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
