Joint CMM-IGOSS-IODE Group of Experts on Oceanic Satellites and Remote Sensing (OSRS)
Established: The (initially ad hoc) group was actually first established by the former CMM at its tenth session in Paris in 1989, which invited IGOSS and IODE to co-sponsor.

Its chairman was Jack Sherman of NOAA/NESDIS (who retired in 1997).
Terms of Reference:
Terms of Reference expanded through Recommendation IODE-XV.6 (Remote Sensing):
(i) complete the report on Ocean Remote Sensing Systems and Capabilities;
(ii) identify contact points for access to remotely-sensed data both raw and in product form that can be widely distributed to Member States and regularly maintained and be a contribution to the MEDI system;
(iii) consider the development of guidelines for the archive of remotely sensed products. This should consider the requirements for algorithm descriptions and detailed parameter settings;

GEBCDMEP/GE-BICH: GROUP OF EXPERTS ON BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL DATA MANAGEMENT AND EXCHANGE PRACTISES
Established: IODE-XVI (November 2000) through Recommendation IODE-XVI.4.
Terms of Reference:
Recommendation IODE-XVI.4
ESTABLISHMENT OF A GROUP OF EXPERTS ON BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL DATA MANAGEMENT AND EXCHANGE PRACTISES
The IOC Committee on International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange,
Recognizing the increasing importance of managing and archiving biological and chemical data,
Noting the recent development of global research and monitoring programmes that focuses on issues such as climate change and ecosystem dynamics, and relies heavily on biological and chemical data,
Recommends the formation of a Group of Experts on Biological and Chemical Data Management and Exchange Practices;
Further recommends that the tasks of the Group of Experts should include:
(i) documenting the systems and taxonomic databases currently in use in various data centres;
(ii) documenting the advantages and disadvantages of different methods and practices of compiling, managing and archiving biological and chemical data;
(iii) developing standards and recommended practices for the management and exchange of biological and chemical data, including practices for operational biological data;
(iv) encouraging data centres to compile inventories of past and present biological and chemical data holdings;
(v) encouraging data holders to contribute data to data centres for the creation of a global integrated oceanographic profile and plankton databases;
Invites the IOC Governing Bodies to support this Group of Experts;
Encourages IOC Member States to nominate experts having expertise in biological and chemical data management and exchange practices to the Group of Experts;
Requests that the Group of Experts maintains close relations with GIPME, OSLR and other relevant programmes;
Further requests that a progress report be submitted regularly to the IODE Officers and the IODE Committee.
