The Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) and the Ocean Tracking Network (OTN) both collect, manage and use highly complex information assets, that is ‘Big data’ on a global scale … Background

Objectives Animal acoustic telemetry data and associated products implemented using a content standard so they can be shared between projects nationally and internationally. Based on input from POST, OTN, GLATOS, Hydra, and AATAMS, with feedback from individual researchers and operators including TOPP and Kintama Research. Using and combining existing technical IOOS and OTN technical infrastructures.

North East Pacific Ocean Here we describe efforts currently focused on the North East Pacific Ocean whereby data scientists from these two communities are currently attempting to develop and demonstrate data services that could eventually enable animal acoustic telemetry detections to be routinely integrated with environmental data observations and models.

Closing Remarks Backwards …. Defining the specifications was hardest part. Creating and refining a specific data feed (i.e. OTN) was relatively easy. The demonstration services have been implemented and appear useful. Forwards … Develop work plan for further OTN and IOOS collaboration to fully operationalize the system. Expand user base … – Provide OTN data to AATAMS, Hydra, ACT and TOPP – AATAMS, Hydra, ACT and TOPP provide data to OTN Start blog for R & python development
