ODM2 is an information model and supporting software ecosystem for feature-based earth observations, designed to facilitate interoperability across scientific disciplines and domain cyberinfrastructures. For example, a single ODM2 database can readily integrate diverse types datasets such as: hydrological time series, soil and sediment geochemistry, biodiversity surveys, oceanographic sensor profiles, multi-dimensional spectra, and more (Horsburgh et al. 2016). ODM2 was developed with extensive community input by integrating and enhancing concepts from ODM1 (from CUAHSI Hydrological Information System), IEDA PetDB & SedDB and other existing information models. ODM2 is a profile of Open Geospatial Consortium's (OGC) Observations and Measurements (O&M) standard.
