Definition
- PURPOSE The purpose of the Gulf of Maine Ocean Data Partnership ( http://www.gomodp.org/ ) is to promote and coordinate the sharing, linking, electronic dissemination, and use of data on the Gulf of Maine region. The participants have decided that a coordinated effort is needed to enable users throughout the Gulf of Maine region and beyond to discover and put to use the vast and growing quantities of data in their respective databases. Through the coordinated access to the respective databases, the participants wish to advance a truly integrated ocean observing system in the Gulf of Maine, promote an understanding of the diversity and distribution of life in the Gulf of Maine, and contribute to integrated oceans management. The founding members of the Partnership include governmental agencies, intergovernmental organizations, and nongovernmental organizations, including academic, research, and other nonprofit entities. Each of the participant is engaged in the collection of physical, biological, chemical, or geologic data on the Gulf of Maine. GOALS The goal of this Partnership is to implement an information system that: 1. is technically and institutionally capable of linking databases that are created and individually maintained by Participants and, where necessary and appropriate, to archive data sets; 2. is region-wide in scale; 3. is compatible with other regional, national, and international information systems; 4. is accessible by individuals throughout the Gulf of Maine region and beyond; 5. develops the web-based, visualization, and other information technologies needed for the seamless exchange and facile use of distributed and aggregated data; and 6. acknowledges and maintains the integrity of all data sources.
