The IOC Ocean Data and Information System (ODIS) will be an e-environment where users can discover data, data products, data services, information, information products and services provided by Member States, projects and other partners associated with IOC.
IODE will work with existing stakeholders, linked and not linked to the IOC, to improve the accessibility and interoperability of existing data and information. It will contribute to the development of a global ocean data and information system, to be referred to as the IOC Ocean Data and Information System, leveraging established solutions where possible.
The first phase of ODIS is the ""Catalogue of Sources"" which aims to be an online browsable and searchable catalogue of existing ocean related web-based sources/systems of data and information as well as products and services. It will also provide information on products and visualize the landscape (entities and their connections) of ocean data and information sources.
