WP2 -Standardization and Interoperability

1. WP2 -Standardization and Interoperability Christoph Waldmann MARUM, Bremen waldmann@marum.de Participants: UniAbdn, IFREMER, INFN, UPC, dBScale, SEND OFFSHORE Kiel University All Regions Workshop, Paris, Oct 5-7,09

2. OUTLINE • Rationale for Standardization • Scope of the workpackage on standardization • Implementation of tasks

3. RATIONALE • Why Standardization? • It is essential for • System building • Sharing infrastructures and platforms • Integrating different systems • Enabling the transition from experimental to operational phase • Concerns • Will it constraint the versatility/flexibility? • Will the integration be easier or more complex?

4. BACKGROUND Differences Operational versus Research (Parisot, OceanObs09)

5. RATIONALE • Visions • Instruments can be freely interchanged between observatories worldwide • Instruments are calibrated according to agreed upon standard procedures • Data quality can be checked and specified • Data are described with a standard format and vocabulary • Deployment, maintenance and service can be carried out by different groups

6. BACKGROUND • Visions have to be broken down into tasks • How efficient does it have to be? • How broad is the range of applicability? • What is the present capability?

7. BACKGROUND CONSTRAINTS The existing systems are an eclectic mix of what individuals and groups have brought to the table. Unlikely to change. As technology constantly changes, operators of observatory systems must be prepared to re-evaluate constantly Wunsch OceanObs09

8. BACKGROUND Addressing different Levels and domains Data interoperability Data quality Standardization Service/Maintenance Intervention

9. Workpackage 2- Tasks Sensors and Scientific packages Quality assurance / quality control Underwater intervention Sharing testing facilities Contribution to GEOSS standardization and implementation activities Organization of the second Best Practices Workshop Organization of equipment tests on cabled sites

10. IMPLEMENTATION Forming task teams on standards Review and test existing standards Set up links to international initiatives Active involvement in GEOSS activities

15. QUALITY PLAN Come up with a framework document for all standard related documentation 1. Subcontractor/Manufacturer Equipment 2. Design and Technology Reviews 3. Reliability Engineering 4. High Level Test Plan 5. Risk Analysis 6. Documentation Control 7. Data flagging model

16. UNDERWATER INTERVENTION • Review of common or shared procedures • Review offshore standard evaluation and define a recommendation for marine science observatory intervention • Design recommendations for training, simulation and testing • Underwater intervention on scientific permanent observatories – Draft document in progress • Standards and recommended practices for underwater intervention and structures interfaces in the Offshore industry

17. SHARING TESTING FACILITIES • To organise the sharing of sea going equipments and testing facilities • To launch common practices • To set up a data base of land based testing facilities and promote the shared use of them • To promote the constitution of teams on specific subjects for sharing technical and methodological expertise in view of developing common practices

18. Contribution to GEOSS standardisation and implementationactivities • Registries • Services • Standards • Best Practices • Requirements WebPortal Clearinghouse GEOSS Common Infrastructure

19. Contribution to GEOSS standardisation and implementationactivities • Contributing with data and concepts • Use of GEO progress in regard to standardization and interoperability aspects • Participation in GEOSS workshops and contribution to working groups created by GEOSS supporting organizations • Dissemination of GEOSS concepts within ESONET and other workshops

21. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES Session on EGU General Assembly, April 2010 Towards establishing permanent infrastructures for ocean observations: instrumentation, measurement strategies and methods for ocean observatories Convener: C. Waldmann, MARUM Co-Conveners: I. Puillat-Felix, IFREMER L. Beranzoli, INGV R. Stephen, WHOI

22. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES MARTECH Workshop Nov 09, Barcelona Demonstration of smart sensor concepts

23. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES GEOSS Workshop XXVII Understanding the Integrated Ocean Observation Systems, including Sub-surface Sensors

24. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES GEOSS Workshop XXVII - Conclusions • GEO should help with the formulation of an ocean community of practice • GEO should support intergovernmental formalization of interoperability and coordination of an operational mission for ocean observations. This could include coordinated funding • GEO support is requested for Identification and coordination of societal benefits from ocean data.

25. 2nd BEST PRACTICES WORKSHOP Main Workshop Themes • Generic Instrumentation Biochemical and acoustic sensors • Infrastructure Stand- alone and cabled observatories • Standardisation and Interoperability Data processing, smart sensors, and underwater intervention

26. Organization of equipment tests on cabled sites with training activities Tests of observatory equipments will be organised to teach and demonstrate the use of equipments dedicated to long term immersion for real time measurements to demonstrate the procedures of measurements, underwater interventions etc Equipment tests on cabled sites

27. Establish an international standard implementation committee for ocean observatories? Food for thoughts
