Marine Information Management System (MIMS) - South Africa's oceans and coastal data archive
The Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) has initiated the development of the Marine Information Management System (MIMS).
MIMS is tasked with the long-term preservation of South Africa’s ocean and coastal data.
It provides the primary access to all data collected by the Oceans and Coasts Chief Directorate while also acting as a trusted broker of scientific marine data for a wide range of South African institutions.
- MIMS operates on the Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data principles, and strives to adhere to the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model with the aim of maximising ocean data exchange and use while respecting the conditions stipulated by the Data Provider.
- MIMS is a component of the national Oceans and Coastal Information Management System (OCIMS) and manages the Southern African Data Centre for Oceanography (SADCO).
- MIMS has been developed by the South African Environmental Observation Network (SAEON) under the leadership of the Chief Directorate: Oceans and Coastal Research Branch of DEFF, South Africa.
