  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Report of International Coastal Atlas Network Workshop 4: Formalizing the Network, Engaging the Mediterranean Author: Dwyer, Ned, Kopke, Kathrin, Wright, Dawn, O'Dea, Liz From November 16 to 20, 2009, the International Coastal Atlas Network (ICAN) held a workshop on “Formalizing the Network, Engaging the Mediterranean” at the Adriatico Guest House of the UNESCO International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy. The workshop (aka “ICAN 4”) engaged 32 participants from 12 countries, representing 26 organizations and multiple areas of scientific and technical expertise. This meeting was a follow-up to the successful 2008 workshop on “Federated Coastal Atlases: Building the Interoperable Approach” (aka “ICAN 3”) held in Copenhagen, Denmark, as well as the 2007 workshop on “Coastal Atlas Interoperability” (aka “ICAN 2” in Corvallis, Oregon, USA) and the 2006 meeting “Potentials and Limitations of Coastal Web Atlases” (aka “ICAN 1” in Cork, Ireland). ICAN 3 continued the momentum by identifying the additional opportunities for partnering on coastal web atlas development throughout Europe, demonstrating the atlas interoperability prototype to the European Environment Agency and its many partners, and initiating the development of a long-term strategy and governance model for ICAN. ICAN 2 examined best practices for achieving interoperability between atlases, and led to the design of a demonstration interoperability prototype using the metadata catalogues of two atlases. ICAN 1 examined state-of-the-art developments in coastal web atlases (CWAs) from Europe and the U.S., shared several case studies and lessons learned, and established key issues and recommendations related to the design, data requirements, technology and institutional capacity needed for these atlases. At the conclusion of ICAN 3 it was abundantly clear that ICAN had grown from a simple idea to the cusp of a formal virtual organization, which had captured the interest of the European Environment Agency (EEA), the European Commission, UNESCO, and several government agencies, companies, non-governmental organizations, and universities. However, much more work needed to be accomplished. Therefore, the activities of ICAN 4 included:  Discussions of final implementation structures for governance (including formal procedures for receiving new members), technical activities, and continued identification of funding opportunities, so that ICAN can formally incorporate as a virtual organization (aka “community of practice”).  Presentations on emerging atlases in European countries (especially the Mediterranean) and beyond that are making themselves relevant through policy, environmental and socio-economic indicator work and related themes.  Continued progress on our ontology and semantic interoperability work, with an eye also toward articulating the benefits of semantic interoperability at a broader scale to non-specialists. In this we look forward to the advice and assistance of MMI and SeaDataNet, as well as to the new NETMAR (Open Service Network for Marine Environmental Data) initiative, which has already developed conceptual framework documents in this area. To this end, we also: o Held a small “workshop within a workshop” for atlas administrators on how to become a new node in interoperability prototype. o Initiated strategies on making further improvements to all those nodes (according to the Shared Environmental Information Systems (SEIS) principles of sharing information for multiple purposes, using data and systems that are accessible and interoperable). o Facilitated further work on partnerships, infrastructure and data exchange formats, all with the overall objective of enabling the nodes to share and communicate with each other, avoid duplication, and streamline information management. Presentations and discussion of user issues, including better knowledge of our atlas users, their needs, and on continued inventory, assessment, and evaluation of atlases. To this end, we discussed as part of a small “workshop within a workshop” how to improve the functionality of CWAs for general users, especially as the technology continues to change.  Small group meetings on potential funding opportunities on both sides of the Atlantic (European Union, US National Science Foundation and government agencies) in order to continue the work of ICAN.  Initiation of plans for a major ICAN presence at Littoral 2010 in London (European ICAN partners), as well as a standalone ICAN Americas meeting in Wisconsin, USA. In addition, the ICAN workshop took place around a two-day Workshop on Maritime and Coastal Information Systems, organised by the EEA’s Environmental Information and Observation Network (EIONET), which was open to ICAN 4 attendees as well. The main objective of this meeting was to inform the many participating countries of the EIONET National Reference Centre (NRC) network and to allow for a first exchange of views on scope and roles in the new formation for this entity. Four participants of ICAN 4 were invited to give presentations at the EEA/EIONET workshop, which allowed EEA/EIONET to explore collaboration opportunities as a result of ICAN’s emergence. The US National Science Foundation (NSF) had originally awarded support for two ICAN workshops, so there will be a 5th international workshop (aka ICAN 5), at the headquarters of the UNESCO International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) in Oostende, Belgium, August 31 to September 2, 2011. IODE will co-host CoastGIS 2011 in Oostende immediately following ICAN 5. Objectives of ICAN 5 will include follow-up activities that we did not have time to accomplish at ICAN 4, including:  Continued progress on our ontology and semantic interoperability work, but with an eye also toward articulating the benefits of semantic interoperability at a broader scale, to non-specialists.  Continued engagement and servicing of users of coastal web atlases, and on continued inventory, assessment, and evaluation of atlases.  Revisiting the main recommendations of the ICAN 1, especially evaluating atlas impact, and developing analysis and decision-support tools in atlases.  Forming proposal teams and submissions to the next available and appropriate NSF and other grant competitions (e.g., NSF Partnerships for International Research and Education, NSF Community-Based Data Interoperability Networks, NOAA, European Framework Program, InterReg, and ESF ).  Exchanging lessons learned in spatial data infrastructure between the US, European INSPIRE and other national and regional efforts.  