ODAS Metadata Management Scheme

The work is under the leadership and direction of the Chairman of JCOMM. In the direct organization and coordination by Subgroup on Data Management, a national data center should be identified to undertake the establishment of ODAS metadata management center (After discussion, It was decided by the DMCG-I meeting to identify the National Marine Data and Information Service (NMDIS), Tianjin, China to undertake the task.). At the same time, all the JCOMM members and Member States should support and assist the collection of ODAS metadata information sources, feedback comments and suggestions in time and supervise the management and service of the center. The center will promote its work to ensure its operational running.

The metadata management system of the ODAS center will be managed and provide services by the both integrated and distributed ways. Especially in the early stage of center construction, because it is difficult for the center to collect all kinds of metadata information to conduct the integrated management and service, the current metadata information management and service systems should at first begot known so as to provide the navigation service for the users. At the same time, the investigation and study, collection and processing of metadata information will be conducted globally in accordance with the ODAS metadata format, so as to gradually realize the integrated management and service of metadata information.
