:: The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is dedicated to research and education to advance understanding of the ocean and its interaction with the Earth system, and to communicating this understanding for the benefit of society.  The ocean is a defining feature of our planet and crucial to life on Earth, yet it remains one of the planet's last unexplored frontiers. For this reason, WHOI scientists and engineers are committed to understanding all facets of the ocean as well as its complex connections with Earth‚ atmosphere, land, ice, seafloor, and life‚ including humanity. This is essential not only to advance knowledge about our planet, but also to ensure society's long-term welfare and to help guide human stewardship of the environment. WHOI researchers are also dedicated to training future generations of ocean science leaders, to providing unbiased information that informs public policy and decision-making, and to expanding public awareness about the importance of the global ocean and its resources.There are a myriad of information-related technologies being developed at WHOI. Two current technologies that we are willing to share are (1) the experiences we have had and work we are doing with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Tetherless World Constellation and other collaborators in the development of scalable semantic frameworks such as S2S for various aspects of scientific data handling and (2) techniques we are developing for the building strong ocean scientist - computer scientist partnerships -- right now in the area of data technology development for underwater ocean image informatics systems.

:: Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) is an international marine research program that explores Earth‚Äôs history and structure as recorded in seafloor sediments and rocks, and monitors sub-seafloor environments. Through its ocean drilling programs, Ocean Leadership is responsible for overall program leadership in the U.S. The IODP principal science themes include the deep biosphere and the sub-seafloor ocean; environmental change, processes and effects; and solid earth cycles and geodynamics. Tools to manage physical sampels and relate them to data have been developed.  Methods to work with deep time data and mediate between collection and sample based data are all areas we would enjoy sharing with the Federation.

:: The Large-Scale Scientific Information Systems research group is making two main contributions: (i) the rasdaman ("raster data manager", see www.rasdaman.org) Array Database System, which enables storage and retrieval on massive multi-dimensional raster ("array") data sets, and (ii) leading the coverage standardization part in the Open Geospatial Consortium by chairing the WCS.SWG and having editorship on most of the WCS suite standards. Bidirectional communication on WCS and related OGC standards helps to better educate communities about the opportunities the WCS suite offers, and allows to gather new requirements and other feedback on the specifications.  For our rasdaman system we hope to find new fans to broadn the user (and maybe even contributor) community.
