WP15: Data management

1. WP15: Data management 1. Observations: Field Work (sedimentcores & watercolumn; sections, time seriesstations, moorings, etc.) Mesocosm Experiments Laboratory Experiments Challenges: Moderate datavolume but very large varietyofdatatypes, parametersandformats. Many PIs involved.

2. 2. Model Output: • Resultsfrom regional and global EPOCA models Challenges: • Very large datavolume but limited varietyofparametersanddataformats (netCDF). WP15: Data management

3. Observations: • WDC- Mare (S. Pesant, A.-M. Nisumaa) • Quality controlby individual PIs • Importanceofmetadata • Model Output: • Catalogue of model runsincluding PI contactinformation • Core experimentsavailablethrough online system • (J. Orr, L. Bopp, N.N.) Implementation

8. TobeestablishedbyM3 • Objective: • Promote open accessofobservationaldataand model resultsto EPOCA PIs whileprotecting the intellectual property rights of the data producers. Data sharing policy Timeline: • Deliveryto EPOCA database3 monthsafter datacreation. • Proprietoryrightsperiodof2 years. Data usageby EPOCA andexternalpartnerswithpermissionoforiginatorstronglyencouragedtomaximizescientificoutput. • Data publiclyavailable2 years after datacreation.

9. In case of conflicts: Panel for protection, dissemination, and exploitation of knowledge. It will monitor and give recommendations to the EB on priorities aimed at encouraging and promoting data and information exchange in a timely and efficient manner. It will also propose a data policy with binding rules for all project partners and oversee the data management. Members Peter Burkill Reiner Schlitzer (Chair) Markus Weinbauer
