| GODAR |
Global Oceanographic Data Archaeology and Rescue - The goal of GODAR is to increase the volume of historical oceanographic data available to climate change and other researchers by locating ocean profile and plankton data sets not yet in digital form, digitizing these data, and ensuring their submission to national data centers and the World Data Center System. In addition, data on electronic media that are at risk of loss due to media degradation are also candidates for rescue.

| ICAN |
The strategic goal of the IODE International Coastal Atlas Network Project (IODE/ICAN) is to encourage and help facilitate the development of digital atlases of the global coast, based on the principle of distributed, high-quality data and information. These atlases can be local, regional, national or international in scale. This can be achieved by sharing knowledge and experience among atlas developers in order to find common solutions for coastal web atlas development whilst ensuring maximum relevance and added value for the users.

| OBIS |
OBIS was established by the Census of Marine Life program (www.coml.org) in 2000 and was accepted as a project under IOC/IODE in 2011. OBIS is a free and open access data holding and sharing facility with over one million marine species observations per year since 1990, and is built and maintained by a global alliance that collaborates with scientific communities to support the application of biodiversity data and information on marine life, in all ocean basins.
_____________________________________________________________________________ |
| OBIS-ENV-DATA |
The main objectives of the project "Expanding OBIS with environmental data" are (i) to ensure mixed data sets stay together, (ii) to demonstrate that OBIS nodes, NODCs and ADUs, that hold mixed data sets, can collaborate on the joint management and exchange of biodiversity observation data including environmental measurements, and (iii) to show what the benefit of this approach is for marine sciences, biological analysis and modelling.

| IODE OceanDataPortal |
The objective of the Ocean Data Portal is to facilitate and promote the exchange and dissemination of marine data and services. The ODP will provide seamless access to collections and inventories of marine data from the NODCs in the IODE network and will allow for discovery, evaluation (through visualization and metadata review) and access to data via web services.
_____________________________________________________________________________ |
| Ocean Data Standards and Best Practices |
The objective of the Ocean Data Standards and Best Practices Project (ODSBP) is to achieve broad agreement and commitment to adopt a number of standards and best practices related to ocean data management and exchange.
