Training

Marine data science is an evolving and multi-faceted discipline requiring expertise across computer science, information science, data management, domain knowledge, and a range of analytical skills. We’ve attempted to draw together some key training resources.

Many organisations offer software, data, and data management training:

• Software Carpentry
• Data Carpentry
• DAMA International, the global data management community, and its UK chapter DAMA UK
  • Body of Knowledge, including Data Management Book of Knowledge (DAMA-DMBOK2)
• EDM Council, global advocates for data and analytics management
• British Computing Society, the chartered institute for IT

Whilst more specific material is available for marine data:

• MEDIN training workshops on the MEDIN Data Guidelines and MEDIN Discovery Metadata Standard
• Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs):
  • MOOC list – Oceans
