Decision IODE-XXV.5.2.3
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE INTER-SESSIONAL WORKING GROUP TO DEVELOP THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN AND COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS FOR THE IOC OCEAN DATA AND INFORMATION SYSTEM
The IOC Committee on International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange,
Recalling Decision IODE-XXIV.4 on the Ocean Data and Information System which established the “Inter-sessional working group to develop a concept paper for the Ocean Data and Information System” (IWG-ODIS),
Noting the need for IODE and external collaborators to work together to effectively address the challenges of developing a universal view of the marine data and information landscape,
Taking into account, and building upon, the work carried out by the IWG-ODIS, the JCOMM/IODE ETDMP and the IODE Ocean Data Portal,
Recognizing there is a major component of the ocean data and information system landscape not linked to the IOC and there is a need to collaborate with those communities/systems in order to achieve improved accessibility, unrestricted use and interoperability of data and information
Decides that IODE will work with existing stakeholders, linked and not linked to the IOC, to improve the accessibility and interoperability of existing data and information, and to contribute to the development of a global ocean data and information system, to be referred to as the IOC Ocean Data and Information System, leveraging established solutions where possible,
Decides further to establish an inter-sessional working group to develop the implementation plan and cost-benefit analysis for the IOC Ocean Data and Information System, with the Terms of Reference attached in Annex A to this Decision.
