Doing Science: The Way It<br />
Has Been Done<br />
Hey Francisco, you still running that mo<strong>or</strong>ing in Monterey<br />
Yeah, John, what do you need<br />
Is it collecting current data<br />
Yeah, you looking f<strong>or</strong> profiles<br />
Yup, are you doing that with an ADCP<br />
Yes, we’ll probably start profiling soon, too.<br />
No, don’t need that. How do I get the data<br />
You want the raw data <strong>or</strong> QCd Real-time.<br />
Oh, the QC’d, delayed mode data, definitely, last 3 years w<strong>or</strong>th.<br />
That’d d be off our dods site, here’s s the address..<br />

What Will It Take<br />
What will it take f<strong>or</strong> a<br />
science researcher to<br />
access all the data from<br />
MBARI, NDBC, and ORION,<br />
assess the data that is<br />
useful f<strong>or</strong> his <strong>or</strong> her project,<br />
bring it into an analysis<br />
program, and produce the<br />
first visualization all in a<br />
single day, and still have<br />
time to call one of the data<br />
producers and ask about the<br />
details of the latest quality<br />
control process<br />
(from ORION Cyberinfrastructure Concept of Operations)
What It Will Take<br />
Communities Creating<br />
<strong>Marine</strong> Data and<br />
<strong>Metadata</strong> <strong>Interoperability</strong><br />
What’s needed f<strong>or</strong> marine<br />
metadata interoperability<br />
Several areas of community agreement.<br />
• The way to transfer the metadata:<br />
Transp<strong>or</strong>t Protocol<br />
• What data to transfer:<br />

• Few f<strong>or</strong>mal marine<br />
vocabularies existed<br />
• There was no<br />
agreed f<strong>or</strong>mat <strong>or</strong> location<br />
• Most weren’t comprehensive <strong>or</strong> detailed<br />
• There was no way to connect them<br />
