1. MARINE-EO “Industry Day” Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere, I. P. (IPMA) - Lisbon 12th of July 2017 Procurement requirements for the thematic area 1: Marine monitoring, SatOcean services Dr. Charalampos (Haris) Kontoes| Research Director | National Observatory of Athens (NOA) Mr. Anestis Trypitsidis | Research Fellow | National Observatory of Athens (NOA)

2. Outline The approach Existing/developed environment EO Downstream Service requirements Generic Requirements # Specific SatOcean feature service requirements Supporting service requirements* #most of them are applied in both thematic areas *applied in both thematic areas

3. …… The approach

4. The approach Cycle of needs (Alain Faisandier-2011) User requirements steps

5. The approach • Information gathered from the survey responses : • prioritize 9 SatOcean services • Seven questions for each service: a. a narrative description of the need, b. the main end-users of the feature service, c. whether they are using CMEMS (satellite and/or in-situ) products and services, d. whether they are using any other (non-CEMS) satellite data, products and services, e. to indicate at what level (1-5) end-users’ needs are currently met, f. further information whether there are any further potential improvements and additional / future needs • indicate the importance (N/A, Very Low – Very High) of each feature service. • Eight (8) complete responses were received from five (5) End-Users: • Directorate General for Maritime Policy - DGPM - Portugal • Guardian Civil - GUCI - Spain • Hellenic Centre for Marine Research - HCMR - Greece • Regional Fund for Science and Technology of the Azores - FRCT - Portugal • Norwegian Coastal Administration - NCA – Norway

6. The approach Common web based platform -> allowing the use and submission of requests for EO-based services. Overall design and development shall adhere and use international standards with respect to the operational, technological, legal and semantic widely accepted trends. Build robust innovative solutions serving different types of end users. Improve COPERNICUS visibility in the EU level & strengthen the collaboration between the supply (i.e. SME, industries) and the demand side (PAs).

7. …… Existing/developed environment

8. Existing/developed environment All EO Downstream services: shall be based on both EO data streams and Copernicus services (e.g. CMEMS). shall leverage on the sheer volume of data both frequency and accuracy generated by the Copernicus program (not only EO data but in-situ data – e.g. EEA) -> that poses both datamanagement and analysischallenges. shall be in line and updated on Copernicus initiatives -> Avoid “reinventing the wheel”.

9. communities Existing/developed environment • eoMALL an industry-led initiative coordinated by EARSC – trying to establish a marketplace for European EO Services and solving in a sense the fragmentation of the different value propositions. • Already developed solutions coming from the industry (e.g. SparkInData, M.App Exhange, CODE-DE by DLR) The design and development approach must take into account: Initiatives that attempt to bridge the technological gap for the effective processing of big Copernicus data (e.g. the TEPs - Thematic Exploitation Platforms) towards setting up value chains and engage with more and larger user communities and foster new users’ uptake. New DIAS (Data and Information Access Service) era that is to become the “breeding grounds” for innovative applications or "algorithm factories" that would help propel Europe to the forefront of global competition fueled by Copernicus (data and services).

10. …… EO Downstream Service requirements

11. EO Downstream Service requirements MARINE-EO’s feature services and the proposed scenarios – SatOceanServices

12. Generic Requirements Generic view of what is envisaged to be developed by the Contractors and more precisely this includes all three tiers starting from the lowest logical level (Database) and moving up to the Application level (User Interface): A single point of access where all End-Users will be able to register and use the services. Be capable to request the application of another area of interest - on demand service. Be capable to request more accurate information using DWH data and/or on demand ordering.
