Background

Data availability of vital importance for marine research

European data set is fragmented

Not always quality controlled

Not always easily accessible In 35 countries bordering European seas

more than 600 scientific laboratories from governmentorganizations and private industry collect data

use various sensors on board of research vessels, submarines,fixed and drifting platforms, airplanes and satellites

measure physical, geophysical, geological, biological andchemical parameters, biological species, etc.

SeaDataNet project

EU Sixth Framework Programme

Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I3)

1 April 2006 to 31 March 2011

Objectives develop an efficient distributed pan-European marine datamanagement Infrastructure for managing large and diversedata sets

network existing professional data centres of 35 countries,active in data collection

provide integrated databases of standardised quality on-line

Building on experience

Data management of scientific projects, e.g. MTPII-MATER, CANIGO, OMEX, MERSEA, etc.

Leaders ofData Management Concerted Actions MEDAR/MEDATLAS II - Mediterranean Data Archaeology and

Rescue, aiming to make available a comprehensive data product oftemperature, salinity and bio-chemical data in the Mediterranean andBlack Sea through a wide international cooperation

Sea-Search The gateway to Oceanographic and MarineData &Information in Europe, to, to provide an effective navigation tool tooceanographic and marine data and information sources for European

marine waters and to centres in Europe with expertise and skills inoceanographic and marine data & information management.

Bringing in new partners satellite data centres

Infrastructure versions

Version 0

Continuation and maintenance of existing Sea-Search systems with minormodifications

Version 1All data centres involved in upgraded meta-databases

Technical Task Team partners involved in transparent data access, security,monitoring, viewing services = trans-national access

Pre-operational by November 2007 and operational by February 2008

Version 2All data centres involved in trans-national access and access upgraded

Operational by 2010

SeaDataNet Data Policy

Metadata free and open access, no registration required

each data centre should provide the meta-data in standardized formatto populate the catalogue services

Data and products services the general case if free and open access/mandatory registration

a SeaDataNet role (partner, academic, commercial etc.) is attributedto each user

Each NODC attributes the roles to the users of its of country

Out of the partnership, the roles are assigned by SeaDataNet user-desk

each data centre node delivers data according to the users role andits local regulation

each data centre should provide freely the data sets necessary todevelop the common products

Involvement in other networks

SeaDataNet partners are involved in many other Europeanand international projects, contributing and safeguarding gooddata management. Examples are:

Services for the marine geological institutes in Europe in the projects

EUMARSIN, EUROCORE and EUROSEISMICS .See www.eu-seased.net

Services for EUROGOOS for the European Directory of Ocean-

observing Systems (EDIOS). See www.edios.org

Partners in the MERSEA project (GMES) for the set up of the Mersea

Information Management (MIM) system

Partners in the Humboldt project (GMES) contributing to a European

Spatial Data Infrastructure

European institutions


16/18

a searchable catalogue of over 300.000 seafloor samplesfrom the ocean basins and continental shelves, held at

European institutions


17/18

Supportive to international initiatives anddirectives

GEO-GEOSS initiative (ad-hoc Group of Earth Observations

of G8) : Global Earth Observation System of Systems

GMES (Global Monitoring for Environment and Security) of

ESA and EC as European component of GEOSS

INSPIRE, new directive for spatial data infrastructure in

Europe

And can provide added-value forMarine Strategy

Implementation, providing a wealth of complimentary data (in

time and spatial coverage) for high quality assessments
