  2. why data is underused marine observation and data expert group1-2 December 2008 2/31 HERMES 26 March 2009 2/19 • Discovery of Data. • Especially difficult outside your own community • Access to data. • Confidentiality • Desire of owners to exploit added-value themselves • Use of data. • Often restricted to “research” • Cost of data. • Landsat fiasco • Coherence of Data. • Especially cross-disciplinary and cross-border • Quality of Data. • Data unaccompanied by precision estimates is useless • Quantity of Data. • Are we undersampling?

  3. discovery, access and use - environmental law Apply to bodies exercising public authority – not necessarily research establishments seadtanet 27 March 2009 3/19 • Discovery • INSPIRE 2007/2/EC • Access • Environmental Information Directive 2003/4/EC • Use • Public Sector Information Directive 2003/98/EC

  4. incentives to make date available

  5. Design Principle 1 Seadatanet 27 March 2009 5/19 • collect data once and share it many times. • especially if paid by public money that is funding the collection of data, • does not of course obviate the need for confirmatory measurements.

  6. HERMES 26 March 2009 6/19

  7. Design Principle 2 • developinteroperablestandards • between different disciplines as well as within communities • respect the provisions of INSPIRE implementation rules seadatanet 27 March 2009 7/19

  8. Design Principle 3 • focus on sea-basins • process at laboratory level, national level, sea-basin level, European level • European level connected to sea-basin level Seadatanet March 2009 8/19

  9. Design Principle 4 Requires sustainable funding at EU level Seadatanet 27 March 2009 9/19

  10. Design Principle 5 seadatanet 27 March 2009 10/19 • Build on existing structures • Eurogeosurveys • International Hydrographic Organisation. • regional sea conventions . • EuroGOOS • allow EMODNET to profit from the expertise and organisation that has been developed

  11. Design Principle 6 seadatanet 27 March 2009 11/19 • user driven • need to develop feedback mechanisms • define priorities

  12. Design Principle 7 HERMES 26 March 2009 12/19 • clarify ownership, accuracy and precision • data should be accompanied by a statement concerning ownership, rights of use, precision and accuracy • allows recognition of data providers

  13. Design Principle 8 HERMES 26 March 2009 13/19 • freedom of use for publicly funded data • conditions of use remain prerogative of owner • need to move cautiously • a number of organisations in the public domain – particularly in geology and hydrography - are concerned that the loss of income from data sales might limit their ability to process and archive data. • nevertheless the charging for data for commercial use is a brake on innovation without bringing a net gain in benefits for society

  14. Preparatory Actions €4,250,000 Seadtanet 27 March 2009 14/19 develop, test, operate and maintain portals allowing public access and viewing of these data monitor and report on the effectiveness of the system analyse what further steps need to be taken keep the portal operational afterwards and be prepared to transfer to the Commission.

  15. Preparatory Actions €4,250,000 Seadatanet 27 March 2009 15/19

  16. Marine Strategy Framework Directive Gravel extraction, Renewable energy, Port operation, Aquaculture, etc physics in-situ space economics human activity biology other activity other species other activity geology hydrography fishing fishing fish Sea-level rise estimate Climate prediction Practical use Target users Public authorities Industry (value added services) Researchers public Atlas of the Seas: disseminate data, clarify policies and promote sea-basin approach Data Assembly and visualisation At sea-basin level; develop complete picture, measure quality and analyse gaps (including habitat map) Data chemistry

  17. Next steps Seadatanet 27 March 2009 17/19

  18. options • carry on as before • support data collection • support data assembly • support data processing (indicators etc) Seadatanet 27 March 2009 18/19

  19. Monitoring and evaluation HERMES 26 March 2009 19/19
