81. “There are emergent technologies throughout
the
fields around oceanography which we will
incorporate into oceanography, and through
that convergence we will make oceanography
into something even more magical”

1. Why? 2. What? 3. How? 4. Networks 5.
Future
Questions to start
- Why do we need to bother with data management in the marine sciences?
- What do we need to consider for good data management practices?
- How do we manage data at the Marine Institute?
Break / exercise
- National, European, Global infrastructures
- Future / emerging ideas
Time for questions
ICES Platform Codes link into global databases
We need to know format, location etc… as well as all the scientific parameters discussed earlier

QC Issues
What do we do?
Some auto QC of data – WMO
Some by hand
Never delete – always provide a second channel for flagging
Vessels, Argo via satellite communications
Samples databases by hand
Models by jobs
Complexity of the database might change but the principles are all the same…
