In this paper, the technology of features and object-oriented method, a spatial-temporal data model is proposed, which can be applied in the large information system engineering like the ＂Digital Ocean＂, and this paper discusses the application of spatial data model, marine three-dimensional raster data model and relation data model in the building of Data Warehouse in ＂China Digital Ocean＂, and concludes the merits of these models.展开更多

How to store and manage marine data rationally and effectively to provide powerful data support for marine management information system and ＂Digital Ocean＂ prototype system construction is an urgent problem to solve. Different types of system planning data, such as marine resource, marine environment, marine econotny and marine management, and establishing marine data architecture frame with uniform standard are to realize the effective management of all level marine data, such as national marine data, the provincial （municipal） marine data, and meet the need of fundamental information-platform construction.展开更多

All observations from the surveys have been integrated and managed by DOIF. DOIF is capable of supporting the decision of making process for the sustainable use of marine resources in coastal regions of China, providing useful information and added value products as well as services for the improved management of the coastal areas in China with high business impact on the targeted groups as public authorities and commercial operators （e.g. managers, fishermen, shipping companies）. The future vision of DOIF in the international marine data and information exchange and service at Western Pacific region is presented in this paper.展开更多

There are many key issues need to be addressed, such as determining the target location of the data prefetching, the amount of data to be prefetched, the balance between data prefetching services and normal data accesses. Aiming to solve these problems, we employ the characteristics of digital ocean information service flows and propose a deployment scheme which combines input data prefetching with output data oriented storage strategies. The method achieves the parallelism of data preparation and data processing, thereby massively reducing I/O time cost of digital ocean cloud computing platforms when processing multi-source information synergistic tasks. The experimental results show that the scheme has a higher degree of parallelism than traditional Hadoop mechanisms, shortens the waiting time of a running service node, and significantly reduces data access conflicts.展开更多

However, to date, most of the studies and applications have focused on science, the private sec- tor and government. A DE-supported online oceanic educational public service and popularization system, iOcean, is studied. First, the vision for the public＇s engagement with ＂digital ocean＂ is described： an analysis is presented from four aspects, i.e., the space dimension, the time dimension, the state dimension and its relationship with human beings. Second, the technical framework of iOcean is discussed, including data updating and model computing, the data, the function, and the application layers. Third, two key technolo- gies are studied in detail that will enable the construction of iOcean. More than half a million public viewers have used the current version＇s website. Practical demonstrations show that iOcean can bring virtual oceans to web browsers and desktops and construct a bridge between government departments and the general public.展开更多
