ESRI Ocean Data Model Working Group, Oct. 4-5, 2001 Dawn Wright Oregon State U. Additional Ideas for the ArcGIS Ocean Data Model

Important Distinction? Single Integrated Ocean Data Model or Theme-Based Sub-Models Deep ocean data for science and management Variation on ArcGIS conservation/ biodiversity model for coasts/oceans –Pat and Eric

Deep Ocean Data for Science coordinated collection of scientific data –geological, chemical, biological, and physical high level analyses of the processes and process interactions

Best studied fast-spreading ridge segment Wealth of data, results, models under-utilized...formats, standards, tools incomplete/incompatible

physical structure of axial magma chambers (seismologists) hydrothermal activity/convection (geologists & geochemists)

Data Layers Marine Boundaries Bathymetry Other U/W Geophysical – time, position, sidescan, magnetics, gravity, seismics Derived grids Standard supporting data –sea state, XBT, CTD, sea surface temperature and salinity, and derived SVP, as well as calibration data for each sensor Images Locations of observations –Submersible,ROV –Tracklines/Nav points

Scientific Information Model Entity-attribute-relationship diagrams formal description of the scientific information requirements objects, places, concepts, or events, as well as their interrelationships – pertinent to the real-world scenario of data flow and data analysis

SIM cont. Data acquisition and software will change –e.g., new vehicles, new satellites, etc. Mgmt. of information that comes out of the acquisition systems, rather than the acquisition systems themselves ID inherent structure of oceanographic facts and hypotheses, rather than the structure of the sensor data record.
