Dear MEDIN DAC Working Group,

I am following up on actions from the last DAC WG meeting in December (and ongoing actions from earlier meetings).

Please could you review the list of actions below and report on progress for any actions that apply to you.

Many thanks,
Robin

ACTION LIST

Action

Progress


1.

Following Clare/Lesley review, send a template to DACs that lists UKDMOS monitoring programmes; DACs to check list and identify the programmes where DACs should be/are publishing and where other services are publishing.

2.

Lesley and Robin to complete DAC reaccreditation work by end of 2015.

3.

Dan Lear to plan and arrange provisional date for a technical workshop. Need to be able to report progress on this at next MEDIN Exec (3rd Dec).

Done. Workshop on 19 Jan 2016.

4.

Clare to draft a short statement for MEDIN Exec detailing the DAC view on archiving products. DACs could archive a fixed product but would prefer to focus on getting data into archive so that products can be created. The DACs approve of the concept of signposting existing products.

5.

The funding of small scale (£5k) projects has been extended. DACs to submit proposals for additional projects to Clare by 13th November 2015. Decision on funding by end of November, projects completed by end of 2015/16. Currently working on an historical ship log data rescue and digitisation project which is ongoing

6.

DACs to check the annual report and feedback any corrections to Lesley (by end December).

7.

Dan Lear to check the statistics for DASSH in the annual report and feedback corrections to Lesley (by end December).

8.

DACs provide input to Hannah Williams to indicating which INSPIRE themes are applicable to their data to include on MEDIN website

9.

Clare to check with Joanna Whittle if MEDIN is still to be the conduit for Cefas FishDAC data to data.gov.

10.

Jens to attempt to re-engage NI with the FishDAC.

11.

Dan to advise the IFCAs of the MEDIN workshops and raise possibility of running a tailored workshop.

12.

Those DACs (BGS, BODC, DASSH, Met Office) that have indicated they would archive data need to submit a proposal to say which data sets they will archive and what the cost would be. The deadline for submitting the proposal is 18th December and the work should be carried out by the end of the FY. A pro-forma with a quote for archiving 5 wave datasets from the Argyll/Atlantic arrays was sent to Pete Edmonds at the beginning of Feb.

13.

Clare to make MEDIN Exec aware that progress is being made on archiving some of the MDE data sets but that there are others that are not covered.

14,

DASSH to provide feedback on the proposed options in Paper P6, with a view to how their helpdesk would cope (by end December).

15.

Lesley and Clare to follow up website improvements with Hannah and come to next DAC meeting with a revised plan for improvements.

16.

DACs to look for Defra data in their holdings that meet these criteria and let Clare know (by 3 December for number of data sets and 18 December for completion of spreadsheet - see e-mail of 1 December from Clare).
