Hydrologic Science
It is as important to represent hydrologic environments precisely with
data as it is to represent hydrologic processes with equations
Physical laws and principles
(Mass, momentum, energy, chemistry)
Hydrologic Process Science
(Equations, simulation models, prediction)
Hydrologic conditions
(Fluxes, flows, concentrations)
Hydrologic Information Science
(Observations, data models, visualization
Hydrologic environment
(Dynamic earth)
Water quantity
and quality
Soil water
Water Data
Remote sensing
Meteorology
Rainfall & Snow

•
Objective
Provide access to multiple heterogeneous data sources
simultaneously, regardless of semantic or structural differences
between them

Web Services
• A set of protocols that together provide a
mechanism for machine-to-machine
communication over the Internet
• Advantages
– Interoperability across operating systems and
programming languages (XML based)
– Application developers interact with web
services similar to the way they interact with
any other software library within a
programming environment

Managing Data Within ODM - ODM Tools
• Load – import existing
data directly to ODM
• Query and export –
export data series and
metadata
• Visualize – plot and
summarize data
series
• Edit – delete, modify,
adjust, interpolate,
average, etc.

Conclusion
Advancement of water science is critically
dependent on integration of water information
Models
Data Models: Structured data sets to
facilitate data integrity and effective
sharing and analysis.
- Standards
ODM
- Metadata
- Unambiguous interpretation
Web Services
Databases
Analysis
Analysis: Tools to provide windows
into the database to support
visualization, queries, analysis, and
data driven discovery.
Models: Numerical implementations of
hydrologic theory to integrate process
understanding, test hypotheses and
provide hydrologic forecasts.
