The West Coast Ocean Data Network helps to increase data sharing capacity throughout the region by sharing best practices and technologies for publishing ocean and coastal data. At the recent West Coast Ocean Data Network meeting two of our Network members led training sessions focused on best practices for publishing discovery metadata and web services. The trainings were videotaped so that they could be shared broadly among our network members. Please explore the sections and let us know how you are employing these practices at your organization, agency, or tribe.

You can access training materials here.

We plan to expand on these trainings over the next year to address new technologies and If you have a suggestion for additional topics, please provide comments below.
