Work-Package 5 MAMA-NET

• Objective
• To initiate a data and information exchange
  system (Net-MedGOOS) that will support
• Exchange of operational data / metadata between
  agencies
• Access to operational products for MAMA partners
• Partners
• NCMR, ENEA, IFREMER, IOLR, ICM, IOC, IMBC
• IMC, IOI-MOC, NIB, DFMR, IMS-METU, CNR-S2AM, IOR,
  ANPA

2
Present Situation

• Adequate experience on archives of historical
  data (IOC-MEDI, MODB, MEDATLAS, MEDAR etc)
• Limited experience on exchange of NRT data sets
  (MFS-PP)
• Limited experience on operational products
• Difficulties to access even the few available
  products

Problems that should be solved

• Lack of common procedures on data / products
  handling
• Formats
• Quality control
• Publication (data / metadata) archiving
• Lack of experience means for data / products
  exploitation
• Network access
• Experience on data retrieval / use
• Software tools
