Oceanographers and other environmental scientists, and engineers engaged with technology used in such fields, explore theoretical and historical aspects of cross-domain data management as applied to the marine sciences, technologies that have been utilized or developed to apply these theories, and cases studies illustrating the practical application of both the theory and the technology to sustainable economic and social development. Their topics include balancing formalization and representation in cross-domain data management for sustainable development, documenting provenance for reproducible marine ecosystem assessment in open science, repositioning data management near data acquisition, and providing oceanographic data and information to Pacific Island communities.

A table of contents and a detailed table of contents are included in the front matter along with an extensive preface that contextualizes the research and makes clear the aims of the book. Chapters include abstracts, subheadings, extensive references, and key terms and definitions. The book concludes with a compilation of references, information about the contributors (who are mostly from Europe and North America), and an index. Black-and-white figures are used throughout the text. The book's structure makes it possible to find a particular topic, and it is possible to purchase individual chapters electronically. Despite its technical nature, the book is quite readable. Recommended for academic libraries.
