General chart of ESIMO operation

• Monitoring of SDDB resources and data sources
  in ESIMO Centers
• Access to local data
• Unification of codes and data structures
• Navigation of requests and delivery of data to
  the portal and workstations

ESIMO Portal

• Maintenance of resources directory
• Maintenance of user directory
• Development of user workstations
• Interaction with distributed DB
• Search and delivery of information on request and
  on schedule
• ESIMO statistics, etc.

Server of integration
Internet
Data Provider

• ESIMO Centers install Data Provider software,
  connect local data systems and register resources
• Information on data comes to the resources
  directory on a regular basis
• The system checks availability of data sources
  on a regular basis

Information services provided by ESIMO tools and
resources
Access to ready-to-use tools and resources
information, metadata, applications Delivery
of information through the push technology
information on inputs to resources, news,
operational information, etc. Access through the
request-response technology - quick search by
key words and phrases and by subject heading list
- extended search by several
attributes Services provided on the basis of
specialized workstations Federal level
(Roshydromet, ?in. of Transport, MES, MNR,
Directorate for Navigation and Oceanography,
RAS) Regional level (Arctic, Caspian Sea,
Northwestern Federal District slices of
information space by geographical regions Local
level (North marine shipping, Navy ???)

Conclusion
The ESIMO are including 23 centres, more 1450
information resources, 15 system technologies, 87
thematic technologies, 198 software components,
163 DB, 10 users workstations
A users may receive the complex information in
any time, any place, any region from different
agency systems by ESIMO Portal Developed
workstations Marine situational Centre
Roshydromet, National Centre of management in
crisis situations, Regional centres of
Hydrometeorological Service For wide using of
ESIMO it need - To develop the new methods and
forms of users access to information resources -
To regulate the questions of interagency
information interaction for using ESIMO - To
including the data from ESIMO to process to
information service of marine activities On the
exploitations of ESIMO impact the next
problems - Complication of ESIMO software it
need the more high automation level of ESIMO
management. Now it is using Tivoli monitoring
system IBM - The very big internet traffic. For
decision of this problem the mirror ESIMO
portals are developing in The main computer
centre Roshydromet (Moscow). It need the using of
gigabit channels between ESIMO centres, ESIMO
Portal and users.
