  1. Operational integration of biodiversity and physico-chemical data: experience at the BMDC Meerhaeghe A., De Cauwer K., Devolder M., Jans S., Scory S.

  2. Organigram of Mumm SMNS I as the catalyst of IDOD Analysis and design of the information system Data flow from originator to end user Integrated and Dynamical Oceanographic Data Management IDOD so far … Current projects to push IDOD to its limits Gilson’s collection Offshore wind farm

  3. 1 / 7 Belgian Federal Science Policy, has his mission in the preparation, execution and evaluation of science policy and its extensions and the development of a permanent knowledge resource within scientific and technical spheres at the service of the Federal Authority Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (RBINS), is as part of the Belgian Federal Science Policy, a Federal State institution involved in important scientific research activities and carrying out public service missions The Management Unit of the North Sea Mathematical Models and the Scheldt estuary (MUMM), is a department of RBINS. MUMM adopts a 'triple M' strategy: Monitoring, Modellingand Management The Belgian Marine Data Centre, is a group of scientists within MUMM, whose expertise is oriented towards the management and the analysis of marine environmental data. Hosting currently two online databases IDOD (Integrated and Dynamical Oceanographic Data Management) and ODAS (Oceanographic Data Acquisition System) and different research programmes like Revamp and SPSD I and II

  4. 2 / 7 MONITORING DATA (national, OSPAR, ...) SEA SMNS II SMNS I SMNS I as the catalyst of IDOD Conditions: Coherent data set with high quality design and well documented Safe storage of data for future research (new analysis techniques) Performant analysis tools Objectives: To provide structured, homogenized and validated oceanographic data necessary for any scientific research, decision making and sustainable development To establish, manage and promote an integrated database of marine environmental data, ensuring a smooth and scientifically sound data flow between the data producers and the end-users 1978 1990 1974 1982 1994 1998 2000 2002 2004 1970 1986 ODAS National Scientific programmes and other projects ARC Impulse Revamp 17 projects and 31 scientific teams 23 projects and 62 scientific teams IDOD

  5. 3 / 7 Analysis and design of the information system Inventory of existing datasets and databasesData types collected in the frame of the programmeSynthesis of valuable and reproducible metadata Methodology and protocols to differentiate and characterize different parameters and data typesValidation rules and control charts to keep track of the data flow Detailed entities relationship modelFrom object oriented database to service oriented information system

  6. 4 / 7 QC:Standardized data transfer and normalization proceduresValidation rules and quality controlVerification of data integrity SQC: Combination of distribution, regression and interpolation tests resulting in a value of probability stored with the original value Data flow from originator to end user

  7. 5 / 7 Integrated and Dynamical Oceanographic Data Management Different datasets originating from different research laboratories Validation through RDBMS stored at the BMDCaccessible through the internet Different data types share a common metadata structure without loosing their specific characteristics Registered users can query the validated data online

  8. 6 / 7 IDOD so far … Amount of data imported between May 2001 and July 2004 Further improve online accessibility through … XML …and many more

  9. Gilson’s collection Constituted between 1899 and 1910 to better understand the relationship between marine organisms and their environment. A total of 14000 sampling events, 3000 for sediment point-samplings sequentially with 1100 benthos dredge-track-samplings 1900 - 1908 2004 - 2005 Revalidate sampling information, evaluate the geographic precision and analysis of sediment information stored at the RBINS reaches his end. Fitting historic samples for incorporation into information systems and current quality standard requirements is at hand. A century later we are near to Gilson his original goal: build a map of benthic habitats and superimpose species distribution as well as species associations maps

  10. Offshore wind farm C-Power Ltd. far shore wind farm project on the Thornton sandbank. 60 Turbines of 3.6 MW with an estimated production of 710 GWh/year Distance to coast 27 km, depth 6-20 m, surface wind farm area 26.4 km² 1900 - 1904 2004 - 2026 Monitoring: - Sediment and hydrodynamics - Noise and vibrations - Meteorological conditions - Benthos and fishes - - Bird migration, staging, and collision - Marine mammals - Electromagnetic fields - Visual aspects - The project will result in a large dataset with long-term data with high spatial resolution to analyze the environmental effects of the construction of a wind farm on the ‘Thornton’ sandbank, using the BACI -Before After Control Impact – design.
