Best Practices for Ocean Observing Jay Pearlman and the BPWG November 20 2017 BPWG: Jay Pearlman, Mark Bushnell, Pier Luigi Buttigieg, Juliet Hermes, Emma Heslop, Johannes Karstensen, Cristian Muñoz, Pauline Simpson
Creation of a Best Practice A community best practice is a methodology that has repeatedly produced superior results relative to other methodologies with the same objective 2
Process example: FixO3 use case • Sensors should be visually inspected prior to calibration. • Real-time monitoring of the conditions of the calibration bath can ensure the bath stability and homogeneity at the calibration points. • Sensor handling and storage should follow the recommendations of the manufacturer. Sensor calibration should be performed prior to and after the deployment. The maximum period between two calibrations should not be more than one year. • The calibration and the deployment history of the sensors should be available for traceability.

Most potential BPs are scattered, Project have varying degrees of X accessibility, and varying digital lifetimes 404 Not found Project Z
Approach to BP System Priority is for consistent machine readable, taggable texts • with robust metadata Open access from Central Repository • Multiple coordinated locations for documents possible • BP developer retains ownership of content • Range of Documents accepted by OBP Repository: best • practices, standard operating procedures, manuals, etc. Journal articles are method (description) papers with • corresponding entry of full document in Repository Peer Review is optional; Peer review from large projects • may be accepted in lieu of Journal/expert review Provision for Community Dialogue (Journal, Repository) • 6
Best Practices Flow 8
BP Capabilities in the Near Term* • Objective is for an Initial Capability next spring which includes: • DOI assignment for documents • Semantic-based search and key words/tagging • Easy to use User interface • Simple submission process (including templates) • Help Desk • Best Practice “Research Topic” in Frontiers in Marine Science • (link: https://www.frontiersin.org/research- topics/7173/best-practices-in-ocean-observing • Interoperability with other BP archives *Subject to labor availability 9
Customer Support • Help Desk • Technical Support • Feedback opportunities o Content o Service • Surveys • Listserv 10
Ocean BP Definition • A community best practice is a methodology that has repeatedly produced superior results relative to other methodologies with the same objective. To be fully elevated to a best practice, a promising method will have been adopted and employed by multiple organizations. 11
Benefits to OBP User • Living, Sustained, Comprehensive System for Ocean Observing Practices • Ocean-Oriented Natural Language User Interface • Fast, Customizable Advanced Search • Open Access with alerts • Traceable Community Reviews including Peer Review options 12
Benefits to Contributors § Permanent archiving § User friendly and speedy submission process through Internationally § DOI for each document recognized UNESCO/IOC – § Curation and quality control of metadata and Peer Review IODE hosting options § Indexed by all major § Research Topic/Journal for search engines – visibility/citation opportunities improving potential § Use, search and citation for global metrics dissemination and § Community engagement and increased feedback citations/use § Complies with funder § Content harvested by mandates Google Scholar, Scopus, OpenAIRE etc 13 (OAI-PMH compliant)
Development through Collaboration • Partnerships between major organizations • Leverage infrastructure developments from other activities/disciplines • Engage community in testing and evaluation • Collaborate with ocean science research and operations programs 14
