PURPOSE

The purpose of the Environmental Data Management Committee (EDMC) as stated in the Terms of Reference is:
"to coordinate the development of NOAA's environmental data management strategy, and policy, and provide guidance to promote consistent implementation across NOAA"

This workshop will advance a framework for end-to-end lifecycle environmental data management at NOAA by:

• Getting NOAA's environmental data management community on the same page with respect to the end-to-end environmental data management lifecycle and the recently revised NOAA Administrative Order 212-15 and begin development of Procedural Directives to guide implementation.
• Socializing, discussing, and fostering NOAA-wide collaboration to address key environmental data management issues facing NOAA today.

GOALS & OUTCOMES

• Identify and inform the development of Procedural Directives for specific life-cycle components per NOAA Administrative Order 212-15
• Promote cross-NOAA collaboration in specific areas
• Provide an opportunity for broader community interactions
• Identify and document best practices in specific areas
• Identify current capabilities that can be leveraged across NOAA
