How Will the MMI Project Do That?
Solve the metadata problem.Solve the metadata problem.
• Create and support a marine metadata community• A growing community of contributors and users
• Establish a marine metadata information center• A place that has marine metadata answers• We can’t be totally expert, but we can know who is
• Target the community’s technology needs• Guides; Vocabularies; Content Standards; Protocols;
Tools; Demonstrations and Examples

Is That It?(Yes and No.)
Solve the metadata problem.Solve the metadata problem.
• We will map and publish a few vocabularies.• The “side effects” are valuable
• Documented processes, training, and tools.• Common, central access to many vocabularies.• Functional services useful in applications.• Possibly, a standardized semantic framework.• Community of metadata-aware domain experts.

Longer-Term Activities
• Get more visitors, members (100), contributors
• Demonstrate usable results and systems
• Hold 2005 Marine Metadata Workshop• Will harmonize domain-specific ontologies
• Will entrain multiple small groups (experts in each)
• Address governance issues• This is (hopefully!) a long-term community activity
• Get funding!

Prognosis
• Technical• Talented people starting to create useful products• Big world with lots of needs—what should we fill?
• Funding• One-Year Program (through September 2005)• Prospects for finding money decent, but not definite
• Organizational• Need to create sustaining governance and financing• For external communities, MMI might be example,
consultant, or member organization, as appropriate
