The project proposed is a continuation of the PIs ITR proposal titled "Collaborative Research: Marine Metadata Interoperability Project", proposed as a first step in an effort to improve the ease of use of data from ocean observations by developing broader agreement within the ocean science community on "best practices" for marine metadata. The results of this effort included creation and maintenance of a central, community-oriented, collaboratively developed web site for oceanographic metadata. Addition tasks included references, ontology, standards, and Metadata Cookbook development, Metadata Interoperability demonstrations, and workshop.The current proposal builds on the previous work and recent advances in computer sciences, geosciences, and the biomedical field, and provide guidance on metadata development and application in the ocean science community. The work will support the NSF priority of designing and implementing interoperable observing systems such as ORION, as well as the metadata priorities in the U.S. IOOS DMAC plan. The work will create infrastructure to directly support the successful construction and operation of these major systems, as well as interoperability of many other smaller systems. This will directly benefit the developers and users of marine data systems, including international users.The PI's will engage and inform the community through the continued development of the MMI website, as well as through workshops, email list servers, presentations, and peer reviewed publications. They will build on an existing wide base of support, as evidenced by the attached letters, and provide community-backed leadership toward solving the major metadata challenges in oceanographic science.Broader ImpactsThe MMI activities are a critical component of an overall strategy to provide potential users of marine data the capability to find and utilize the data they require. To NSF, MMI contributes towards providing the ability to find and more fully exploit ocean observations supported through NSF. The purpose of this proposed effort is not to develop the physical infrastructure needed to improve our ability to access, understand and use marine data, the proposed tools (both program oriented and Web-based), documentation, and outreach and training activities will provide for the enhancement of scientific and technological understanding. A program such as the MMI could potentially be an impetus towards facilitating integration across ocean, coastal and estuarine observing domains, although this will take continued funding past two year.

该项目提出的是PIS ITR提案的延续，标题为“合作研究：海洋元数据互操作性项目”，该项目是为了提高海洋科学社区内在海洋科学社区中建立更广泛的一致性在“最佳实践”的海洋元数据中提高海洋观察数据的易用性的第一步。这项工作的结果包括创建和维护一个面向社区的中央，共同开发的海洋元数据网站。附加任务包括参考，本体论，标准和元数据食谱开发，元数据互操作性示范和研讨会。当前的提案以先前的工作以及计算机科学，地球科学和生物医学领域的最新进展为基础，并在海洋科学社区中提供了元数据开发和应用的指导。这项工作将支持NSF设计和实施可互操作观察系统（例如Orion）以及美国IOOS DMAC计划的元数据优先事项的优先级。这项工作将创建基础架构，以直接支持这些主要系统的成功构建和运行，以及许多其他较小系统的互操作性。这将直接使包括国际用户在内的海洋数据系统的开发商和用户受益。PI将通过继续开发MMI网站以及通过研讨会，电子邮件列表服务器，演示文稿和同行评审出版物来吸引和告知社区。它们将建立在现有的支持基础的基础上，如所附的字母所证明，并为解决海洋学科学领域的主要元数据挑战提供了社区支持的领导。BRODER影响MMI活动是MMI活动是为潜在策略提供潜在策略的关键组成部分。对于NSF而言，MMI有助于提供通过NSF支持的发现能力并更充分利用海洋观察。这项提出的努力的目的不是开发提高我们访问，理解和使用海洋数据的能力所需的物理基础设施，所提出的工具（以程序为导向和基于网络的工具），文档以及外展和培训活动将提供增强科学和技术理解的能力。像MMI这样的计划有可能成为促进促进海洋，沿海和河口观察域的整合的动力，尽管这将在过去两年中继续资金。
