Technical Committee Activities
(Report from Chair)
1)Partner table of expertise - S. Most has been gathering completed surveys from the partners. Bob G. developed a web site to add, query and review the partner records.
•
•2)    Dataset accessibility survey - An accessibility survey format has been created by the subcommittee. Many of the partner’s data links identified through a previous survey and through the GoMODP portal have been reviewed. This is still a work in progress.
• 
•3)    Update technical guidance - Thanks to Anne and Lou, a section on registering metadata records with the GeoSpatial One-Stop was added to the technical guidance. In the first version, we only had a placeholder for this info. The revised version of the technical guidance is on the GoMODP web site: http://www.gomodp.org/technical-committee.
• 
•4)    Participate in pilot projects - We may be taking another look at the monitoring location project in light of the IOOS Regional Observation Registry (http://oceanobs.org/wc/). Stay tuned for details.
• 
•5)    Other - Are we interested in NOAA’s Data Transport Library (DTL) - http://www.csc.noaa.gov/DTL? Anne Ball will discuss this when we next have a conference call.
