The IOC-OBPS Repository is a secure, permanent, and searchable platform for ocean practices. It is a global open access resource, serving the needs of a broad range of ocean stakeholders. It accepts ocean science and services related methodological documents at various levels of development, adoption and maturity. This permits new practices to be published, tested, and used. It also enables practices tailored for a regional application to be accessible to interested users. The repository invites the ocean science and data/information management communities to submit their own or recommend other practices for the IOC-OBPS Collection. A list of Communities sharing their practices can be found here. Access the Repository here. Read the Repository's Policy and Terms of Use.
