- Title
EVENT-CENTRIC INFORMATION MANAGEMENT FOR MARINE DISTRICT GOVERNANCE.
- Authors
Wyse, James E. (Jim)
- Abstract
A considerable variety of processes operate in multi-use marine districts: directing vessel traffic, responding to marine emergencies, tracking invasive species, among many others. Each process responds to pre-designated events; and every process is supported by information systems that manage and maintain repositories of district-relevant information. Taken across all processes and their supporting systems, repository content holds considerable potential to inform marine district governance and improve the quality of governance decisions. This article formulates an event-centric conceptual framework bringing together district-relevant events, event detection mechanisms, event response processes, and event-referent information repositories to support marine district governance. The framework provides a basis for assessing the applicability of information from disparate operational processes and the information acquisition and retention technologies they incorporate. The role of a pan-process information integrator is identified as a critical service to marine district governance. The paper concludes by delineating areas of further work to validate, enrich, and extend the event-centric framework.
