Objectives
The OceanKnowledge Platform will offer the user a single access point to various linked IODE information and data products such as researcher profiles, publications, data, learning objects, etc. and will furthermore facilitate social networking between specialized research communities.
The strategic goal of the IODE Ocean Knowledge Platform Pilot Project:
(i) Combining multiple inter-linked IODE (and partner) Data and Information knowledge sources and making them discoverable and accessible through a single access point with social networking functionality;
(ii) Linking IODE (and partner) Data and Information Products through semantic web technologies;
(iii) Promoting IODE (and partner) Data and Information Products within the ocean research and observation community.
The duration of the Pilot Project will be 2 years (April 2013-April 2015).
This project has been proposed by the IODE GE-MIM (note that this Group has been replaced by the new IAMSLIC/IODE GE-MIM in April 2013)
The service will be available through the URL: http://www.oceanknowledge.net
Governance
The Project is managed by the IODE Steering Group for the IODE OceanKnowledge Platform Pilot Project. Its membership can be found here.
Establishment
The OceanKnowledge Project was established through Recommendation IODE-XXII.2:
