This guy is asking for your data. He invented the WWW so I think you should listen.
In particular fast forward to 10:46 of this TED Talk
Your data is more important than your web site.

Publish it, link it, build things on top of it, and watch others build things on top of it that you never imagined.
A year later he reviews some developments (6min)
Linked Open Data, like what Berners-Lee describes, is a critical component of a platform on which we can build ocean information applications.
Make it as large as is feasibleMake it openInvite others to build things on top of it
Feeling uncomfortable yet?
An example closer to home, we’re clearly not starting from scratch
Google Crisis Map during superstorm Sandy using a simple kml data feed from SECOORA.
SECOORA published all their data in that feed including CO-OPS/NDBC etc

IOOS Service [email protected]
Tools to measure quantity and quality of the records in the Service Registry.
Regional breakdown availablee.g. http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/metadata/published/NOAA/IOOS/CeNCOOS/iso/
The challenge
1.Commit about 1 month of your DMAC staff time to installing SOS some time between April and September
2. Register each and every service endpoint (URL) in the IOOS service registry (NOT JUST SOS)
