The groups initial acronym of GE-BCDMEP was changed during the second GEs session to GE-BICH. Project Leader(s): Hernan Garcia and Sergey Konovalov Members of the Group: Hernan GARCIA (USA); Sergey KONOVALOV (Ukraine); Nihayet BIZSEL (Turkey); Klaas DENEUDT (Belgium); Laure DEVINE (Canada); Salim MOHAMMED (Tanzania); Toru SUZUKI (Japan); Yanxia ZHOU (China). Objective of the Project: To help develop standards for oceanographic biological and chemical data management and exchange, and improve the quality and quantity of chemical and biological data available to end users To promote greater integration of biological, chemical, and physical data within IODEs network of national data centres in support of biogeochemical research, and ecosystem studies and management. The revised Terms of Reference: (a) To provide an international forum, raising awareness about new initiatives, best practices, and emerging standards for biological and chemical data management and exchange practices; (b) To collate and compile guidelines, supporting the integrated management and quality control of biological and chemical data in IODEs network of national oceanographic data centres; (c) To contribute to the development of standards, controlled vocabularies, and recommended practices for the management, interoperability and exchange of biological and chemical data, supporting the scientific and operational requirements of the community; (d) To encourage data centres to compile inventories of past and present biological and chemical data holdings, and make data available to global databases and specialized data portals; (e) To encourage data holders to contribute data to data centres for the creation of regional and global integrated oceanographic databases incorporating physical, chemical and biological data; (f) To communicate the results from the GE to the wider community of data managers, providers and users. Duration of the Project (2000 - 2014) Activities implemented between April 2013 and March 2015 (indicate URL if the project has a web site): (a) publication of Recommendation for a Quality Flag Scheme for the Exchange of Oceanographic and Marine Meteorological Data, April 2013 ( HYPERLINK "http://www.iode.org/index.php?option=com_oe&task=viewDocumentRecord&docID=10762" http://www.iode.org/index.php?option=com_oe&task=viewDocumentRecord&docID=10762); (b) participation in the US BCO-DMO Geotracers workshop, April 2013 ( HYPERLINK "http://www.bco-dmo.org/sites/default/files/BCO-DMO_US_GEOTRACES_PacBasin_FINAL.pdf" http://www.bco-dmo.org/sites/default/files/BCO-DMO_US_GEOTRACES_PacBasin_FINAL.pdf); (c) participation in International Conference on Marine Data and Information Systems (IMDIS 2013), September 2013 ( HYPERLINK "http://imdis2013.seadatanet.org/content/download/73117/950087/file/S3P01_IMDIS2013_IODE_Data_Quality_Flag_Chandler.pdf" http://imdis2013.seadatanet.org/content/download/73117/950087/file/S3P01_IMDIS2013_IODE_Data_Quality_Flag_Chandler.pdf and  HYPERLINK "http://vimeo.com/album/2539925/video/75560247" http://vimeo.com/album/2539925/video/75560247); (d) participation in 2nd IQuOD Workshop 2014 ( HYPERLINK "https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCcQFjAB&url=ftp%3A%2F%2Fhobo3.nodc.noaa.gov%2Fpub%2Fdata.nodc%2Fwoa%2FDATA_ANALYSIS%2FIQUOD%2F5.5_HGarcia_QFscheme_IQuOD2014.pptx&ei=KqWrVKSJE4n-UJDzgKAL&usg=AFQjCNG0aDp5xgp01PcglHqNuM33_fKzyA&bvm=bv.82001339,d.d24" https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCcQFjAB&url=ftp%3A%2F%2Fhobo3.nodc.noaa.gov%2Fpub%2Fdata.nodc%2Fwoa%2FDATA_ANALYSIS%2FIQUOD%2F5.5_HGarcia_QFscheme_IQuOD2014.pptx&ei=KqWrVKSJE4n-UJDzgKAL&usg=AFQjCNG0aDp5xgp01PcglHqNuM33_fKzyA&bvm=bv.82001339,d.d24) (e) Discussion of future Quality Control meetings; (f) Discussion on ADU and reviews of ADU applications; (g) 2014 Session of the IODE Officers, January 2014; (h) Discussion and suggestions on the IODE future; (i) Discussion and suggestions on the GE-BICH future. Problems experienced and measures taken: The major problem is a dramatic shortage of time contributed by the GE-BICH members and IODE funds provided for GE-BICH activities. The meeting of GE-BICH V has been canceled. The next QC meeting is not considered any longer. Changes have been proposed to the role and structure of GEs and IODE to help mitigate this issue. Results achieved between April 2013 and March 2015: (a) Recommendation for a Quality Flag Scheme for the Exchange of Oceanographic and Marine Meteorological Data has been published as an IODE standard; (b) Recommendation for a Quality Flag Scheme for the Exchange of Oceanographic and Marine Meteorological Data has been presented at several meetings and workshops; (c) Recommendation for a Quality Flag Scheme for the Exchange of Oceanographic and Marine Meteorological Data has been utilized by several data centers and programs for data quality flagging. Work plan and Budget for the next period (April 2015 March 2017): (Budget expressed in US Dollars) Activity (as per work plan)Timing (month, year)Total required fundingFunds already identified (and source)Funds requested1NANANANANA234 Several suggestions have been made to mitigate the lack of funds for executing GEBICH plans and to promote more effective member participation. One suggestion was to reduce the number of permanent members of the IODE groups of experts, potentially to 2-3 persons per group, and to incorporate to groups of experts some representatives from other programs/projects willing to contribute through their participation. Fewer permanent members would results in fewer needed resources and shorter unfunded plans, while representatives of other programs/projects will bring financially covered activities, which have been recognized important by leading agencies. These activities will be also provided with time of those experts because these tasks are important for their homework. IODE and GEBICH, in particular, would be recognized as a center for different programs to cooperate, rather than a funding agency. There has been suggested to limit the IODE activities to those, which can be financially supported and well developed to attract representatives of different countries and programs: OceanExperts, OceanTeacher, etc. IODE is to only start different large initiatives and to leave them in a couple of years for their own self-support. It will help IODE to have funds for new initiatives and other activities. Actions requested from the Committee To evaluate the suggested changes to the role and structure of GE-BICH and IODE. To eliminate the discrepancy between GE-BICH plans and available IODE funds and time of experts. To consider QC and QF activities of the highest priority for future GE-BICH and IODE work.
