REEFlectNOAA Technology Partnership
Collaborating with NOAA to revolutionize ocean data findability and accessibility through innovative metadata standards and discovery tools
Ocean Data Findability Platform (ODFP)
OpenOcean is proud to partner with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to address one of the most critical challenges in oceanography: making ocean data truly findable and accessible to researchers, educators, and policymakers worldwide.
Our Ocean Data Findability Platform (ODFP) represents a breakthrough in how oceanographic data is organized, standardized, and discovered. By improving metadata quality and implementing advanced search capabilities, we're making it easier than ever for the scientific community to access the ocean data they need.
Enhanced Metadata Standards
Implementing comprehensive metadata standards that ensure ocean data is properly documented, making it easier to find and understand.
Advanced Discovery Tools
Powerful search and filtering capabilities that help researchers quickly locate specific datasets based on parameters, location, and time range.
Data Standardization
Harmonizing ocean data from multiple sources into standardized formats for seamless integration and analysis.
Open Collaboration
Building a collaborative ecosystem where researchers, institutions, and agencies can share and access ocean data effectively.
Partnership Impact
Improved Data Accessibility
Researchers can now find and access ocean data 3x faster than traditional methods, accelerating scientific discovery and environmental monitoring efforts.
Enhanced Research Collaboration
The ODFP facilitates collaboration between institutions by providing a common platform for data sharing and discovery, breaking down silos in ocean research.
Better Policy Decisions
Policymakers gain access to comprehensive, well-organized ocean data to inform environmental regulations and conservation strategies.
