Data Standards Prilot Project (ODS), established and implemented jointly between JCOMM and IODE. The activities of the Project will include: (1) develop and manage a process for the reception, reviewing and recommending of standards and best practices, based upon the process developed by the Ocean Data Standards Pilot Project; (2) actively liaise with all relevant communities, programmes and projects such as Ocean Data Portal, ETDMP Metadata Task Team, SeaDataNet Technical Task Team, GE-BICH, GE-MIM, SG-OBIS, GTSPP, ICSU WDS, GEO/GEOSS, ICES; (3) promote and monitor the usage of recommended standards and practices in the relevant communities, including those mentioned under (ii); (4) regularly review and revise recommended standards and best practices based upon feedback from the relevant communities, including those mentioned under (ii); (5) maintain an online catalogue of best practices, enabling easy discovery and downloading of these documents by users (e.g. JCOMM Catalogue of practices and standards).
