Abstract
The International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange of UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-IODE) released a quality management framework for its National Oceanographic Data Centre (NODC) network in 2013. This document is intended, amongst other goals, to provide a means of assistance for NODCs to establish organisational data management quality management systems. The IOC-IODE’s framework also promotes the accreditation of NODCs which have implemented a Data Management Quality Management Framework adhering to the guidelines laid out in the IOC-IODE’s framework. In its submission for IOCE-IODE accreditation, Ireland’s National Marine Data Centre (hosted by the Marine Institute) included a Data Management Quality Management model; a manual detailing this model and how it is implemented across the scientific and environmental data producing areas of the Marine Institute; and, at a more practical level, an implementation pack consisting of a number of templates to assist in the compilation of the documentation required by the model and the manual.
Highlights
The International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange of UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-IODE) is the governing body of the global network of National Oceanographic Data Centres (NODCs)
In this paper we have shown a Quality Management Framework model and presented an implementation of that model (Fig. 5)
The Data Coordinator roles described above have been key in the liaison between different business units, which in the past have operated as silos
Summary
The International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange of UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC-IODE) is the governing body of the global network of National Oceanographic Data Centres (NODCs). Support the Marine Institute in identifying the relevant competencies and dependencies required to deliver the Data Management Quality Management Framework (E). Improve the data management processes following the completion of performance evaluations (E) Be communicated both internally to ensure implementation and externally to offer transparency (C/S). The outputs area describes the data product or service that is produced as a result of the data management process. As part of the Data Management Quality Management Framework (DM QMF) Implementation Pack a Word template has been created which utilises the DCC checklist This has been piloted for several in-house Marine Institute Data Processes receiving very positive responses. Quality Objective: Take into account the data and stakeholder requirements as per the Service Level Agreements, Legislative Obligations, and National Guidelines on Open Research Data. Quality Objective: Improve the ’Processes’ following the completion of Performance Evaluations
