The group of five institutes will be referred to as the OBIS Development Consortium. Each of the institutes will be invited to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with IOC. Descriptions of the tasks to which the institute has committed itself will be appended as annexes to this MOU. The membership of the OBIS Development Consortium is open; any institute that is willing to make a firm commitment to the development of the OBIS infrastructure is welcome to join the Consortium. Such commitment should be communicated with IOC through a letter to the IOC Executive Secretary. In order to start the development process, a technical workshop has been organized. This workshop will be held at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Dartmouth, NS, Canada June 8-10, 2011 During day one of this workshop, representatives of Rutgers, MGEL and USB will present the existing infrastructure. Presentations will focus on the search interface, systems, content management (Drupal) and the database. Identified issues and further development will be discussed. Examples of these issues are whether and how to make available OGC services, REST services, direct database access from GIS systems including Arc, Postgres 8.4 vs 9.0. A work plan will be created including coordinators name, timeline, deadlines, and deliverables. Day two of the workshop will be hands-on. Day three will focus on long-term plans where do we want to be by when? What should our system look like to make sure the marine community sees added value to OBIS, over and above GBIF? What applications, search interfaces, etc do we need to serve our specific community? A final report will document the outcomes of this workshop. Anyone wishing to make a contribution to these discussions should get in touch with Dr Edward Vanden Berghe, Executive Director, Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS), Email  HYPERLINK "mailto:evberghe@iobis.org" evberghe@iobis.org URL HYPERLINK http://www.iobis.org http://www.iobis.org ):;<Gpq ?
