Abstract

The Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IO RAS) has developed the ODBASE information system for cataloging, storing, displaying and searching for oceanographic expedition data. The article discusses the architecture of the information system, international and Russian metadata standards that form its basis. The previous information systems of IO RAS and some regional marine observation data management systems created in Russian scientific organizations over the past 25 years are analyzed. Probable reasons for the insufficient demand and termination of the development of oceanographic data storage and display systems are given. The presented areas of further work include an analysis of ODBASE use scenarios, refinement and expansion of the software functionality, and the possibility of using operational data. The presented results are significant in light of the tasks of marine environment monitoring systems set at one of the sessions of the Conference “Russia in the UN Decade of Ocean Sciences. Marine Science for the Economy and Social Sphere of the Country” (Moscow, November, 2023).
