The IMDIS 2010 Conference took place at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, France between 29 and 31 March 2010. The Conference was attended by 230 participants from 46 countries. The Conference was organized by IFREMER, jointly wit SeaDataNet and IOC/IODE.
The Conference program was sub-dividided into 4 themes: (i) Data quality issues in ocean science; (ii) Dat circulation and Services in ocean science; (iii) Interoperability and Standards in Marine Data Management; and (iv) Education in ocean science. This was followed by a roundtable discussion on "Future prospective on linking distributed marine data systems".
In his closing address Mr Gilbert Maudire (IFREMER) noted that the Conference had provided a comprehensive overview of the many initiatives ongoing in ocean data management. The Conference had demonstrated the commitment of the community to establish interoperability of the many initiatives to reach a global distributed data system. The interoperability is made possible thanks to technical progress but we also need to adopt and use standards. We have seen convergence in several areas sc. as metadata (ISO 19***), OGC protocols.
Mr Maudire called for a next IMDIS Conference to be held in 2012-2013.
The Proceedings will be published by IOC/IODE around the end of 2010.
