Marine Metadata Interoperability - Web Services Marine Metadata Interoperability - Web Services < < MMI MMI / / > > Marine scientists face an opportunity and a challenge in the volume of data available from various ocean observing systems. The MMI Project can help make it easier for you to find, access, and use other data sets. If you create marine science data sets, MMI can help make your data easier to advertise, distribute, reuse, and combine with other data sets. Our goal is to promote collaborative research in the marine science domain, by simplifying the incredibly complex world of metadata into specific, straightforward guidance.

Marine scientists face an opportunity and a challenge in the volume of data available from various ocean observing systems. The MMI Project can help make it easier for you to find, access, and use other data sets. If you create marine science data sets, MMI can help make your data easier to advertise, distribute, reuse, and combine with other data sets. Our goal is to promote collaborative research in the marine science domain, by simplifying the incredibly complex world of metadata into specific, straightforward guidance. MMI hopes to encourage scientists and data managers at all levels to apply good metadata practices from the start of a project, by providing the best advice and resources for data management.

Ontology CreationOntology Creation

MMI is the liaison to bring community experts together to create controlled vocabularies and express them in the

Web Ontology Language (OWL). These allows to clearly define the concepts and their relations, and to make

inferences among them.
