  1. The MyOcean Concept P.Bahurel, projectcoordinator

  2. 5 driving objectives In « MyOcean concept document » A core service An integrated capacity A user driven service A methodology for development A pan Europeanorganization

  3. 1. A core service

  4. For intermediate users SYSTEM INTERMEDIATE USERS SERVICE

  5. A comprehensive and consistent description of the ocean • All areas • In Situ observations • Satellite Observations • Assimilative Models • Real-time • Reanalyses

  6. A catalogue of « commondenominator » data • Currents, • Temperature, • Salinity • SeaLevel, • SeaIce, • Surface winds • Biogeochemistry • 239 products

  7. A single and easyaccess point for users www.myocean.eu DISCOVER VIEW DOWNLOAD Open & Free

  8. about the « core service » • It’s positive • We have a core service • Wecover the major part of the requirements • We have users and the service iswellreceived • But • A fine tuning has to bedonenow, withusers (e.g. list of products, productsdefinition, portal functions) • Waveproducts are missing, and reasons are external

  9. 2. An integratedcapacity

  10. A pan-European system organization to produce marine information 5 THEMATIC ASSEMBLY CENTRES 7 MONITORING AND FORECASTING CENTRES

  11. A hierarchy in production systems, reducingunnecessary duplication • One nominal system per area to produce the expected information • Notions of back-up systems

  12. An information system to manage the data flows

  13. A common set of information, documentation, content and formats System descriptions, Product User Manual and Quality Documents Data formats Service and change processes

  14. about the « integratedcapacity » • It’s positive • It isreally an « integrated system of systems » • Weobserved a very good behaviour in operations • We have alreadyreduced a number of redundancies • Roles are welldefined • But • Some components are not fullyintegrated • This isstill a heavy management cost for the teams • ImposingEuropean (MyOcean) specifications on National systemsis not straighforward

  15. 3. A user driven service

  16. A service desk Providing assistance Connectingusers and experts

  17. Service LevelAgreements EEA Around1000 standard Service LevelAgreementstoday Specific management for major accounts

  18. A projectorganization to work on user’suptake • The WP18 in MyOcean, a project in itself to work on user’suptake • Four areas of benefit • The Core User Group • A set of User Requirement Documents (URDs)

  19. Meetings withusers User Forum Stockholm April 2011 User Training Bologna July 2011

  20. about the « user driven » • It’s positive • We have now a betteridea of ourusers • We have a first experience • We have an organization • We have something to offer, to start the dialogue • But • We’re not yetreally « user driven » : thisis one of the challenges of MyOcean2

  21. 4. A methodology for development

  22. Milestones, Reviews A high-levelreview group, with EC evaluators and external experts A revieworganizationat the projectlevel Recommendations, actions and decisions

  23. about the « methodology » • It’s positive • Wewentthroughthis mini-revolution • Weshare a methodologyto manage our pan-European service organization for operationaloceanography • But • The costishigh for the teams, and the workis not equallyshared • Weneed to simplify and ensurewewillworkwithit for good reasons for a long time

  24. 5. A pan-European organization

  25. To run the project A project manager A project office An executivecommittee 18 WorkPackages 61 partners

  26. To run the project A project manager A project office An executivecommittee 18 WorkPackages 61 partners

  27. To run the contract REA Project Office 61 partners and their administrative dpts

  28. To run the service! • A pan-Europeanorganization for • The service delivery • The operational production • The qualityassessment • Any change in the situation • Roles and processesdefined

  29. To ensurequality and innovation The WP3 in MyOcean, a project in itself to work on commonresearch& development, and innovation A ScientificAdvisoryCommittee 2 open calls MyOcean Science Days

  30. To govern the present and prepare the future ECOMF Annual meetings withpartners A Board A MyOceanAdvisoryCommittee Relations withstakeholders, and EuroGOOS

  31. about the « pan-European » • It’s positive • We are able to worktogether • We are able to reachour objectives together • We are fairlywellorganized • But • We must improveagain the overall communication, consultation, participation, decision • We must foster the links withEuroGOOS and stakeholders, and progress in our long term structuration

  32. Conclusion The MyOcean concept wasvalid, and we have implementeditsuccessfully. The MyOcean concept wasreallychallengingand we have not reached the final step. Improvementswillbe made in MyOcean2.