Continued implementation and improvement of new governance, strategic planning, and technical working groups.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Vulnerability of port and harbor communities to earthquake and tsunami hazards in the Pacific Northwest Author: Wood, Nathan J. Earthquakes a . tsunamis pose significant threats to port and harbor communities in the Pacific Northwest. Developing effective mitigation and preparedness plans requires a comprehensive understanding of community vulnerability. Research presented here focuses on the vulnerability of ports and harbors to earthquake and tsunami hazards and includes a regional study of stakeholder perceptions, a community-based process that integrates stakeholder and technical advisor expertise and a GIS-based approach that combines regional data with local stakeholder knowledge. The perception study was conducted to gauge hazard and vulnerability awareness, current state of readiness and priorities for future work. To date, communities have developed mitigation and response strategies, with less energy devoted to post-event recovery plans. Although city and county hazard strategies have been developed, little has been done to make individual offices or businesses less vulnerable. To further vulnerability reduction efforts, respondents rated public outreach programs, cost/benefit analyses and hazard mapping efforts as high priority. The second study of port and harbor vulnerability focuses on an assessment approach based on the integration of technical advisor and stakeholder expertise in a collaborative workshop setting. Through this process, participants were most concerned with potential life loss and other nonstructural vulnerability issues rather than structural issues, such as damage to specific buildings. The inclusion of stakeholder input and assessments from both geographic and community function viewpoints provided a more robust representation of community vulnerability issues than only site-specific technical analyses. The third study of port and harbor vulnerability focuses on the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, with an emphasis on identifying community resources that protect life safety, the built environment and infrastructure integrity, and economic vitality. Products from this GIS approach, such as composite vulnerability maps, can serve as a basis for setting community priorities for increasing resiliency to natural hazards. Results from this GIS approach suggest that widely available on-line data sources must be supplemented with local knowledge if realistic preparedness and mitigation strategies are to be developed. Research presented here will help numerous agencies, organizations, and communities set priorities in future mitigation actions, be it research action plans, resource allocation, or investment planning.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Oregon Data Integration: A perspective on information networking Author: Lanier, Andy Demands for space in Oregon’s Territorial Sea and Outer Continental Shelf are increasing over time, putting pressure on existing ecological resources, uses, and users of this shared public resource. Data and information are critical to understanding the impacts of this “sea change.” Key ecological questions need to be answered to understand both the short- and long-term effects of implementing marine renewable energy facilities in an environment about which we know relatively little. Ocean management processes within the state, such as planning for ocean hydrokinetic energy projects and the establishment of marine reserves, require a wide variety of data and information to be used by agencies, scientists, communities, and stakeholder groups. Efforts to find, share, and manage needed data to evaluate these processes have demonstrated the need for Oregon to improve current data management and data sharing practices and capabilities. The emerging policy of the federal government to utilize marine spatial planning techniques to address marine management and policy at the regional and state levels reinforces the need for the State of Oregon to better structure its marine data and information sharing practices and to minimize duplication of effort. To address these concerns the Nearshore Research Task Force, a group of concerned stakeholders and agencies, convened and recommended (August 2010) the following actions: • Establish a framework community of data stewards for key marine data sets. • Specify metadata standards consistent with federal standards for all data acquired or used by the agencies and organizations responsible for ocean management in Oregon. • Maintain a data catalogue to track new datasets that are developed and clarify when datasets become obsolete. • Facilitate data interoperability by the adoption of cross-platform open standards. • Accommodate a variety of information including traditional geospatial (GIS) data; gridded data from ocean and coastal observing programs from satellites, radar, and models; point observation data from sensors such as current meters and wave buoys; and non-geographic informational data such as PDFs, reports, images, websites, and spreadsheets. To that end, the Oregon Coastal & Marine Data Network has recently (September 2012) been endorsed by the Oregon Geographic Information Council (OGIC) as a new Framework Implementation Team (FIT). As part of the endorsement process the network put forward the following mission statement: The mission of the Coastal-Marine FIT is to foster and support a community of producers and users of Oregon coastal and marine data to proactively address emerging data needs. The participants in this effort have been slowly working out a process to address some of the above issues, including working towards the establishment of a collection of network provider catalogs related to ocean and coastal data. Throughout their ongoing effort, the OCMDN has been tracking the data coordination work at the regional level by the West Coast Governor’s Alliance (WCGA) Regional Data Framework (RDF) Action Coordination Team (ACT). The community has members actively participating in both efforts, thereby ensuring that future efforts will enhance the connectivity and collaboration between state and regional data initiatives. The approach and goals of the RDF ACT and the OCMDN are consistent in that they recognize similar elements of an integrated framework for data discovery, dissemination, and distribution of effort. In this way the OCMDN is nested within the RDF effort and both networks will contribute and benefit from each other’s expertise, infrastructure, and access to resources.
