OI Projects

The applications listed below are part of the Ocean Informatics Information Infrustructure.


Data Systems

This flyer, Ocean Informatics Architecture: Recognizing Multiple Data Types, outlines the broader system architecture into which the applications below are structured.

DataZoo

Datazoo is a central repository for environmental scientific data and metadata of local projects. As an information system, it provides data aggregation, ingestion, description visualization, download, integration, and standardized data exchange through the following three application interfaces:
  1. Data access interface
  2. Management interface
  3. Resource interface

Zooplankton

These five locally developed web-applications provide queriable interfaces to zooplankton data from Mark Ohman's lab at Scripps.
  1. ZooDB - Zooplankton Database (1951 - ongoing)
  2. BTEDB - Brinton and Townsend Euphausiid Database (1951 - ongoing)
  3. MEDB - Marinovic Euphausiid Database (1999 - ongoing)
  4. CEQuI - Comprehensive Euphausiid Query Interface
  5. Brinton Euphausiid Plot Gallery

Ichthyoplankton

Web query interface to CalCOFI at Southwest Fisheries Science Center's ichthyoplankton database.
  1. Data access interface


Management Applications

PZ Manager

PZ Manager is a management web interface into the Ocean Informatics personnel backend, People Zoo.

CV Manager

CV Manager is a web interface to the Ocean Informatics controlled vocabulary database.


Collaborative Devices

Unit Registry

The Unit Registry is a current effort to develop an LTER network-wide database and web service for scientific units to enable cross-site comparison of methods and data.

Cruise Registry

The Cruise Registry is a work in progress to establish an authoritative list of scientific cruises and collection platforms for use in cross-database alignment of similar data. The list currently contains the full set of cruises documented in the CalCOFI at SIO's CTD bottle and CalCOFI at Southwest Fisheries Science Center's ichthyoplankton databases.
