Subject of this training course was to establish ODP nodes in ODINWESTPAC region. 10 participants from Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand were attending this training course. Data centres were asked to prepare information on the data to be provided into the ODP as well as technical information about the potential hardware & software where the Data Provider software will be plugged. This information will be used to help organizations prevent potential technical problems while installing Data Provider and data source connection. First day was mostly dedicated to the theoretical issues – ODP technology history and status, software components, Light Data Provider functionality and possibilities. Practical tasks were splitted on Data Provider v.1.1.5 installation, complex setup and resource creation based on test data. Seven practical tasks were completed by trainees: resources construction from database, data files and object files, resource maintenance and support, metadata life-cycle and resource creation from the participants data. Vietnam, Japan and Indonesia provided their data. Finally 35 information resources from 10 Data Providers were successfully connected to the local Ocean Data Portal (installed on the trainer laptop). Outcome of this training course – participants can personally make Data Provider software installation and setup, metadata registration from all supported sources – SQL-like database, structured data files (CSV, TSV, plain, etc.) and unstructured object data files. List of supported operational systems includes Windows, Linux/Unix. Participants got basic information on new Data Provider functionality – Light Data Provider function.
