Session 2 – Objective & Guiding Questions • Objective: • To clarify the WISE SoE TCM processing phase & indicator • aggregation steps; to discuss specific QA/QC issues on raw & • indicator data; to identify challenges and opportunities to improve • QA/QC and data coverage/use • Guiding questions: • Processing phase raw data & responsabilities clear? • Opportunities for improvement?Eionet & EEA • Aggregation phase & data needs clear? • Specific QA/QC issues (raw & aggregated): Primary key values; • RSC duplicates; Stations Id´s and mapping WFD; Data • resubmission & recoding; Building trends; Waterbody types
Session 2 - Main topics from questionnaires • Difficulties with reporting process (Data Dictionaries; Validation Rules) and better clarification on changes • “ICES reporting” – avoiding duplications • Other Regional Sea Conventions & Eionet reporting: BSC & UNEP-MAP • Updates on DD (Eionet reporting) vs ICES reporting • Earlier publication of DD changes • Feedback on QA/QC - using email & CDR • Ways to simplify overall process (e.g. Merging DD´s)? • XML (through Access tool) and excel reporting
Session 2 – WISE SoE TCM data processing and quality issues Summary
Session 2 – Main discussion points Hazardous substances • Dry/wet weight • warning about missing information are given when submitted to ICES (May not be used in assessments) • can a similar warning be given for ICES data used by Eionet? • Specification factsheet with details on data specification (see EEA website) • Coordinate ICES & Eionet station dictionary • National overview of changes in station ID • NRC to provide list linking ICES / WFD / Eionet stations to EEA and documenting changes. • Refer to 3 excel lists in Meeting Folder • Important to coordinate & streamline with Black Sea Commission (station names, aggregation methods, assessment levels)
Session 2 – Main discussion points • (Non)reporting duplicates is clear for most countries • DE, PL, LT, IE, BE report part of date to ICES/ Eionet • SI reports 5 stations to both Eionet & UNEP/MAP • FR to check how reporting to OSPAR, UNEP/MAP, Eionet is structured • To send action list & deadline after meeting • including links to (downloadable) specification sheet • EEA/ETC to prepare ASAP country-specific station lists (WFD/ICES/Eionet) and kml files • Proposals on methodological changes to be communicated and consulted with RSCs & countries. These changes are also relevant to the work of data managers.
