Ocean Data Interoperability Platform
EU-US-Australia collaborative project
Grant Number: 312492
Call: FP7-INFRASTRUCTURES-2012-1-INFSOActivity: INFRA-2012-3.2: International co-operation with the USA
on common e-infrastructure for scientific data
Start date: 1 October 2012 Duration: 36 months
By Dick M.A. Schaap – MARIS (NL), technical coordinator -
Funded in parallel by European Commission, National Science Foundation (NSF) and Australian Government
E-infrastructuresA number of regional initiatives
have made significant progress in addressing discovery, access, and long term stewardship of ocean and marine data on a regional basis
ODIP is a community lead initiative to overcome barriers by exploring common standards and interoperability solutions for improving exchange between regional infrastructures and towards global infrastructures such as GEOSS, IODE – ODP, POGO, ..

ODIP: Objectives To establish an EU/USA/Australia/IOC-IODE
co-ordination platform to facilitate the interoperability of ocean and marine data management infrastructures
To demonstrate this co-ordination through the development of several joint prototype projects that allow effective sharing of marine and ocean data
To develop these prototype projects by largely leveraging on existing and ongoing regional projects and initiatives
To promote and disseminate ODIP approach and results widely for further uptake and feedback
Progress to date……….1st ODIP workshop: Ostende, Belgium (February 2013)
Addressed 6 discussion topicsFormulated into an extensive list of actionsResulted into definition of 3 prototype projects
2nd ODIP workshop: San Diego, USA (December 2013)Addressed implementation plans for the 3 prototype projects
and 2 additional topics (vocabularies and data publishing – citation (incl DOI)
3rd ODIP workshop: Townsville, Australia (August 2014) Addressed progress of 3 prototype projects and actions for
vocabularies, data publishing – citation and person identifiers
ODIP 1 prototype:
Establishing interoperability between the SeaDataNet, IMOS and US NODC data discovery and access services using the GEO-DAB brokerage service and towards interacting with interacting with the IODE-ODP and GEOSS portals
Lead by European partners via SeaDataNet
Exchange from SeaDataNet to ODP and GEOSS is now operational at metadata level; IMOS and US NODC will follow soon
October 2014: 103 data centres connected and 4 data Centres in test for moving into operation soon => 107 data Centres from 34 countries;
pan-European infrastructure
ODIP 1 prototype:
Aggregation of SeaDataNet metadata CDI granules to CDI collections (ISO 19115 – 19139), conversion to Common Brokerage Model, and harvesting via CS-W and OAI-PMH services
ODIP 1 prototype:
ODIP 2 proposal submitted to add data brokerage, and semantic interoperability
ODIP 2 prototype:
ODIP 2: Establishing interoperability between cruise summary reporting systems in Europe, the USA and Australia and also towards global POGO portal
Lead by Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) partners (USA)
SeaDataNet Cruise Summary Report (CSR) adopted with ISO19115 – 19139 Schema and supporting Common Vocabularies
ODIP 2 prototype approach:Publish ISO Cruise Summary Reports at regional nodes:
Marine National Facility (Australia)
SeaDataNet (Europe)
R2R (USA)
Deploy GeoNetwork catalogues at regional nodes providing both a GUI (web portal) and API (CSW service)
Harvest GeoNetwork nodes into POGO global catalogue
ODIP 2 prototype progress:GeoNetWork software has been adapted by SeaDataNet
for handling SeaDataNet CSR and supporting common vocabularies
R2R (USA) has deployed the SDN GeoNetWork tool and makes great progress with the GUI and mapping of vocabularies for R2R US cruises and also for populating EDMO directory ( >150 US organisations added)
MNF (Australia) has also deployed GeoNetWork and started with populating EDMO directory and mapping vocabularies
ODIP 2 prototype new developments:CSR Schema extension with new vocabulary for specific
instruments
Embed in CSRs Linked Data URIs
Make CSRs available as RDF for semantic web applications
Interoperate with NSF EarthCube and NOAA Data Centers
Establish Cruise-ID governance because of potential overlap in case of international cruises
ODIP 3 prototype:Establishment of a prototype for a Sensor Observation
Service (SOS) and SensorML and O&M profiles for selected sensors installed on research vessels and in real-time monitoring systems (Sensor Web Enablement (SWE))
Lead by AODN (Australia)
Bundling of multiple regional initiatives and best practices towards the adoption of SWE to formulate and evaluate common standards, incl involvement of 52 North
ODIP 3 prototype approach:
establish a collaboration tool (Github):
compile inventory of SOS services and their endpoints
compile inventory of instrument SensorML records & O&M structures
compile inventory of vocab and registry services
working groups to assess SOS performance
propose templates for SensorML/StarFl and O&M profiles
examine vocabulary services and potential mappings
Set-up a test bed
ODIP 3 prototype progress:collaboration at https://github.com/aodn/ODIP
inventory includes: Ritmare starter kit (IT), SOS Coriolis – EuroARGO (FR), Oceanotron interaction (FR), Eurofleets SWE version 2.0 (ES), ncSOS for gliders (UK), IOOS SOS (USA), IMOS (Australia), 2 SOS installations (Australia), SMG and sensorCloud (Australia)
Analysis: => must adopt SWE Version 2.0 to stay aligned
52 North SOS still on V1.0 but will upgrade
SensorML profiles EU and Australia quite similar in approach
Testbed is being deployed for further testing of different SOS services
Dialogue with manufacturers planned
