WHAT IS MYNODC?
OVERVIEW OF MyNODC SYSTEMBACKGROUND
As a focal point for all
oceanographic activities inMalaysia, NOD has initiated theMalaysian National
Oceanographic Data Centre(MyNODC).

PURPOSETo provide stewardship and access for the national resource and exchange of oceanographic data. This effort requires
the process of identifying, gathering, storing, archiving and disseminating oceanographic data, information and knowledge
to its stakeholders.

MOSTI Responsibilities
 MOSTI acts as an Project Management Team to ensure
the project meets targeted milestones and deliverables
within the set duration thus reporting to Fund Section,MOSTI.
 Engage with national and international strategiccooperation to maximize the potential output of MyDAS
through Human Capital Development.
 Strengthen role of MyDAS (coordinate use of humanresources and infrastructure) to support MyNODC as anational database for oceanographic data

DATA SHARING POLICIESPOLICIES OVERVIEWDATA SHARING POLICIESPOLICIES OVERVIEWOWNERSHIPDATA TYPEACCESSIBILITY———

Ownership of the data will remain with
the institution or agency contributing
to the MyNODC

Institutions and agencies agree to sharemetadata of all oceanographic data

Data accessibility is available via data
download facility in MyNODC or request
access from the data owner

23

DATA SECURITY DEFINITION
5-TIER SECURITY LEVELLEVEL 1:
UNCLASSIFIEDLEVEL 2:
RESTRICTEDLEVEL 3:
CONFIDENTIALLEVEL 4:
SECRETLEVEL 5: TOP
SECRET—————

Public Information:
Information that is
considered publicInformation the agencies/departments had chosen tokeep confidential but thedisclosure of which would
not cause material harmInformation could cause
risk of material harm toindividuals or the nation if
disclosed

Information would likely
cause serious harm toindividuals or the nation if
disclosed

Information would cause
severe harm to individuals
or the nation if disclosed

DATA SHARING BENEFITADVANTAGES AMONG STAKEHOLDERS
Reduces redundancy of data
production in scientificresearch, which saves
investment and time

Assists the production of
more meta-analyses, which
address big picture topics

Incentivizes researchers toproduce and ensure higher
quality data for sharing withpeers, the scientificcommunity, and the public

Increased visibility for NODCs
producing ocean observations,and related products andservices

Encourages collaboration
among researchers to shareresources, acquire more data,and produce new findings

Better products and services
through data standardization

HELPS TO BETTER INFORM PLANNING AND POLICY FOR
OCEAN RESEARCH AND INFORMED DECISION MAKING
25

WAY FORWARD
MYNODC NOWADAYS AND FUTURE“MyNODC provides
an Integrated
oceanographic andmarine science data
management system
for stakeholders andpolicy maker to plan,
govern andsustainably use theoceans, seas andmarine”

Build a good
relationship withinvarious Government
and NonGovernmentalorganizations,
universities andresearch institutes
Centres ofExcellence

MyNODC as anational datarepository in thefield ofoceanography andmarine science
