OOS TECH 2005 is the latest workshop in an ongoing series, engaging the broad marine data management community in IT issues for the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS). The workshop will provide opportunities to work with data experts from observing systems around the U.S., discuss IOOS IT needs, and share strategies and identify issues to advance the national effort and the "open-source" attitude. The workshop will involve the community to promote the best available tools and practices, identify gaps in required technologies and applications, and maximize opportunities for sharing technologies and solutions.

Web Services for Interoperable Ocean Science

As the IOOS data sharing architecture evolves, Web Services are emerging as a leading technology among those available for serving operational oceanographic data. With the IOOS Data Management and Communications (DMAC) plan and community interest pointing to the Web Services model for data sharing, OOS Tech 05 will focus on Web Services as a key component of ocean data systems. The workshop will combine speakers, discussion panels, and training opportunities in plenary and breakout sessions. The workshop will quickly entrain those new to the topic, and experienced web service developers can guide future developments by providing their perspectives on what works, and what needs work, for successfully integrating our ocean observing systems.
