Part II. Phased Implementation Plan for DMAC- Task 3: Operationalº Category: Ongoing operations• Deliverables:• Estimated Resources:• Schedule: Year 2, activity will continue• Sequencing:• Partnerships:7. Activity: Implement Middleware Security (Cross-discipline effort with allDMAC)• Description: Implement Security tools, procedures and practices to protect all participatingsystems from inappropriate access, intentional or accidental. Data providers must be able to configurecompute and network resource limits. Selected data streams may have restricted access.• Milestone 1: Create middleware Security Plan- Task 1: Determine Data Transport Security needs with DMACº Category: Committee work• Milestone 2: Develop and deploy middleware Security Planº Category: Contract• Deliverables: Middleware Security Plan• Estimated Resources:• Schedule: Year 3• Sequencing:• Partnerships: Archive team, Metadata and Discovery team8. Activity: Provide guaranteed geo-temporal-referenced browse for allIOOS data• Description: Ensure that all IOOS data are viewable through common web browsers (e.g.,Netscape®, Internet Explorer®) in the form of intelligible “working graphics” on demand andhuman-readable numeric tables, and that they may be subsetted and downloaded in a range ofcommon file formats. This will provide a necessary overview tool for IOOS scientists and a commonentry point for all users who wish to explore IOOS.• Milestone 1: Guaranteed minimum geo-temporally referenced graphics and numeric listingsfor viewing, and formatted file subsets for downloading.- Fast-track note: An implementation of a guaranteed minimal uniform DMAC data visualization(graphics) and access mechanism is vital to the integration of IOOS. It is fundamentalto the ability to make quick evaluations of the effectiveness of all aspects of the DMACand the quality of the data. If a suitable candidate is available, it will significantly advance theIOOS to implement a fast-track solution to this component. The Plan must include proceduresto evaluate the effectiveness of the solution adopted and either make adjustments to itor abandon it, if it proves unsuitable.92
