why marine data is underused • 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?

What do they use it for? Ur_EMODNEt 24 November 7/16
discovery, access and use - environmental law • Discovery • INSPIRE 2007/2/EC • Access • Environmental Information Directive 2003/4/EC • Use • Public Sector Information Directive 2003/98/EC Apply to bodies exercising public authority Don’t override IPR Ur_EMODNEt 24 November 8/16
Priorities for a better infrastructure • interoperability • collect data once and use it many times • provide at marginal cost • accompany with statements on ownership, accuracy and precision • sustainable financing at an EU level • process data at sea-basin level • build on existing efforts • develop a decision-making process for priorities that is user-driven Ur_EMODNEt 24 November 9/16
Objectives • to reduce operational costs • private industry • public decision-making • marine scientific research • to increase competition • to reduce uncertainty Ur_EMODNEt 24 November 11/16
