Slide 2
Multidisciplinary, ecosystem level approach Requires large
amounts of good quality, interoperable data Capture once use many
times Marine research
Slide 3
Oceanographic data Wide range of measurements and
variables
Slide 4
Wide range of measurements and variables Collected by multitude
of research institutes, governmental organisations and private
companies Oceanographic data
Slide 5
Wide range of measurements and variables Collected by multitude
of research institutes, governmental organisations and private
companies Derived from broad spectrum of multidisciplinary
projects/programmes
Slide 6
Oceanographic data Wide range of measurements and variables
Derived from broad spectrum of multidisciplinary
projects/programmes Collected by multitude of research institutes,
governmental organisations and private companies Using various
sensors to measure physical, chemical, biological, geological and
geophysical parameters

Regional data infrastructures A number of regional initiatives
have developed marine data management infrastructures Promoted and
supported by international organizations - UNESCOs
Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), GEO etc. BUT
Implemented according to regional requirements and priorities USA

Slide 12
Marine Data Harmonisation IG Objectives Promote the development
of a common global framework for the management of marine data
Identify the challenges and barriers to establishing
interoperability of data and services in the marine domain. Promote
the use of common standards and best practice across the marine
data management community Inform the activities of other RDA IG/WGs
with relevant input and feedback from the marine domain Disseminate
the outcomes of relevant RDA WGs/IGs to the marine data management
community
