1. Work-Package 5: MAMA-NET Hellenic Centre for Marine Research – HCMR (former NCMR and IMBC)
Objective
to establish the basis of a prototype system for exchange of Operational Oceanography data and information products between Mediterranean partners (MAMA-Net)
MAMA Final meeting, Tunis March 2005

2. WP5 goals and progress
assess the current networking capabilities of the MAMA project partners and define the networking requirements of the information system. The respective work was carried during the 1st year of the project and the deliverable was completed in time during the 2nd year
define the standards that will be used for data exchange; the respective work was successfully carried out and completed during the 2nd year of the project.
implement elements of the pilot network and publish information products of operational oceanography in the Mediterranean Sea. The respective work was initiated during the 2nd year with the development of the MAMA-Net portal and was completed during the last semester (month 32) with enrichment of the network with new information products.
the Marine Data and Information Management workshop which was part of WP5 has been organized during month 25 of the project.

5.1.1 Networking. Requirements and Standards
5.1.2 Data / metadata exchange standards. Implement pilot network.
5.1.3 Development of WWW interface
Task 5.2 Workshop on MDIM (Marine Data and Information Management) in the Mediterranean

MAMA Final meeting, Tunis March 2005

4. Task 5.1.1: Networking basis of NET- MedGOOS
Data providers can support the data flow along MAMA-Net, since in almost all cases (9 out of 12) the Internet connection line speeds are over 1Mbit/sec. Even for providers that use lower speeds, there is no problems for the operation of MAMA-Net either because the amount of data is small or because the update frequency is low
Completed during the 1st year.
Deliverable D8 available through project’s Web page:

5. Task 5.1.2: Data/information management capabilities and access
definition of information products to be exchanged through MAMA-Net, including standard protocols and formats to be used This goal has been achieved during the 2nd year of the project.
HCMR compiled the final list of products and
IFREMER reviewed the commonly used formats and quality control procedures for oceanographic data.
publication of information products on MAMA-Net by project partners This work was initiated during the 2nd year of the project and was completed by month 32. Efforts will be made to maintain the operation of the network beyond the end of the project
