| Marine Metadata Interoperability
http://marinemetadata.org/ |
Marine scientists face an opportunity and a challenge in the
volume of data available from various ocean observing
systems. The MMI Project can help make it easier for you to
find, access, and use other data sets. If you create marine
science data sets, MMI can help make your data easier to
advertise, distribute, reuse, and combine with other data
sets. Our goal is to promote collaborative research in the
marine science domain, by simplifying the incredibly complex
world of metadata into specific, straightforward guidance.
MMI hopes to encourage scientists and data managers at all
levels to apply good metadata practices from the start of a
project, by providing the best advice and resources for data
management. MMI maintains this website to foster
communication and collaboration among its hundreds of members,
and provides forums for discussion of diverse topics related
to marine data management. MMI is also developing web
applications and stand-alone tools to enable sophisticated
interactions across marine data systems.
