MDMS Release-2.0.0

The MRIP Data Management and Standards (MDMS) system was created as an initial step toward data management and standardization of MRIP data.

The NMFS Data and Information Management Policy Directive requires all NMFS funded projects to publish metadata and data in the Fisheries Information System (FIS) centralized metadata repository, InPort, within 1 year of collection. The Information Management Team (IMT) hopes to provide a new tool to MRIP project leads and data stewards that will enable and encourage the effective management of metadata as projects are developed, built upon the existing MDMS database.

MDMS will be updated to coordinate two critical information management processes: meeting the requirements of the Data Policy, and MRIP project reporting. MDMS 2.0 will replace the current project proposal and plan templates used within MRIP for FY2010, and include a project reporting mechanism. The scope of the data collected will be expanded to collect additional information management details necessary to fulfill the Data Policy. MDMS 2.0 will maintain the necessary data in the database, as well as provide output options for alternate output needs (e.g. "report" format).

This was developed in an ApEx application with the Proposal Module to begin with and then it was expanded to the Project Plan Module and the Final Report functionality. OT Chair and Team were able to track monthly progress of the project and the tasks associated with it.
