why data is underused
• Discovery of Data. – Especially difficult outside your own community
• Access to data. – Confidentiality – Desire of owners to exploit added-value themselves
• Use of data.– Often restricted to “research”
• Cost of data. – Landsat fiasco
• Coherence of Data. – Especially cross-disciplinary and cross-border
• Quality of Data. – Data unaccompanied by precision estimates is useless
• Quantity of Data. – Are we undersampling? marine observation and data expert group

discovery, access and use - environmental law
• Discovery– INSPIRE 2007/2/EC
• Access– Environmental Information Directive 2003/4/EC
• Use– Public Sector Information Directive 2003/98/EC
Apply to bodies exercising public authority – not necessarily research establishments

Design Principle 1
• collect data once and share it many times.– especially if paid by public money that is
funding the collection of data,– does not of course obviate the need for
confirmatory measurements.

• develop interoperable standards– between different disciplines as well as
within communities– respect the provisions of INSPIRE
implementation rules
Design Principle 2
Seadatanet March 2009 8/19
• focus on sea-basins– process at laboratory level, national level,
sea-basin level, European level– European level connected to sea-basin level
Design Principle 3
seadatanet 27 March 2009 10/19
Design Principle 5
• Build on existing structures– Eurogeosurveys – International Hydrographic Organisation. – regional sea conventions . – EuroGOOS
• allow EMODNET to profit from the expertise and organisation that has been developed
seadatanet 27 March 2009 11/19
Design Principle 6
• user driven– need to develop feedback mechanisms– define priorities
HERMES 26 March 2009 12/19
Design Principle 7
• clarify ownership, accuracy and precision – data should be accompanied by a statement
concerning ownership, rights of use, precision and accuracy
– allows recognition of data providers
HERMES 26 March 2009 13/19
Design Principle 8
• freedom of use for publicly funded data– conditions of use remain prerogative of owner – need to move cautiously
• a number of organisations in the public domain – particularly in geology and hydrography - are concerned that the loss of income from data sales might limit their ability to process and archive data.
– nevertheless the charging for data for commercial use is a brake on innovation without bringing a net gain in benefits for society

Preparatory Actions €4,250,000
• develop, test, operate and maintain portals allowing public access and viewing of these data
• monitor and report on the effectiveness of the system
• analyse what further steps need to be taken
• keep the portal operational afterwards and be prepared to transfer to the Commission.
