  2. Data Archive Centres (DACs) Objective: Curate Upload and Retrieve Data Searchable Expertise The MEDIN DAC Network Marine meteorology (metocean) Seabed and sub-seabedgeology, geophysics Water column oceanography Bathymetry Marine flora, fauna and habitats Marine historic environment Marine fisheries

  3. Life before MEDIN • OCEANOGRAPHY • ? • ? • ? > 100 holders of marine data and information in the UK

  4. Life after MEDIN • OCEANOGRAPHY MEDINData Archive Centres • ? • ? • ?

  5. Costs/funding “Core” DAC Capability is directly supported by individual organisations with strategic interest in supporting DACs for specific data themes. Data Archiving Costs for new data supported by the data providers. These should be factored into the project costs at the beginning. Data Retrieval Costs: Data retrieval is free.
