Dictionaries: codes and structured descriptions of objects (organizations, ships, buoys, satellites,
etc.). System dictionaries are used for the unification of data coding by mapping local codes into system
codes.
Distributed marine data system: a set of resources, managed by the Integration Server of the ODP
node (global, regional or specialized).
Interoperability: possibility for [spatial] data sets to be combined, and for services to interact,
without repetitive manual intervention.
Integration Server - the ODP Tools component for metadata harvesting (event-based) and data
download from the connected nodes through the Data Provider, metadata synchronization and data
exchange between the nodes, consolidation of metadata catalogs at the global node, interfaces with
external systems and applications;
Metadata: information describing data sets and services and making it possible to discover,
inventory and use them.
Product: a value-added enhancement of data applied to a particular application.
Resource: asset or means that fulfills a requirement. The ODP resource is a data/service submitted
into DMDS using ODP tool kit or basing on relevant interoperability arrangements. Resource has a
unique identifier and can consist of structural units – resource instances. The content and structure of
resource are recorded in metadata when resource is described
Service: distinct part of the functionality that is provided by an entity through interfaces
Transport data file: the data set provided by a node in response to the request from the Integration
Server or according to data updating schedule or event.
