Executive summary (in italiano)
Il deliverable SP7_WP1_AZ2_D01, intitolato “Archivio delle soluzioni esterne a
RITMARE”, rientra nell'Azione 2 (Definizione dello stato dell’arte delle soluzioni esterne a
RITMARE) del WP1 (Definizione dei requisiti dell'infrastruttura).
Il WP1 ha come obiettivo primario “l'identificazione dei requisiti del progetto RITMARE e
dei suoi SP in termini di infrastruttura per la gestione dei dati e processi.”
L'Azione 2 di WP1 ha l'obiettivo di provvedere alla definizione dello stato dell’arte in
ambito internazionale e nazionale in progetti e pratiche non incluse nelle comunità riferite
a RITMARE per ciò che riguarda i requisiti architetturali e tecnologici di RITMARE come
emerso in SP7_WP1_AZ1. In particolare, sono state considerate le soluzioni che
favorisco l’interoperabilità al più alto livello e che si ritengono più promettenti per garantire
la sopravvivenza dell’Infrastruttura nel lungo periodo.
Le Unità Operative hanno lavorato insieme per definire una lista di iniziative di interesse,
le modalità di descrizione di tali iniziative e la loro archiviazione in una modalità comune.
Sono state raccolte e archiviate 30 schede contenenti altrettante soluzioni/iniziative non
incluse nelle comunità riferite a RITMARE.

1 Introduzione
Il deliverable SP7_WP1_AZ2_D01, intitolato “Archivio delle soluzioni esterne a
RITMARE”, rientra nell'Azione 2 (Definizione dello stato dell’arte delle soluzioni esterne a
RITMARE) del WP1 (Definizione dei requisiti dell'infrastruttura).
Il WP1 ha come obiettivo primario “l'identificazione dei requisiti del progetto RITMARE e
dei suoi SP in termini di infrastruttura per la gestione dei dati e processi.”
L'Azione 2 di WP1 ha l'obiettivo di provvedere alla definizione dello stato dell’arte in
ambito internazionale e nazionale in progetti e pratiche non incluse nelle comunità riferite
a RITMARE per ciò che riguarda i requisiti architetturali e tecnologici di RITMARE come
emerso in SP7_WP1_AZ1. In particolare, sono state considerate le soluzioni che
favorisco l’interoperabilità al più alto livello e che si ritengono più promettenti per garantire
la sopravvivenza dell’Infrastruttura nel lungo periodo.
Le informazioni raccolte sono state organizzate in un archivio delle soluzioni la cui
struttura è tale da permettere il confronto con i requisiti (WP1_AZ1). La struttura
dell'archivio è stata concordata con WP2, WP3 e WP4_AZ1.

2 Attività delle Unità Operative
Le Unità Operative che lavorano in WP1_AZ2 sono:
•
UO01 ISMAR
•
UO02 IREA
•
UO03 OGS
Tutte le Unità Operative hanno partecipato attivamente alle attività dell'Azione 2 WP1,
sia in termini di collaborazione e scambio di informazioni e documenti, sia in termini di
contributo effettivo alla creazione dell'archivio delle soluzioni esistenti fuori RITMARE.
L'interazione è avvenuta principalmente via e-mail, ma sono stati effettuati anche alcuni
incontri, sia fisici sia virtuali, per chiarire alcuni punti specifici e aggiornare l'andamento
delle attività.
L'Unità Operativa ISMAR ha partecipato attivamente alle attività dell'Azione 2 WP1, sia
in termini di coordinamento, sia in termini di contributo effettivo alla creazione dell'archivio
delle soluzioni esistenti fuori RITMARE.
Le tre Unità Operative, congiuntamente, hanno contribuito a creare una lista di circa 60
iniziative potenzialmente di interesse per il progetto, di cui alla fine ne sono state
selezionate 31 per il censimento effettivo, fornendo semplici metadati di base per la loro
categorizzazione e la individuazione come soluzioni “interne” (WP2_AZ1) o “esterne”
(WP1_AZ2) a RITMARE.
La seguente tabella 2 mostra le iniziative selezionate per il censimento:

Per ciascuna delle soluzioni sopra elencate è stata compilata una scheda (descritta nel
dettaglio nel paragrafo 2.4) contenente informazioni generali sull'iniziativa, le principali
funzionalità fornite, i dati messi a disposizione e una prima valutazione preliminare sul suo
grado di maturità per i fini del SP7 di RITMARE. Tale scheda è stata concordata insieme
al responsabile di WP2_AZ1.
Le schede oggetto di questo documento, cioè quelle contrassegnate dall'attributo WP1
nella colonna “Esterne/Interne” della tabella, vengono fornite come file in formato .xls e
.ods allegati al presente deliverable. Per completezza e facilità di lettura, esse vengono
anche inserite direttamente in questo documento come allegato nelle pagine seguenti.
2.2
UO01 ISMAR
ISMAR ha avuto il ruolo di coordinatore dell'azione 2 WP1 e, in tale contesto, ha
provveduto a coordinarsi ai vari livelli necessari per inquadrare l'attività nel quadro degli
obiettivi del SP7.
ISMAR ha mantenuto i contatti con le altre Unità Operative del WP1_AZ2 (UO02 IREA e
UO03 OGS), condividendo e scambiando informazioni e documenti.
L'UO01 ISMAR ha mantenuto stretti contatti con:
•
il responsabile di SP7, per l'inquadramento dell'Azione nel più ampio spettro delle
attività del Sottoprogetto 7;
•
il responsabile del WP1, per l'interazione dell'Azione 2 con i risultati emersi dalla
raccolta dei requisiti (Azione 1 WP1);
•
il responsabile dell'Azione 1 WP2 (Analisi dei prodotti, delle architetture e delle
soluzioni tecnologiche), per il coordinamento nella creazione e popolamento delle
schede di censimento delle soluzioni individuate
•
il responsabile dell'Azione 1 WP4_AZ1 (Analisi di confronto (gap analysis)) per
concordare le modalità di descrizione delle soluzioni in modo che possano essere
utilizzate efficacemente durante la fase di gap analysis.
Tra quelle caratterizzate come “esterne”, l'UO01 ISMAR ha analizzato in particolare 7
infrastrutture/soluzioni/progetti (vedi Allegato 1 per le schede di dettaglio):

UO02 IREA
L’UO02 ha fornito supporto per la ricerca e il censimento di alcune soluzioni infrastrutturali
per la catalogazione, gestione, visualizzazione e offerta di dati marini e marittimi, esistenti
ed implementate al di fuori del consorzio di RITMARE.
Secondo lo schema della base di dati di requisiti e soluzioni per il SP7, preparata
all'interno dei lavori di WP1_AZ1 e WP4_AZ1, e in coordinamento con SP7_WP2 (Analisi
delle soluzioni esistenti), sono state raccolte schede dettagliate che analizzano le
seguenti soluzioni infrastrutturali esterne al progetto RITMARE (si allegano dette schede
nell'Allegato 2):

Le attività svolte da UO02 sono state svolte in connessione e secondo le direttive del WP
leader, con il costante aggiornamento sullo stato dei lavori di tutte le unità coinvolte
tramite incontri fisici e virtuali.
In aggiunta alle schede visibili nell'Allegato 2, sono state raccolte ulteriori informazioni per
ciascuno dei progetti menzionati. Un esempio di tali informazioni raccolte per la
descrizione di una soluzione infrastrutturale censita da UO02 è fornito nell'Allegato 3,
relativamente all’infrastruttura eMII sviluppata da IMOS, Australia.
Anche in vista del contesto internazionale in cui i lavori di Ritmare e di SP7_AZ2 sono
inseriti, le informazioni sulle soluzioni esterne censite da UO02 sono state raccolte in
lingua inglese.
2.4
UO03 OGS
L'OGS (UO03 del WP1_AZ2) ha inizialmente valutato le ricerche, progetti e iniziative
esistenti, sia concluse che in corso, a livello nazionale ed internazionale, le cui
infrastrutture favoriscano l’interoperabilità al più alto livello e che si ritengano più
promettenti per garantire la sopravvivenza dell’Infrastruttura RITMARE nel lungo periodo.
Codice documento: SP7_WP1_AZ2_D01
pag. 8/65
Sono state individuate alcune iniziative sia interne che esterne a Ritmare, che possono
essere utilizzate come spunto per lo sviluppo dell'infrastruttura Ritmare.
L'UO ha contribuito a creare una lista delle iniziative da censire, svolgendo un'intensa
attività di ricerca per reperire la documentazione necessaria per poter individuare le
iniziative esterne a RITMARE che potessero con le loro funzionalità portare un contributo
significativo alla realizzazione dell'infrastruttura RITMARE.
Inoltre, l'UO ha contribuito, in collaborazione con le altre UO appartenenti al WP1 e con il
WP2, alla scelta dei campi utilizzati per la descrizione delle iniziative ed alla raccolta delle
codifiche utilizzate per la definizione del tipo di dato, delle funzionalità, del formato, della
tipologia di aggregazione e della maturità dell'iniziativa.
Congiuntamente all'attività di censimento delle iniziative esterne a RITMARE, l'UO si è
occupata di collaborare con il WP leader per coordinare l'attività da svolgere in
collaborazione con il WP2. Ciò si è svolto anche attraverso una serie di incontri fisici e
virtuali.

INSPIRE (Insfrastructure for Spatial Information in the
European Community) è una Direttiva europea (2007/2/EC)
che ha come scopo "stabilire norme generali
volte all’istituzione dell'Infrastruttura per l'informazione
territoriale nella Comunità europea per gli scopi delle politiche
ambientali comunitarie e delle politiche o delle
attività che possono avere ripercussioni sull'ambiente". La
Direttiva INSPIRE comprende varie attività per l'attuazione
dei principi fondanti della Direttiva, che vanno dalla
definizione di regole per la creazione di sevizi web per la
ricerca, visualizzazione, scaricamento, trasformazione di set
di metadati, dati e servizi, alla definizione di modelli dati
tematici per l'interoperabilità, alla creazione di un portale di
accesso ai servizi resi disponibili dagli stati membri.

Prototipo di ricerca (finanziato dal progetto LOD2-FP7) che
implementa un catalogo pan-europeo e federato di dati.
PublicData.eu utilizza CKAN come backend per l'harvesting dei
metadati provenienti da 25 cataloghi di tutta Europa. Il portale è
in grado di includere direcotry di geodati come i registri nazionali
dell'inrastruttura INSPIRE. La raccolta dei dataset è automatica
utilizzando API, ove presenti, o lo screen-scraping nei restanti
casi.
Alcune funzionalità chiave sono: gestione multilingua dei
metadati; endpoint SPARQL (in aggiunta alle API CKAN) per
consentire un facile accesso al catalogo strutturato di metadati;
la categorizzazione si basa sulla normalizzazione tassonomica
di EUROVOC.
Tra le evoluzioni previste c'è l'implementazione del supporto
completo per thesauri SKOS-based.

EuroGEOSS adotta un modello basato sul Brokering per realizzare
l'interoperabilità multi-disciplinare e semplificare la condivisione e l'utilizzo
dei dati.
L'approccio basato sul Brokering non richiede ai fornitori di dati di adattarsi
ad un modello di interoperabilità specifico ma permette agli stessi di
utilizzare, per quanto possibile, i propri standard e strumenti software.
In EuroGEOSS l'intermediazione è implementata con un Broker per ogni
funzionalità principale: Discovery Broker, Access Broker, Semantic Broker.

amministrazioni per la condivisione di metodologie, esperienze e soluzioni
tecnologiche per la gestione, distribuzione e l'utilizzo di dati, informazioni e
conoscenza sulll'ambiente marino e costiero.
ICAN propone un approccio basato sull'utilizzo degli Atlante Costieri
(WebAtlas) come strumenti per divulgare la conoscenza ambientale (es. ai
cittadini e comunità locali), per supportare la ricerca scientifica, per il
supporto alle decisioni (es. policy maker) e per la pianificazione degli spazi
marini e costieri.
Oltre alla produzione di molteplici documenti (es. repor, articoli), la
comunità ICAN sta sviluppando un thesauro ambientale per l'erosione
costiera (ICAN Coastal Erosion) e un geo-portale prototipo per l'integrazione
e diffusione delle informazioni ambientali contenute nella rete degli atlanti
costieri. Il prototipo, nella sua versione attuale, è fortemte orientato

Eye on Earth
Nome
iniziativa/progetto Eye on Earth
URL
http://www.eyeonearth.org/
Rete informativa pubblica e globale per la creazione e la
condivisione online di dati ed informazioni ambientali, corredata di
strumenti interattivi di web-mapping. Eye on Earth parte dal
presupposto che la trasparenza e la condivisione di informazioni
ambientali pertinenti e significative permettono di migliorare e di
accrescere la conoscenza collettiva sullo stato dell'ambiente. La
conoscenza porta ad una maggior consapevolezza delle
problematiche e quindi facilita il coinvolgimento attivo dei cittadini.
EoE è fomata da due componenti principali: i watches (Water
Watch, Air Watch, Noise Watch, Nature Watch); e Eye on Earth
Network. I Watches pubblicano i dati ambientali delle reti di
monitoraggio istituzionali e li integrano con i dati prodotti ed inseriti
dalle comunità locali e dai cittadini. Eye on Earth Network è invece
una piattaforma per lo sviluppo collaborativo di mappe ed
applicazioni per l'ambiente. La piattaforma utilizza la tecnologia dei
servizi di cloud computing di ArcGIS online (ESRI) e di Windows
Azure (Microsoft).

instrumental packages onboard UNOLS, NOAA, and Navy fleets. During the late 1980s,
the data quality was limited by lack of continuous Global Positioning System (GPS)
coverage and uncertainties in the ship's heading information. By the mid 1990s, the
quality improved significantly due to the 24-hour GPS coverage, differential GPS
techniques, and the advent of GPS heading sensors. With reliable heading and navigation
data, absolute currents in the upper ocean are determined. The data provide fine
resolution in time (~5 minutes), depth (~10m), and horizontal distance (~2 km) throughout

Blended vector sea surface winds (at 10-m above sea level) and surface windstresses (stresses felt by
the water). The wind speeds are blended from multiple satellites [up to six, including Scatterameters
(QuikSCAT), SSMIs, TMI and AMSR-E] observations, on a global 0.25-degree grid and time resolution
of 6-hourly, as four 'instantaneous' global snapshots per day at UTC/GMT 00, 06, 12 and 18Z. The
blended speeds are then decomposed into (u,v) components using the NCEP Re-analysis 2 (NRA-2)
wind directions interpolated onto the blended speed grid. The 6-hourly (u,v) instantaneous fields are
provided at our data site, and the speed itself can be simply computed as w=(u^2+v^2)^0.5, which is
exactly the blended speed from the multiple satellites. This analysis was done for the seasonal spring
average from 1990 to 2010.

This includes proposed, active, and out of service as of July 2011.
• Borrow Sites: Coastal restoration, beach nourishment, and levee reconstruction are crucial to mitigate
future coastal erosion, land loss, flooding, and storm damage in the Gulf of Mexico. The success of that
long-term effort depends on locating and securing significant quantities of OCS sediment resources that
are compatible with the target environments being restored. Offshore sand resources, like upland
sources, are extremely scarce where most needed. Additionally, vast areas of these relatively small
offshore sand resources are not extractable because of the presence of oil and gas infrastructure,
archaeologically sensitive areas, and biologically sensitive areas.

repository
(https://github.com/aodn/aodn-portal). The AODN Portal web application is built
largely on Grails and ExtJS. Grails is an opensource framework for web
development using Groovy. We chose Grails as our core framework because we
need to rapidly respond to changing user requirements and feature requests. Grails
is one of the modern frameworks that allow the rapid development of web
applications using approaches such as “convention over configuration”. This
approach allows Grails (rather than the developer) to manage the configuration of
the underlying components. Grails is built on reliable Java technologies such as
Spring (for controller logic, run-time configuration, transactions etc) and Hibernate
(for object-relational mapping) - all of which are managed by the Grails framework.
Groovy (the programming language used by Grails) works with existing Java
libraries. For this reason, it fits well with the eMII environment, which includes many
Java based applications. Grails uses the popular MVC (Model, View, Controller)
design pattern, and encourages the separation of business logic into service
classes. The portal's administrator interface is built with straight Grails. The
client-side user interface is built using ExtJS, which is an opensource JavaScript
library. The map functionality is implemented using OpenLayers, which is an
opensource JavaScript library for displaying interactive maps.
The portal application is backed by a PostgreSQL database, and uses the Grails
Object Relational Mapping (GORM) implementation to persist the domain objects.
The search functionality, however, is delivered by GeoNetwork, which is a Java
based metadata catalog for geospatial data. eMII is an active member of the
GeoNetwork opensource community. The spatial search aspect of the portal's
broader search capability has been further enhanced by a custom (Grails based)
spatial search index that sits in-between the portal and the catalog. This was
developed to ensure that search results from spatial queries not only overlap the
bounding box supplied by the user, but that spatial features actually exist in the
requested region.
Authentication is implemented using OpenID, which is an open standard that
allows users to consolidate their digital identities. OpenID is provided by many large
web sites including Google. There is an IMOS OpenID provider. The solution allows
portal users to access the help forum (and potentially other IMOS web apps) using a
single IMOS (or other OpenID) identifier. Authorisation (ie. access to features once
logged in) within the portal is implemented with Apache Shiro (using a Grails plugin).
The help forum is based on Drupal, which is a popular content management
system.

Unit testing and integration testing of the Grails components is implemented using
the Grails unit testing framework (which uses the popular Java unit testing
framework jUnit). The JavaScript is tested using Jasmin. Continuous integration is
configured with Jenkins.
There are separate instances of the portal application for IMOS, the AODN and
state regional views. The separate instances have been re-skinned and configured
to point to the appropriate GeoNetwork and WMS servers. All instances run on
Apache Tomcat under CentOS.
Map layers are delivered via servers supporting the OGC WMS standard. The
metadata records that describe the IMOS data conform to the ISO19115 Marine
Community Profile. The IMOS data is largely stored as NetCDF files. The netCDF
files are served by THREDDS.

description
Opportunity Underway CO2 Measurement research
group on RV Southern Surveyo and RV l'Astrolabe
The fugacity of carbon dioxide (fCO2) in surface
seawater was measured using a General Oceanics
Inc. automated system (Model 8050; Pierrot et al
2009). Seawater is sprayed into an equilibration
chamber and CO2 in the headspace gas
equilibrates with the seawater. The headspace gas
is pumped through a thermoelectric condenser
followed by a nafion drying tube before flowing
through a Licor 7000 non-dispersive infrared gas
analyser used to measure the CO2 mole fraction
(XCO2) of the dried air. The gas flow is stopped
temporarily for the CO2 measurements, which are
made at atmospheric pressure. A set of four CO2
standards that cover the range of CO2 values
expected in the ocean are analysed about every
four hours to calibrate the gas analyser. The
standard gas concentrations are on the
WMO-X2007 mole fraction scale for CO2-in-air.
Atmospheric XCO2 (dry) is measured after the
standards by pumping clean outside air from an
intake on the forward mast of the ship. The
seawater intake is located at about 5.5m depth in

The Australian National Mooring Network Facility
is a series of national reference stations and
regional moorings designed to monitor particular
oceanographic phenomena in Australian coastal
ocean waters. There are seven sub-facilities in the
ANMN: four regional sub-facilities, a series of
National Reference Stations (NRS), Acoustic
Observatories and an Acidification Moorings
sub-facility. The ANMN sub-facilities are: a)
Queensland and Northern Australia b) New South
Wales c) Southern Australia d) Western Australia e)
Acoustic Observatories f) National Reference
Stations (Coordination and Analysis) g) Acidification
Moorings The National Reference Stations are the
backbone component of the observing system.
Extended by IMOS from three to nine sites around
the entire Australian continent, the stations report
integrated biological, chemical and physical
oceanography time series observations, upon which
more intensive local and regional scale studies can
be referenced against. The regional moorings
monitor the interaction between boundary currents
and shelf water masses and their consequent
impact upon ocean productivity (e.g. Perth Canyon
Upwelling; Kangaroo Island Upwelling) and
ecosystem distribution and resilience (e.g. Coral
Sea interaction with the Great Barrier Reef ).
Operation of the network is distributed between
several operators and coordinated nationally.
Fuorescence data are measured by Wetlabs WQM
instruments.

The Australian Animal Tagging And Monitoring
description
System (AATAMS) is a coordinated marine animal
tagging project. The project has deployed a network
of acoustic receivers to detect the movements of
tagged marine animals in coastal waters around
Australia. Animals can be monitored over scales of
hundreds of metres to hundreds of kilometres. An
array or network consists of a series of acoustic
receivers that can be left on the sea floor for up to 7
years with the ability to upload data from the
receivers as often as needed. AATAMS and eMII
have worked together to create a readily accessible
data search page which displays: - installations of
AATAMS receiver arrays/curtains - all AATAMS
acoustic receiver deployments - all AATAMS
acoustic tagging activity - all detections of tagged
animals Data can be viewed or downloaded in .xml,

The IMOS Facility for Intelligent Monitoring of
description
Marine Systems is a sensor network established in
the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland,
Australia. A 'sensor network' is an array of small,
wirelessly interconnected sensors that collectively
stream sensor data to a central data aggregation
point. Sensor networks can be used to provide
spatially dense bio-physical measurements in
real-time. In the marine environment they have
particular application to the study of benthic
ecosystems. FAIMMS sensors collect data related
to the interaction of heat and light in coral
bleaching, and to help understand the impact of
upwelling from the Coral Sea upon the productivity
of Great Barrier Reef ecosystemsThe immediate
value of the network will be its ability to return
spatially dense bio-physical measurements in
real-time. As such this represents a large scale trial
or "proof of concept" of a very important emerging
technology for application in the marine
environment with particular relevance to benthic
ecosystems such as Great Barrier Reef and other
benthic environments.instruments, depending on

Numerical modelling of the global ocean currently
requires models specifically deigned for the task at
hand. These models contain the computational
physics and software engineering necessary to
resolve the global ocean's dominant large scale
physics without compromising run times. While
these models may be eddy resolving in the ocean
basins, on coastal margins their accuracy
deteriorates due to their inability to resolve the
dominant scales of motion. It is in these coastal
zones that accurate numerical prediction is often
required to address numerous coastal issues. In the
past global models have been unsuitable for high
resolution limited area modelling of coastal
domains, however, recently there has been a
convergence of global and regional models to the
extent that some global models (e.g. MOM4p1) are
capable of accurately representing limited area
coastal domains. This is largely due to the inclusion
of adequate turbulence closure and open boundary
algorithms required to characterise coastal
processes.

South East Tasmania Model output (SETAS) aims
description
to provide near real-time hydrodynamic modelling of
the south-east Tasmania, including the Huon and
Derwent Estuaries, D'Entrecasreaux Channel and
Storm Bay. It is anticipated that input data provided
by a sensor network deployed throughout the
region will be used by the hydrodynamic model in a
data assimilating capacity. The sensors would
provide sea-level, salinity and temperature data in
near real-time, while the hydrodynamic modelling
system (SHOC) would then provide near real-time
fields of currents, sea-level, water temperature and
salinity.

Descrizione della soluzione: FUNCTIONALITIES
Navigating the Map Page
The map page contains a central map image for locating data geographically, and
two side panels (the Map Layer Chooser on the left, and the Layer Information
Panel on the right) that can be expanded and minimised.
Adding Map Layers
The Map Layer Chooser is for selecting what data is shown on the map. A map
layer is a collection of separate data objects, displayed as a group when the layer is
selected. A layer is selected by clicking on an item in the lowest level in the menu in
the Map Layer Chooser. When a layer is selected, the layer becomes "active", and
various information about the data associated with the layer appears on the map
and in the right panel. Icons showing locations appear on the map, and information
and viewing options for that layer are shown in the right panel. Multiple layers can
be added successively to the map, and all active layers are listed in the Active
Layers dialogue window, which can be used to manage them. When there is more
than one layer in the list, the right hand information panel displays information on
whichever layer is selected in the list: ie. the one highlighted in grey.
Layer Information Panel
When a map layer is selected, various functionality is made available within the
Layer Information Panel on the right hand side; the layer type will determine what
functions are available. When there are multiple active layers on the map,
information is shown for the layer selected from the Active Layers list (highlighted
in grey).
1
The opacity, or transparency, of the layer can be adjusted
2
The Info tab contains information retrieved from the metadata record for that
layer, if available. Links to various online resources related to the layer can be
found at the bottom of the page, if available.
3
The Styles tab shows a legend for the icons on the layer. For some layers it is
possible to alter the look of the layer features by selecting a style from a
drop-down menu. Also on the styles tab will be an icon for Transect Graphing for
layers that have that functionality available.
4
The Filters tab: a few layers have a filtering option, and if this is available it will be
shown under a Filters tab. Such layers can be filtered by variables such as time
and geographic area.
Feature Information Window
A single click on a feature icon on an active layer brings up a Feature
information window. The window can have multiple tabs if there are multiple
features near that click-point. The Feature Information Window may contain
one or more of the following: brief information on the feature, links to a
Codice documento SP7_WP1_AZ2_D01
Allegato 1
pag. 63/65
metadata record, links to data, a preview chart of the data, related online
resources.
Transect Graphing
With the transect graphing tool it is possible to illustrate a particular gradient or
linear pattern; allowing a clear visualisation of the changes taking place along the
line. The transect graphing tool will be available when an active layer is present.
(Not all)
On the map click on a point you wish the transect to begin at. Continue to click on
the map where you wish the transect to cut. The transect can be a simple straight
line - 2 points or a polygon - multiple points. Double click the last required point. A
graph(s) will be produced showing the data along the selected transect, in a new
Transect tab within the Layer options (right hand) panel.
Animation Panel
In the animation panel, map layers with a temporal component can be:
5
Viewed as an animation over a defined time period,
6
Viewed on the map for a single date/time,
7
Downloaded as a still GIF image.
Add WMS Servers
The response to the request of WMs server adding is one or more geo-registered
map images (returned as JPEG, PNG, etc) that can be displayed in the Portal
browser application.
Contributing Data
The cookbook describes how to contribute data, it is compiled based on the AODN
instance.
(see attached file eMII_AODNCookbook-v2.0_3.pdf for details)
Download a Dataset
Many of the data sets on the Portal are available for download. There is a plan to
streamline the way users access and download data from the Portal in early to mid
2013. Until then, available data can be downloaded from the following locations:
11. From the map page, in the Feature Information Window, and for some layers
within the Information Panel. For more detail, see Map section below.
12. From the search page, within search results. For more detail, see Search section
below.
13. From within a metadata record: some records contain a link or links in the
'Distribution and Online resources' section.

To download data from the Map Page, firstly add a layer to the map by clicking on
an item from the lowest level of the Map Layer Chooser. For some layers,
individual icons appear on the map representing separate information and/or data
for individual locations. Clicking on one of these icons will produce a Feature
Information Window with links relevant to that location. Other layers will contain a
grid or field of data (spatial data such as satellite maps), and clicking anywhere on
the layer will produce a feature window with links.
Selecting one of these links will produce different pages depending on the data type.
Many Portal datasets are stored as NetCDF files and accessed through a Thredds
catalog, and many links from the portal (eg. 'Download Data', 'Link to the data on
opendap', 'Data available via the IMOS OPeNDAP Server' ) lead to a page
showing the Thredds Catalog, looking something like this:
