Governance

Least mature component and biggest challenge? Look at National Information Exchange Model per

standards/technical specs

Improve coordination of DMAC-related initiatives

Data Access Services

Promote broader use of metadata standards/protocols

Leverage convergence on a short list of tools/services

Evaluate opportunities per ESRI’s GeoPortal server

Some Preliminary Findings & Recommendations

2. Meeting minutes/summary report (drafts complete)

3. IOOC briefing on findings/recommendations (today)

4. IOOC designate permanent ST Chair (US IOOS recommends C. Alexander)

5. OGC analysis of survey results

6. OOI-CI: questions and conference call

7. NSF’s Earth Cube: review capabilities document

8. Recommend specific execution priorities to IOOC?

9. Potential engagement mapping priorities to IOOS summit?

10. Planning/coordination for 2nd 2012 meetingMarch 1, 2012 – COL, Wash, DC

DMAC Steering Team

What the DMAC ST needs from the IOOC

1. Guidance (criteria?) on how to proceed with next steps suggest ST moves forward on 1-2 specific priorities

suggest ST activates “tiger teams” to frame options and IOOC helps

identify participants

2. Organizational support for broader engagement on DMAC

suggest ST members identify key POCs for IOOC members to contact suggest IOOC members share ST reports, etc. with IT/data management

leadership in their organizations

3. Support for mapping DMAC priorities to upcoming IOOS Summit suggest asking ST for volunteers for an IOOS Summit DMAC team

suggest a ST member begin attending IOOS Summit planning meetings March 1, 2012 – COL, Wash, DC
