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.

拟议的项目是PIS ITR提案“合作研究：海洋元数据互操作性项目”的延续，该提案是通过在海洋科学界就海洋元数据“最佳实践”达成更广泛的协议来提高海洋观测数据的易用性的第一步。这项工作的成果包括创建和维护一个面向社区、协作开发的海洋学元数据中心网站。其他任务包括参考文献、本体论、标准和元数据手册开发、元数据互操作性演示和研讨会。当前的提案建立在计算机科学、地球科学和生物医学领域的先前工作和最新进展的基础上，并为海洋科学界的元数据开发和应用提供指导。这项工作将支持 NSF 设计和实施 ORION 等可互操作观测系统的优先事项，以及美国 IOOS DMAC 计划中的元数据优先事项。这项工作将创建基础设施，以直接支持这些主要系统的成功建设和运营，以及许多其他较小系统的互操作性。这将直接使海洋数据系统的开发人员和用户（包括国际用户）受益。PI 将通过持续开发 MMI 网站以及研讨会、电子邮件列表服务器、演示文稿和同行评审出版物来参与社区活动并为其提供信息。正如所附信件所证明的那样，他们将建立在现有的广泛支持基础上，并为解决海洋科学中的主要元数据挑战提供社区支持的领导力。 更广泛的影响 MMI 活动是总体战略的关键组成部分，旨在为海洋数据的潜在用户提供查找和利用他们所需数据的能力。对于 NSF，MMI 致力于提供发现和更充分利用 NSF 支持的海洋观测的能力。这项拟议工作的目的不是开发提高我们获取、理解和使用海洋数据的能力所需的物理基础设施，拟议的工具（面向计划的和基于网络的）、文档以及外展和培训活动将有助于加强科学和技术理解。 MMI 等计划可能会推动海洋、沿海和河口观测领域的一体化，尽管这需要两年的持续资助。
