TRANSCRIPT
Beginning with an NSF INTEROP project whose goal is to facilitate the deployment of an Integrated Ecosystem Approach (IEA) to management in the Northeast and California Current Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs), the opportunity for a network of LMEs spanning space, time and stakeholder scales is becoming a reality.
These networks define specific components of interest to support the implementation of NOAA's Driver-Pressure-State-Impact Response decision framework and the cyberinfrastructure technologies to ensure data interoperability and reuse.
Until now, what was lacking was a process to bring together existing knowledge networks to identify, review, and synthesize the best assessment and management practices among the community of LME practitioners facilitating exchange of lessons learned.
The scope of the network includes key stakeholders in four areas: scientists and data providers, agencies, national communities of practice, and decision makers/ policy developers.
Key to developing multi-scales network is semantically rich use case and information model development using expertise in semantic web methodologies, especially related to diverse vocabulary needs across the stakeholder areas.
Use Cases for Multi-Scale Knowledge Networks: Rendering of a Network comprises the type of Node and the Relation type.
Network of the virtual organization of stakeholder relations
Network of all regional planning entities
Network of trans-boundary education organizations and participants
Network of the intersection of academic and agency people in a particular region (and their relations)
Network of an LME as a place (all stakeholders, resources, interactions)
Network of the intersection of science and planning considerations
Network of collaborations and contributors to an ecosystem status report

Instances populate the model, i.e. the graph. A use case defines a query of that graph. The result of the query is a rendering of its network.
