Purpose and Background
This page identifies the ongoing activities and points of integration between the Cyberinfrastructure IO and the Marine IOs.
Definitions
These definitions are taken from the DOORS Reference Module, if not otherwise referenced.
- Platform: Collection of nodes, sensors, instruments together with necessary controllers physically connected together, with a known external geometry
Example: Mooring, Surface Mooring, Profiler, AUV, Glider. - Instrument: A device that contains one or more sensors and a method for converting the information from the sensor into a transmittable and storable form.
- core instrument (= core sensor): A sensor on the OOI network that is funded by the MREFC and whose presence on the OOI network flows out of science requirements.
- common instrument: A core instrument which is specified and selected by the OOI team. (JBG)
- IO instrument: A core instrument which is specified and selected by one of the Marine Implementing organizations. (JBG)
- PI instrument: An instrument which is not a core instrument. (JBG. Need to replace with the correct term.)
Organization of Material
The material is organized by topics, and then by data about each point.
Key Topics
The topics covered for each Marine IO are:
- Platforms
- Platform Descriptions (released, most current)
- Platform Engineering and Integration
- Platform External Communications
- Platform Interface Specifications and ICDs
- Platform Development

- Instrument Development (IO, PI)
- Instrument Documentation (Manuals, Activities, Metadata — see also Metadata Management, below)
- Instrument-Related Algorithms (ATBDs)
- Metadata Management for Physical Resources
- List of Standard Metadata (all resources)
- List of Custom Metadata by Type: Platform, Platform Type, Platform Instance, Instrument, Instrument Type, Instrument Instance
- Metadata Tracking Tools
- Marine Operations Management
- Local Operations Management Systems (e.g., OMS) and CI interfaces to them
- Operations Scenarios (pre-deployment, post-deployment)
- Physical Artifact Life Cycle Schedules (first-unit)
- Milestones: Order/Build Initiated, Received, Initalized (calibration, stand-alone tests) Lab-Integrated, Deployment-Integrated, Deployed, Commissioned
- Deliverables: Driver Drafted, Driver Tested
Subjects for Each Topic
For each topic, these subjects are covered as appropriate:
