JMCDM
Joint METOC Conceptual Data Model (JMCDM)
To expedite the expansion of the DoD Enterprise Data Model in the area of Meteorology and
Oceanography (METOC), the METOC FDAd is developing the Joint METOC Conceptual Data
Model (JMCDM). JMCDM is a logical data model that integrates the geophysical data
requirements of all DoD components.
The Joint Meteorological and Oceanographic (METOC) Conceptual Data Model (JMCDM) is a
logical data model that integrates the data requirements of the Joint METOC data community.
These requirements include, but are not limited to the following:
Mapping, Charting, and Geodesy (MC&G)
Structurally, JMCDM is comprised of four branches: Observation Data, Derived Data,
Climatological Data, and Other Data of Astrometric Origin. JMCDM and its supporting
encyclopedia will serve as input for the expansion of the DoD Data Model (DDM).
The DDM represents the current over-arching data structure for the Department of Defense.
