Summary of Workshop ResultsSummary of Workshop Results
• Data quality discussion produced Data quality discussion produced required and recommended criteria required and recommended criteria tests and agreement on flagstests and agreement on flags
• Metadata discussion produced required Metadata discussion produced required and recommended elements listand recommended elements list
• Transport discussions produced Transport discussions produced agreement to develop a “light” SOAP agreement to develop a “light” SOAP XML schema (working group in XML schema (working group in progress on this task) progress on this task)

• Share results with broad IOOS Share results with broad IOOS communitycommunity
• ““Submit” to DMAC – push DMAC to Submit” to DMAC – push DMAC to develop a plan for comment, feedback, develop a plan for comment, feedback, distribution, recommendation, etc…distribution, recommendation, etc…
