On 20-21 June 2012, 18 members of the OBIS development consortium met (partly via webex) to plan the future OBIS data system architecture. The outcomes of this technical group will be further discussed at the next IODE steering group for OBIS meeting in November 2012 and a final recommendation will be brought forward to the IODE-XXII general assembly in March 2013. The meeting report provides a summary of the discussions, ideas, and issues that will be dealt with in the coming months.
