Marine Metadata Interoperability

Marine Metadata Interoperability (MMI) is a framework that ensures marine data from different sources—like ships, research labs, and government agencies—can be easily shared, understood, and integrated. By establishing standards and common formats for describing data, MMI makes it possible for scientists and researchers to combine and analyze information about oceans, currents, marine life, and more, regardless of where or how the data was collected. This promotes collaboration, improves decision-making, and advances our understanding of the marine environment.
