  1. ASIA GEOSPATIAL FORUM 2013 “How inappropriate to call this planet Earth when it is clearly Ocean.” Sir Arthur Clarke

  2. ISSUES, CHALLENGES AND BENEFITS IN SUPPORTING DATA SHARING BY NATIONAL HYDROGRAPHIC CENTRE 25 SEP 2013

  3. SCOPE • National Hydrographic Centre • Understanding Spatial Data • Understanding Data Sharing Structure And Format • Challenges • Benefits

  4. AIM To Elucidate The Issues And Challenges Confronting The NHC As Oceanographic Data Provider In The Implementation Of Data Sharing Via Geospatial Related Standard

  5. NATIONAL HYDROGRAPHIC CENTRE Name : National Hydrographic Centre Main Role: All Hydrographic Matters In Providing Accurate Hydrographic, Cartographic, Oceanographic And Meteorological Information. Publish Nautical Charts, Tide Tables And Environment Report Assets: - 2 X Hydrographic Ships (KD Mutiara, KD Perantau). - 2 X Survey Boat

  6. UNDERSTANDING SPATIAL DATA • SPATIAL DATA • Data Or Information Identifies Geographic Location • SPATIAL DATA INFRATRUCTURE (SDI) • Relevant Base Collection Of Technologies, Policies And Institutional Arrangements That Facilitate The Availability Of And Access To Spatial Data

  7. CONT… • MARINE SPATIAL DATA • Component Of SDI Which Include Hydrography, Geology, Marine Infrastructure and Oceanography • TO ENSURE SUCCESS OF DATA SHARING • A Common Feature And Attribute Standard • Formulation Of Policy For Sharing

  8. UNDERSTANDING DATA SHARING STRUCTURE AND FORMAT • DATA STRUCTURE • Particular Way Of Storing And Organising Data In Computer So That It Can Be Used Efficiently • FILE FORMAT • Standard Way That Information Is Encoded For Storage In A Computer File

  9. EXAMPLE OF DATA SHARING STRUCTURE AND FORMAT NHC CURRENT DATA STRUCTURE FORMAT CONVERSION SOFTWARE TRANSLATE DATA PROVIDER STANDARD MALAYSIAN STANDARD (MS1759:2004) SHARING SUCCESSFUL HYDROGRAPHY S-57, GIF YES (FME) Data Structure File Format/ Software Data Source SHARING UN-SUCCESSFUL OCEANOGRAPHY ASCII, EXCEL ???

  10. CHALLENGES WHEN PARTICIPATING IN DATA SHARING AND EXCHANGE • DATA SHARING • The Voluntary Provision Of Information From One Institution To Another For The Purpose Of Scientific Research • SECONDARY USE • The Use Of Data Collected For One Purpose To Study A New Problem

  11. COMMON CHALLENGES Who They Are And What Is Their Data What Are Their Data Sharing And Exchange Protocols Who Are The Key People To Engage Within That Organisation

  12. PERTINENT CHALLENGE – HUMAN BEHAVIOR 1. CONVERSION CHALLENGES IN FULFILMENT OF MyGDI Human Behavior Aspect: Lack Of Proper Mindset And Motivation • Lengthy And Time Consuming Conversion Process From Data Provider’s Present Data Structure To Data Sharing Structure • Absence Of Established Standard For Oceanography Data Structure To Overcome • To Have An Oceanographic Data Structure In Accordance To Ms1759 Format

  13. EXAMPLE OF LENGTHY CONVERSION PROCESS

  14. PERTINENT CHALLENGES – HUMAN BEHAVIOR 2. ACCEPTING OCEANOGRAPHIC DATA AS A RESOURCE RATHER THAN END-PRODUCT Human Behavior Aspect: What’s In It For Me (WIIFM) • Ownership Dispute Discourage Data Sharing • Lack Of Scientific Reward System • Competition To Be The First To Make Discovery To Overcome • Data Provider To Acquire Knowledge Of Data Management And Best Practices • Adopting Partnership Approach • Data Providers To Adopt A Win-win Mindset “Sum Of The Whole Is Greater Than Its Parts”

  15. PERTINENT CHALLENGES – HUMAN BEHAVIOR 2. GAINING TRUST OF OTHER DATA PROVIDERS AND/OR STAKEHOLDERS Human Behavior Aspect: Lack Of Trust To Other Data Providers • Duplicity In Type Of Data And Research Area • Security Issues, Financial Costs, Effort • Intellectual Property Right To Overcome • Uphold Governments NBOS and OBB Concept Of Governance • Accept The Fact That Sharing Is Not Rewarded Monetarily • To Have A Dominant Figure As A Push Factor In Promoting Data Sharing

  16. BENEFITS Verification, Refutation Or Refinement Of Original Results Promotion Of New Research Through Existing Data Improvement Of Measurement And Data Collection Methods Encouragement Of Multiple Perspectives Protection Against Faulty Data

  17. CONCLUSION All Oceanographic Data Provider To Consider How They Might Engage And Play A Definitive Role In The Development Of, Or Participation In, The National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI)
